MaukaHale it was fun and the best part was scaring the parents.

LoriLovesTiki thank you and I hope you had fun too.

=================

Wish List #6 Update. I ran out of room in the house so it was time to get the dry projects into the kiln. That way I could judge how many more will fit for this next load.

These were dry so I started sanding them.

This is the Elvis Fun Fake #2.

I was really happy that slow drying prevented this volcano bowl from cracking. Keep in mind it doesn't have an owner.

Clay dust in a kiln shortens it's life so vacuuming out the kiln is needed. However if you blow off the dust

before loading it helps a lot. Also when washing they clean up for glazing easier.

The magic mend didn't hold for poor Gilligan. I barely touched him and he fell apart. This all happened in the first place because I lost concentration and picked him up wrong.

He'll make a fine mug but for Tiki Wahini's Wish to be right I'll make him over again from scratch. He'll have a broken handle in one hand and the broken wheel leaning up against his side.

I filled the bottom and then loaded the top. There is room for more so I'll wait until some more are dried.

We continue to pour the parts for the next batch of Hot Tub Hula Girls.

I'm having fun and keeping busy. Oh and I'm keeping Dan busy too! Cheers, Wendy
