Trader Tom's Ceramic Projects - Other Crafts

This Vicious Virgin Bowl just got put together today on the kitchen island. The bowl is from a mold I made and has a volcanic textured exterior. The girls are from a Holland Mold I acquired. I attached them with a special mix of paper clay and the same slip that was used in the slip casting. I'm trying to minimize cracking but this is my first time, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. If things go smoothly, I hope to make a few more in assorted colors and sell a few. If things go badly, I may just gnash my teeth and put everything back in the garage for a while. Wish me luck! I'll be sure to post progress pics.
