Monday Mud Musings
For those of you who don't know what an extruder is....think Play Doh Fun Factory on steroids. This is a picture of the one I have mounted on a wall in my studio.
Just like the Play Doh Fun Factory you can use all sorts of dies that will give any number of really cool shapes. Here's one of my favorites an octagon :)
I find the easiest way to use my extruder is with two people - one person to pull the handle down and another to guide the extrusion as it comes out of the extruder. My husband, Dave, usually is the one who helps me.......anywho.......Dave & I spent part of our New Year's Day creating these quirky octagons.
Which I turned into Olive Oil Bottles, Syrup Pitchers and Funky Little Bud Vases (Gotta luv pottery with attitude)
(I'll post pics of the finished pcs in the near future)
