A few weeks ago our good friend Liz (Cave Girl Eats) posted a delicious looking recipe for rabbit. We had never tried rabbit before, nor did we have much of a desire to try it. Hey, after cows tongue (and heart!) we really don't rule anything out anymore, so if the opportunity presented itself, rabbit

I have at last reached the stage where I can begin to put the hoards (is that the correct collective noun?!) of ceramic caves together into a single form. I have procrastinated quite a bit over this today! I spent such a long time in making the caves that I was terrified it would all go horribly wrong when I came to join them together. It was a bit of a faff! As my friend, Rebecca suggested I could really have done with some help from the Blue Reef octopus tonight; I just didn't have enough hands! I also needed to switch off gravity for a bit... (that's the force I'm talking about, nothing to do with my general outlook.) Thankfully, things seem to have gone okay... so far... At least they did once I got myself properly sorted with everything I needed in order to do the job. I never seem to be properly prepared when I begin this kind of task - you'd think I'd learn (maybe I'm taking this 'thinking like a fish' business too far)! For example I hadn't really thought about how I was going to move the finished - delicate and heavy - piece from my work bench to the back of my car for transporting to the kiln. Fortunately, I did manage to get a wooden board underneath it on completion of the first layer of caves. The balloons idea actually turned out to be a good one. The balloons gently support the lower caves without putting any pressure on the clay and I've blown them up so as to only just touch the inside of the ball thus allowing the clay some room for shrinkage during the building process. If necessary I'll let a bit more air out of the balloons as the clay shrinks although balloons always seem to shrink over time as well. I reckon this work is going to take a lot of monitoring as it dries. There are good few stress points to keep an eye on. I managed to get up to the third level of large caves tonight and then I'd had enough! Each of these caves has a passage way to the one at the side or above/below it, thus fish can swim between them. I've varied the hole sizes between the caves so that some of the bigger fish will be limited to certain routes through, and the smaller fish will then get chance to zip through the entire sculpture and hide if they need to. As I said in an earlier post, this particular work is really great fun to make. There's something very appealing about making something I know will be used by an animal or two! I hope to have the piece finished by the end of tomorrow. Will report back on further progress later...
Grade 6 sculpted their Father's Day pots. Normally I wait until I have a completed sample to show you but with Father's Day approaching I thought I'd show you the process and add some pictures of the final results in a few weeks. That way if you want to try this with your class you still have time. MATERIALS REQUIRED: - clay - access to a kiln or use air dry clay - nails for cutting with - wooden skewers - little cups of water - piece of canvas like fabric to work on - rolling pin - newspaper - glaze - potting soil - cat grass seeds, alfalfa seeds, etc. for hair PROCEDURE: So the pot is made by slab construction. You can do a pinch pot but I wanted the Grade 6's to have a nice smooth surface to mold their face on. Roll out a clay slab about 1/2 inch thick. Cut a long rectangle with a nail. Roll into a cylinder overlapping the ends a bit. With your finger and a little bit of water smooth the seam and ensure a tight seal. Cut a bottom out of remaining rolled clay. Trace around the outside of your cylinder. Make a hole in the circle (bottom) for drainage in the finished pot. To "glue" the cylinder to the bottom you want to scratch or score both pieces of clay where they will be attaching. Add a little bit of water with your finger. Smooth the seam with your finger and a little more water if needed. Tap the pot on your work table lightly to ensure the bottom will be level. Now we can start sculpting the face. We want this to look like our Dad so the students brought in photos or had them on their cellphones to use as reference. Start by molding the nose, attach a triangular shape to the pot and then round the tip and smooth the bridge of the nose. Add the eyebrows. Roll out a thin snake. Cut to desired length and attach smoothing into bridge of the nose. Make sure you scratch and moisten when "gluing" 2 pieces of clay together. For the eyes you can form an outline using those thin snakes. Apply to the face. Cut little ovals out of some rolled clay for the eyeballs an attach inside the outline. Using a skewer you can mark in the pupils. Make a mouth in the same fashion with thin rolled snakes and apply to the face. You can add scratches to the eyebrows as well as extra clay to form the cheekbones and chin. Just make sure to tap the pot after making the chin to ensure that flat bottom. Add ears. You don't want them to stick out too far or else they will just break off. Finally add a 1/2 piece of newspaper crumpled up and place in pot to help it hold it's shape while drying. Remove the newspaper before firing. Place pots in a warm place with lots of air circulation to dry out. I cover mine loosely with garbage bags for about 2 days and then I remove the bags and let the pots finish drying. This slows down the drying process (we are so dry here in Calgary) and stops cracking. That's it for now. I'll fire these pots in about 10 days or so when they are no longer cool to the touch. Stay tuned for part 2. Later....

Hello All! I've created a few handmade Polymer clay fry or Shrimplet hides for cool aquariums. These have the added benefit of being porous enough to help your beneficial bacteria grow and thrive! Excellent in allowing baby fish or shrimp to hide out and graze in peace. These are handmade by me, and will vary in color and composition. There are some photos above of sample sizes and look. These are the smaller pots I offer, as the pots are only 1.5" high. The succulents will make these a total of about 3" high, and less than 3" wide. These Fry caves are made of baked Polymer clay and natural lava rock. They are unglazed, unpainted, and untreated, and perfectly safe for tanks. They do not in any way affect your tank parameters. They are basically PVC, Terra- cotta, and natural stone. You have the option of a succulent pot filled or unfilled with lava rock. The options are pictured above. :) You'll receive these wrapped in tissue paper, nestled in a windowed kraft gift box. Check out my other listings for neat Aquarium decor, tank mates, and plants! I ship USPS first class Mondays and Fridays to try to ensure USPS gets this to you before a weekend. Please be sure your address is correct! Thank you for looking, aqua friends! This is a weird time for us all. I want to thank you for allowing me to practice my hobby from home. It brings me so much joy 🙏
