hang10tiki I better post some more before bedtime.

Hamo that is Dan for sure. I want to visit Colorado one day on a driving trip. I want to drive from city to town to hamlet. Hamo do you live in a Hamlet?

Hamo my sister also married a man who treats her as a queen. Every day she is surrounded by love and fun.

hang10tiki rum to riches sure is right for you! Congratulations on another win.

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

More steps for hang10tiki Wish for an Easter Island mug.

I rolled out a flat piece of clay and lay the cutout on top.

I used a spike to cut off the excess clay and then

I painted the mug with some slip to use as a glue and to prevent air from being trapped.

I peeled off the cutout, lay it on the mug and pressed gently from one side to the other. Wow piece of cake...or not.

I did the same process of cutting it out

and peeling off the cutout. But when I went to put it on the mug it was the wrong size. How could that be?

Turned out this clay had more water content and had become elastic. In the seconds it took to lift it to the mug it stretched!

OK, I'll start over but I may as well do the Moai first. Same steps however...

It was not in the right place and I had to scrap it back off.

If I drank alcohol it would be time for a drink. However candy works well and I figured out a fix for the next day.

Clay is fun despite the problems you can run into. Cheers, Wendy
