I am wondering what could be in there that I need. Ha.<br /><br />Hi Gay, thanks, I hope he maintains his coloring through the firing. For the applique-first I make a paper template and hold it up against the vase to see how it looks, then I use the paper template to cut out the shape of the ferns from a separate piece of clay, making them thinner than the wall of the vase, I score and slip them and attach to the vase; I smooth out the edges with a sculpture tool. then I carve the stems in the attached fern leaves.<br /><br />Hi Kittie, thanks, did he rent the car in a state other than Florida, I didn't know this program was in other states too, good if he saved money.<br /><br />Sorry you are too late, we already ate all the clams, now I am wondering what to do with the shells, there must be a use there? But let me know and I'll get more if you come to visit. <br /><br />Hi Jim, thanks, I need to make more of the things that don't make it, this vase took quite a while to make, but I guess the result was worth it. Poor turtle, hope they get bit by the snapper; I know what you mean about confronting them though, one never knows nowadays. Gary and I were driving on a lonely country road the other day and a guy on a motorcycle had stopped in the road to rescue a really big turtle crossing the highway, I thought that was so wonderful. We flashed our lights to warn folks to slow down till he got him to safety.<br /><br />Hi Sapphire, thanks, glad you like the pieces, I guess from all the comments I should make more pieces with turtles and ferns; I better get busy.Linda Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-12227195491205249742010-05-25T20:16:50.118-04:002010-05-25T20:16:50.118-04:00Hi Linda

When I saw the Brick above, I thought how that would be super...a really clever idea, girl. But you're right about slime build-up...you're so talented to be able to make a cap...wow! And the inverted base, perfect. My lilies are still opening up...have never seen so many buds...five stems just popping...speaking of which, when are you serving dinner?
