Wish List #8 Phase Four continues the countdown of Diver's Helmets with skulls. This is number three.

I always start with a blank helmet and then I go to work.

I cut a window box and I stick it on with sticky clay. That's clay mixed with slip and the clay is what I have cut off the tops of mugs.

Then very carefully to not trap any air I move the clay to seal it to the helmet. I do this inside the box and

outside of the box.

I then glue on a slab of clay and outline the O2 Out with a spike.

I remove the excess clay and

smooth it with wet brush and tools.

The barnacles have found a place to grow.

All done and ready for inspection.

My goal is to have each one be different in some way. Wendy
