Wendy, thanks!

I intend on texturing that part as well but the paper clay mixture is very peanut buttery and I can't use my pumice stone to texture it just yet. I'll try it later today after it dries a bit more.

I'm already thinking ahead to the glazing.

My first version of this bowl was intended to be a volcano bowl and it developed all kinds of cracks in the greenware surrounding the volcano insert. I patched it with some success using paper clay, but it still had noticeable cracks that widened after the glaze fire.

This time I'm trying to be a bit more careful. Fingers crossed.
