The skullcano is way cool! I like the red clay, I've been playing with some brown Laguna WC373 because I like the natural clay colors. I even tried a 3 clay body piece with porcelain, WC373, and SOldate 60 for white, brown, and yellow.

Very Cool Mike, The different clay colors should be a cool look, I used Aardvark clay, But probably very much the same as Laguna clay? I was just going to clear glaze and let the clay bring out there natural colors, Instead of glazing over them, Thank You for the awesome kiln plug! Mahalo! Gogo

looks like that really great vintage tiki bowl out there with the three ladies. But better due to the volcano.

Cool Gogo, I dig the Gogo style "Vicious Virgin" Wahines and the hut is real unique, I'll move in there with Ken, we will through a party & hell, we'll invite ya  Will the volcano be deep so that it will hold dry ice? All your new stuff looks great I am likeing the red clay mug. Looking forward to seeing all the new stuff at the Tonga Hut...

Thanks All, For the kind responses back, My new " Goon Bowl " I didn't add too much detail on this bowl, I want to heavy glaze it, The small details would be lost any way, I'll post some pictures when done, I want the glaze to be the art more than the sculpt on this one! If that makes sense! I made the center a dry ice chamber, Instead of a flame chamber, The cut out of the eyes are higher than the liquid level, So it should bubble and smoke pretty cool? Whatcha Think? Cheers! Gogo

I have been working with some different red clays, I made some pendents to start about 6 months ago, I wanted a different look, Then some mugs about 2 months ago, I wanted to try out different glazes on darker bisque, Instead of a white bisque, After trying a bunch of glaze combinations, I like the way this turned out the best on this pendant:
Using red clay is very messy! Like Blood, It stains clothes and just get on everything! Like being in a surgery center!
Here is my latest un-glazed red clay bowl "Big Red" After glazing a bunch of pendants, I know how I want to glaze it, And which glazes work and don't, Glazing on a darker bisque is different than a white for sure, I have learned, Trail and Error!:
Whatcha Think, Cheers! Gogo

I have finally completed my red and white clay one of a kind mug, Not from a mold, I inlaid the eyes New Zealand blue/green abalone and the bottom California brown/caramel abalone.
Also my all red clay, One of a kind mug, I glazed it so it looks like it was buried for a couple hundred years, It really looks very old in real life!
Whatcha Think? Cheers! Gogo

They both look great Gogo. I take it you inlaid the abalone after it was fired? What did you attach (glue) them in with?
