hang10tiki do it that would be fun to watch. What size?

littlegiles that is great to hear. I could do a gold tooth but it would wear off over time. I would have to let the owner know that information.

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

Wish List #8 and the Sacramento Crawl mug for October 2018 are progressing one step at a time.

I have all these to sand. I do it outside whenever the weather permits.

I usually take photos of Dan but today he caught me in the act.

Hours later I had finished all of them and

Dan put on his protective gear and

dusted each one.

I won't be able to do so many of the crawl mugs when they are glazed. If they touch they glue together.

Time to fire some wishes too. The I Dream of Jeanne bottle was too tall. I can't lie it on it's side when it glazes so it will take up a lot of space.

The firing is done and I unloaded the kiln.

The Jeanne bottle had the crack return.

It doesn't go all the way through. I have notified the wisher of this defect. Ceramics are full of disappointments and hard work.

No problems with any of the crawl mugs.

Now the next day we work will be a day of scrubbing.

The day arrived.

After washing they go on clean trays and are

brought into the house. They sit out to dry a day and then are covered with plastic to prevent dust from reaching them. Dust will make the glaze pull back leaving an unglazed area called a skip.

Soon I will stop sculpting and just glaze everything that is fired. Then I'll start the cycle all over again!

Cheers, Wendy
