| Melting gigantic raw clay head... |
 |
| Stacked up the alphabet stamps... |
 |
| A modern day marvel... |
 |
| Odds and ends from days gone by... |
 |
| The real boom box has been replaced with a fake one... |
 |
| Starting to make some simple sprigs... |
 |
| Unpacked the tiles from Chris, and some pot stands... |
 |
| Hoping to fire these, and then make reverse molds of them... |
 |
| These will dry quickly... |
 |
| Loving the snail shell and the sunflower... |
 |
| Making more reverse molds... |
 |
| Hoping to get rid of the fan and the heater... |
 |
| Cleaned off the work areas... |
 |
| This table will house the air conditioner unit... |
 |
| The rolling table got a little spruce... |
 |

| The studio mascot is now ready to melt outside... |
 |

 |
| These are for the future class Dia de los Muertos altar... |
 |
| Started out with some bases, and by firming up the cones... |
 |
| Beefed up the bases to support the cones... |
 |
| The bases are supported by metal jar lids... |
 |
| Adding some handles... |
 |
| And, some skeletons... |
 |
| Rolling out the pieces... |
 |
| Studio views... |
 |
| Making some saucers, with ball jar inserts... |
 |
| Trimming and texturing... |
 |
| Placing some finger folds... |
 |
| Adding useless decorative handles... |
 |
| Taking them in the house to dry... |
 |
| The shed is really hot, so these slabs dried quickly... |
 |
| Raking over the cups to make sure they seal... |
 |
| Here are some lids to use as covers... |
 |
| Applying texture to the last cup... |
 |
| Once they've been smoothed they get carved pinstripes... |
 |
| Knobs are added, and then the lid edges get dinged... |
 |
| Made a base to have this bowl become a compote... |
 |
| All done and drying in the kitchen... |
 |
| Having a smoke... |
 |
| Built the bust part, and then let it firm up overnight... |
 |
| Built a two pinch pot head... |
 |
| Fleshing out the contours... |
 |
| Putting in the eyes... |
 |
| Fiddling with the hairdo... |
 |
| Turns into a hairdon't mostly... |
 |
| Everyone is hanging out in the kitchen... |
 |
| Building exterior... |
