As I was using my ferns I decided that for any forms I was making that I was going to have to do joins I decided not to use the slip. I thought it would just get too messy on my hands. I might end up doing the reverse on the bisque where I wipe it away on the fern part.
Before we left I tried to make a big picture, but I fiddled with it too much and it collapsed. This one I let it setup a lot longer so that it wouldn't collapse when I shaped it. I also let it sit overnight before attaching the handle to prevent collapse. I'm really happy with how it turned out.


I also made a giant mug. This mug will be only for SERIOUS coffee drinkers :)




Then a normal size mug for those of us who can't handle that much caffeine any more.
