MaukaHale that would be so nice.

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

Wish List #8 The I Dream of Jeannie bottle. More steps and more days of work.

It's time to take the bottle out. I pulled the sides apart. It's still very soft.

I can already tell that the bottle will have to go back inside or the bottle will collapse. I decided that I didn't need the plastic wrap so I cut it off.

This is where I'm yelling Dan Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp! I couldn't let go.

So he came and took all the rest of the plastic wrap off the inner bottle and helped me put it back inside to support the top.

Days later it was firmer so I took out the bottle.

I decided that all I could do was smooth the inside.

It started to collapse. Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan! So he held the top upright with a plastic bag while I finished the smoothing. I will eventually carve out a lot of the clay so this is busy work.

This time I supported it with balloons. First this one and

then a smaller one on top until the top

was straight up. Now I sealed the top together so I can't ever put the inner bottle back in place.

I hope you are all having a very fun Saturday night, Wendy
