Degrees of Twaddle
Several projects on the go at present.
1. Producing thin coloured slabs for use in mosaic work. This is relatively striaght forward.
2. Batch of saucers for my small cups. Going OK, just need to get the size right.
3. Still trying to get these slip cast forms right. So far I've tried three different slips and have had to resort to making it myself using plastic clay, soda ash and sodium silicate. The latter comes in a variety of strengths, measured in degrees of twaddle. It's a lovely phrase! I now have a small set of electronic scales accurate to 0.01g - thanks to ebay of course.
