    Amazing as always. I just love watching your process - and that you include your mistakes and how you fix them! It's so easy to freak out when something doesn't work or goes wrong (with ceramics it happens all the time!) . Had that experience recently with a tagine that I made and spent hours and hours on. I took it home after it was bisque fired, and it was fine. But when I went to pick up the lid, the cup at the top just came off in my hand! 😧 Luckily, a fellow potter had told me about 'bisque fix', so I slathered some of that on both parts, pressed them together, wiped the excess, put the whole piece back in a second bisque firing. So far, so good. For the glaze firing I covered the join with a thick layer of a beautiful brush on glaze and the rest with clear glaze - and prayed! Result: beautiful - and you can't even tell that it was broken.😃 I'll send you a photo.

    Beautiful.💖 It's like you can see the magical world of Skylands (Skylanders) or Nightopia (Night's journey into dreams) all over again. I can't imagine if you made Beauty & the Beast Enchanted rose, see you next time.

    It’s wonderful! I do have a question though; how does the resin not just run down the plastic and pool in the bottom only. It looks like resin stuck to the 'waterfall' as well. Is it thicker or faster curing or something. I hope what I’m asking makes sense.. 😊

    Hey kids, take it from someone who's worked in construction, please don't drill straight into something that you're holding in the palm of your hand. All it takes is a little extra squeeze of the trigger, a slip of the hand, and you're gonna have a bad time...
