HI croc. Well, I'm just getting ready to head back up to the studio. NOW, I promise<GGG> Hopefully I'll get this fountain completed over the weekend. I've noticed it has begun to form a few minor cracks. Nothing structurally wrong and even though I have come to accept minor cracks in such large pieces, I don't like it. It shouldn't pose much of a problem aesthetically either as I have learned how to conceal them after the glaze firing. a little putty like cement and some paint shaded to match the glaze well enough. I should mention in passing the cracks are mostly limited to the back of the pieces(usually the first couple slab constructed) so again not a big deal. One thing I would like to do though is build one good piece and than make a mold of it. Run em off in a series of say ten pieces than bust the mold. However it would require sectional molds and I have zero experience and limited knowledge how to do that. Would most likely be something I contract out to someone knows what they are doing. And it's a ways down the road. But always in the back of my mind. Talk to you later on.
