LoriLovesTiki I am going to make more of the run for the Sacramento Crawl during the next Wish List #7 since it's a run of 100 and I just made 71 so far.
I am so glad you like it. They were worth the extra work.

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

I've just been doing odd jobs while and getting ready for the Sacramento Crawl.

I went to Alpha Fired Arts to get some more glaze and that's my kind of store.

But when I go there I always find new glazes and then I have to do the glaze tests. This started a big project for me. I needed more of the strips
for the tests and then I realized that I had 20 pounds of clay that was getting to be too hard to work so.........

I started cutting up the blocks of clay and

turning them into small slabs with holes in the top for hanging on nails.

I used this metal tool to

make these indentations. This way I can see how the glaze will react to carved detail.

I got this many done and then I spent a couple of hours cutting up all the clay and putting it into plastic bags with a bit of water which should keep it good for a few more months.

They are now on the shelf with all the bowls and mugs I'm pouring in anticipation of the next Wish List #7.

I am taking orders now. When I reach 50 projects I will close the list.

Cheers, Wendy
