HopeChest ah, I wish we could have taken you through the collection. Any time you are coming to our area let me know so we can have another meet up.

Hamo OK just for you we will do another huge garage sale in about 6 months. This was so much fun we have to do it again.

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

During the set up for the tiki garage sale I continued to work on projects. Now I'll start doing the catch up photos of progress on the Wish List #8 and the Sacramento Crawl mugs.

After two Bumatay Fish broke off the first bowl I sanded I started again with a non-Bumatay bowl. Success! Nothing broke off.

While being supervised by Scottie I continued to sand until the rest of the bowls were done. No problems.

The bowls are so large that for the bisque fire I could only put two on the bottom and

three on the top because there were no fish on one and only two on the other.

They all fired just fine without any problems or flying fish. Comparing to the in-fired photos you can see how much they have shrunk making a bit of space between them where before they touched.

I won't be able to put even two on a shelf when I glaze them so I'll have to pair them with other small projects.

They had to wait in the kiln shed for a day that worked for washing outdoors.

It finally arrived and we did the washing.

Then we brought them inside. A day later the plastic cloth was draped over them to protect them from dust.

On step at a time and it starts to show, Wendy
