It's Not the End (Of the World)

Yup, I broke it.

It's an easy fix--I hope--so long as the broken piece doesn't warp in the final firing so much that I can't glue it back on. I guess we'll know soon.

Big Cell (THIS IS NOW)

Big Cell (THIS IS NOW) is still green, still in the drying stage, but at the point where I can leave it uncovered until it dries completely.

THIS IS NOW in Braille.  The dots flattened out, but it's still "readable" by touch, I think.

 It's hard to get any perspective on how big Big Cell is from this photo, isn't it? It's about the size of a large, deep punch bowl and it weighs about fifteen pounds without inclusions.

This is the nucleus. I intended the piece inside to be the nucleolus, but it's too small for that purpose I think.

The nucleolus is about the size of an orange.
