Spinning Platter, got to go round
So ... so far the platter is coming along nicely, after a week or two of well wrapped drying it was still wet enough for me to split the clay in approximately central location diametrically opposed ... yes, opposite of one another. The thing of note is how large it is. I am fairly proud of this at this point on time. I don't know if it will make it or not, the clay gods haven't rendered their decision yet, assuming I keep drying it sloooowly then I would "assume" (yes it really is an ugly word) it should pop-off the bat this next weekend and allow for some trimming.
Now there are a hundred things that can go wrong between now and then. The dreaded crack can occur if it dries too fast, the trimming could go badly and we end up with something out of a claymation horror story, the bisque cracks or the glaze firing goes all wonky wonk wonk.
Otherwise I've completed a bird house as well and put another mug together, this one is more stein-ish I was going for tall, as I have an idea - its not there yet but someday soon. As for the rest two mugs went in, a planter for a moss garden and a pitcher. We shall see what we shall see when those about to be fired meet flame and return. Scarred or ... ??? Only the gods of the kiln know.
-Peace
