I dry all slowly because I fire infrequently so they get their chancs to lounge in the drying mode.<br /><br />Hi Gigi, thanks, I hope it makes it too. I think you can check other to pay by other method other than pay pal.<br /><br />Hi Patti, thanks, the glass platter actually has an indentation at the ends of the rays which I didn't notice when I made the platter I think that adds to the three dementionality.<br /><br />Hi Pamela Jo, thanks, I hope it turns out one way or another too.

I've never seen a piece damaged by slow drying but quick drying has killed many.

I don't want to add moist paper towels because I have found adding additional moisture on the clay promotes cracking, but I have heard of waxing the parts that dry too quickly, we shall see, thanks.<br /><br />Hi Regi, thanks, I hope I am surprised at this one, that would be so cool, as there is always the need for a big platter when there are lots of guests or if we go to a party.Linda Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-31192165904788162912011-09-13T11:32:43.035-04:002011-09-13T11:32:43.035-04:00You might be surprised about how it makes it throu...You might be surprised about how it makes it through the firing.

My pieces also dried weird -I had to use moist paper towels on some of the edges to control even drying. You also reminded me that when I needed to keep things propped up in the kiln, I had several extra cone holders(?) those rectangle little brick things you place your cones in and would prop up or keep certain sculptural pieces in place. They worked great!cindy shakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01353820195984269329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-11225501274818451132011-09-13T09:21:05.142-04:002011-09-13T09:21:05.142-04:00Hi Patricia, thanks, we shall see if not I'll ...Hi Patricia, thanks, we shall see if not I'll make a white stoneware one.<br /><br />Hi Michele, thanks, I am trying to figure out how to glaze it. I don't think I have any transparent glazes and if I glaze it with something else it will cover up the carving.
