[4543] Up to my arm pits in porcelain.....PICS

O.K. gang, the numbers are in!
Holly you got me goin', so here is what I got goin' on......
The first pic is a 3 pounder, with 4 pulls my initial cylinder measured 13 inches.
The second one is a 6 pounder, 4 pulls got me to 19 inches.
The third is 12 pounds, 5 pulls got me to 23 inches.
The fourth picture is me up to my pits in the 12 pounder, a "half bagger."
The fifth picture is all three together , a nice tidy set, each finished piece is within a quater of an inch of the initial cylinder. Funny how that worked out, eh?
These will dry overnight in an open top cardboard box, then get a bit of refining tomorrow.
Now only if I had a cutting edge, unique glaze to finish them with.......

Throwing Tall Narrow Forms
Annie Robbins loves tall and narrow forms and tried hard to get something that rose above 18 to 20 inches above the wheelhead. Then a few years ago, she sprained her right wrist and thumb in a car accident and didn't work for a while in order to give her hand a rest. Fearing the worst, she went to a hand specialist and broke into tears. He explained that hand injuries were sometimes worse for artists because we use our hands to express ourselves, and he encouraged me to "find a new way" and inspired me to challenge myself. Baffled, Annie set about to find a solution and here she reveals her secrets on how to make forms up to three feet high!
