Hope you and your family have a Happy and Very Successful New Year!

Now, the hat must wait, I am lentilled out, just too cold here to justify electric heating the whole room for warm hands and clay. But if I can get that basic shape big enough, I am going for platter size eventually.

Hands kill, as do the joints, so spend more time looking at and reading about clay right now, lol. Glad I found a fabulous place to do it here.

Only thing that works is heavy duty heat cream rubbed then covered with the tight latex gloves. Warms up the hands to playing the with the pasta machine stage.

Think I am going to have to set up a bed project box, so as I get stuff to a certain stage, I can move it to where the heating pads are situated, then continue to work.

Lord, I pray I will not die in my sleep so that this addiction will not have to be explained to total strangers….

Ahahaha. Nope, no pics. Six inches next. Hands really hurt so it’s hard, but satisfying. The lentils aren’t “show ready” just big. Awesome to me! Thanks for that excellent video, it made it possible.

Also, on a fitness program after those lentils. Noticed I jiggled ALL OVER trying to get that repeat spiral motion down. Need more spandex, lol.

@Jocelyn – can’t wait to see a picture of your 4″ lentil bead. That sounds awesome!

@Freda – your extruded flower, Christmas Tree Pin looks very cute.
