Best not to waste it but OMG!<br /><br />We actually smack the clay onto the surface towards us which elongates and thins it out. I cheated and got out one of the giant rolling pins because it was crazy. Then we put it through what looks like a giant pasta maker! Crazy but awesome. Just wish I was stronger.

It makes total sense that once you hit "too tired" decision-making can wait.<br /><br />Suzie, that is so impressive and what a ton of work. Do you roll it like dough? What you are creating is amazing! I can't wait to see the lantern.Jamie Ridler Studioshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03406607157962872001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7491992562898036318.post-46965797563355258552016-03-23T00:07:32.531-04:002016-03-23T00:07:32.531-04:00Recycled clay?

Amazing how this project is developing.<br /><br />Wow Shannon, that's a lot of books!<br /><br />Yes, that was a ton of clay and half of it was recycled so it was tough and dry and OMG, my nemesis.

What an exciting time and such a great way to help girls grow.<br /><br />Holy Moly Suzie that is some serious clay going on. I had no idea that you were working so big. I do not know how you did it. Pretty cool to make a lantern though, I can't wait to see it all done!<br /><br />and btw... I wonder how they heck I put the text beside my picture. I wanted to know how to do that for YEARS. No joke.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12817958532654236542noreply@blogger.com
