Prikli Pear that's what Dan says as he lifts the mold. That's what I'll say when it takes gallons of glaze to cover it.

Piddersthecat I'm looking forward to the day the glazing starts. So many projects my head is spinning. I could star on the Exorcist.
The mug is as large as a persons head. When I have one fired I'll measure it's volume.

GROG I'm waiting for my round trip ticket to spend a day glazing with you! Would I have to live off road kill?
I love my thick heavy molds. I guess I need to love Dan even more! I need them thick so they will pull out water for 3 hours.

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

Progress Report on the Sacramento Crawl mug and Wish List #8. Here are more photos than you could possible want. Thank you for the visit.

This is how I keep track of how many I pour from a mold.

I can do one volcano a day as long as we are home long enough to wait to pour out the slip 3 hours after pouring it in. We try to do this at 6:00am. Today it was at 8:00am so we have to be here at 11:00 am to pour it out.

I started both the Wish List and Crawl mug in October. That's five months ago. Many Wishes have been shipped.

I rotate the work. Clay, black velvet paintings round and round. All of it is enjoyable for me.

To make room in the garage I had to move projects that were drying to the kiln shed.

Now each day we have two areas to remember to cover and in-cover so that they will dry slowly.

Now I have more space to hold projects. Even when drying projects slowly they can still crack and need to be fixed.

As the clay dries it becomes a lighter shade of grey.

The tables are filling up again!

May your day be wonderful and full of smiles. Wendy
