Today

So i got bored and decided to start another Heart Bowl. Lots of people love the other one, i suspect they know it was hell and just want to make and just want me to work hard....

Here it is cut out and bashed on the tree stump. I'm using the smaller hammer, it gives more control, although its harder work.


More heart shaped here after about four goes round with little rubber hammer.  Notice the bit between the heart lobes is creasing up, i had that trouble last time too....
red hot and left to cool, you can just dunk it in cold water but i'm wondering if i might leave this one smoother, the rapid cooling makes it a bit rougher...and not as i need a rest after the hammering. Well mostly .

 Hammer hammer hammer... her it is at its half crisp stage, half of it is hammered...


Yes i know it's lost all its shape, well almost. Fully crisped now you can hear it squeak its so work hardened! I heated it and i could see it relax with a sigh...my arm however aches like a ... well like an achy thing.
