Making bails
 

What part is cracking? That will help me diagnose the problem. I might be able to offer a suggestion.

right where the hole is... =( I can e-mail you a pic when I get home =)

Thanks for the tut. I'll try it when it gets a little cooler in my studio.

Cracking hummingbirds
 

Hi. Are they cracking when you put them in the kiln? Which part/parts are cracking? Do you notice any cracks before you put them in the kiln? If I understand better, I may be able to offer suggestions.

Now there is some amazing heat control and a generous heart! Thank You Vicki!
