Haha, thank you for the reassurance, Wendy!
Here's something I sculpted a couple months ago and let dry too much, so I couldn't get it off the pipe.
So, the re-sculpt is in progress.

Hi Dawn! Nice chatting with ya!
So, two more tests came out...not sure that the cone 10 firing at the studio is gonna give me the detail I want.
Still lots to learn, but it's been a great time.
I didn't see my other two tests in the studio, so they must be firing or cooling. Hopefully they'll be ready tomorrow.
A)
B)
What happened to the face?!?!

Happy New Year to you too, Dawn!
Can't wait to see you at the Tiki Market Place!
Thanks ebtiki! Hope Boboai is making a nice addition to your collection!
I've been learning how to throw on the wheel and "Dongaroa" is sitting in the same spot as the last time I posted.
I tried making a mold of the first piece that cracked, but didn't have enough plaster for the second pour, oops.
Hopefully I'll get the second pour done in the next couple of days.
Here are my first three pieces from the wheel.
#1 coconut - bisque fired and ready to glaze - bmix with sand
#2 pot with tapa - ready to bisque fire - soldate 60
#3 tumbler with PNG mask that progressively zooms in, on three frames. - ready to bisque fire - soldate 60

Are you making a bowl for the Bowlarama show at the Tonga Hut?
I'm glad you're mkaing a mold of the Dongaroan guy on the pipe.
Hope it comes out well. That's a nice sculpt/design.

Here's how the PNG tumbler mug turned out.
I'm pretty happy with the results, but think I'll make some tweeks on the next one.

I was just wondering what you've been up to. Hope to see you at the next International Tiki makrket place event.

Thanks Mike. Yep, it's high fire. Next time I'm gonna layoff the superclear glaze a little and go a little darker on the brown.
Hey Dawn, hope all is well! We're totally hanging out. We'll talk soon.

Your high fire glazes look terrific along with your tikis. Wendy
