Off the Porch and Growling

Sometimes the devil ain't in the details, the bastard hides in the trimming tools just so he he can make you dance.

Hate when he does that - really, I do. For the second time I destroyed the platter I am attempting to make for Tash. I swear I will get that platter made if it kills me. And right after that I have honey pots to do again. lol yep, I'm-a stubborn mule. Isn't it amazing mule and fool rhyme?

Anyway, I think the problem with the platters is that I was using about six pounds of clay which it seems is not enough to make it thick enough to trim and wide enough to be a platter. Love the handles though, on the bright side they get better everytime. I think they are very organic if I can use the term. Just for reference here is a picture of th platter again. So .... because my dumbness destroyed yet another platter I threw two, yes - two and I made them eight pounds a piece. If that;s not think enough well then I've really done something wrong.

Also red iron oxided the bird house and mug which came out of bisque however; no soda ash so I put 'em back on the shelf and will mix up a batch this next week. No biggie - I shoulda looked before starting.
