TheBigT when I started I couldn't find a book with all the answers. After reading 15 ceramic books I just set up and got to work. It's been so much fun to share what I've learned and comments like yours make it all worthwhile.

hang10tiki no way. I've done wood and your can't always correct mistakes. Your work is harder. I admire wood carvers so much. In fact I buy wood craving tools to use with my SOFT clay. You rock your HARD wood projects.
Two more weeks and I can drive again. Dan will be so happy. I'll pass on the Aloha.

Hamo clay is so much fun but reading comments is even better!

hang10tiki I love water drips on flowers and leaves. Is it rain or is it sprinklers?

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

Wish List #8 phase four update. This is the wish of Eric Allred.

War God Island.

I start by casting a fogcutter mug and an original Frankoma War God that I molded to be a statue. I clean them up for use.

Then I added a slab of clay to the top of the War God so

that it would be thick enough to stretch into a flaming rum pocket. I also added some down the back so I could glue it to the mug.

Now is the time to get messy. I use globs as soft sticky clay to build the volcano.

I use wooden tools to shape the clay.

I use a wire brush on the palm fronds.

Today I realized I hadn't taken any finished photos. So I took the mug from where it sat drying and took these.

Now it's time to see if Eric even remembers his wish. I think I'm moving fast but for those waiting I'm a tortoise.

Cheers, Wendy
