S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y

Cut out slabs to dry, while I headed to the clay store...
Stocking up for the month...
Stacking dried plates that are ready to be sanded...
Testing out some stronger metal rods...
A hot day in the shed, dried the pieces perfectly...
The first obelisk is attached and done...
It's too hot to dry these in the shed...

Token Summer Beach Day

Behind me is the hoard of beach goers...
Tons of pelicans and seagulls were feeding near the ship...
Junior Lifeguards were in the water today...
And, the Snack Shack was open...
Today's resting bench...
A lot of seagulls and pigeons were on the pier...
Junior Lifeguards learning to read waves, and to body surf...
Striped picnic tables...
Lax dress code at Pixie...

"Sweet" & "Friends"

Small heart after backing application...
The large heart gets a backing, too...
Both hearts get an extruded border...
Cool afterimage...
Building up the layers on the large heart...
Time to make some flowers...
Drying the pieces in front of the floor fan...
Small heart "Friends" is done...
Betty was helping out in the shed...
Finished large "Sweet" heart...
Kitchens aren't just for cooking...

Taking everything indoors to dry slowly...

Wall Mounted Tiny Treasure Boxes

Treasures fit inside the little boxes...
Cutting out and drying the backs...
Building the interior boxes...
Lots and lots of scoring...
Joining the boxes to the backing pieces...
Hexagonal wall box...
Clownish circus box...
Another donkey...
Boxes and more boxes...
