Mahalos you Crazy Kids!
Well, not quite being in the mood to work on the big painting

i thought I'd try a full color option on the medallion decals....

but after finishing it, I think the tonal approach is the way to go! There's so much going on with the faces in front that i would rather have the elements compliment each other instead of vying for attention."Vying" that's a word,right? Anywhoos, looked at some more glazes and Holden's gonna check on some more satin/matte glazes in the colors we'd like. I'm pushing for a brown (typical tiki mug orange brown) turquoise/teal (looks great with the earth tones as a little "pop" -plus it won't be scary outdoor pool teal, but a deeper richer tone) and a medium to dark olive (all of them in the same tonal range-not too WHAM! and in your face, but more subdued and mellow and CLASSY in a retro kind of way). But that's my color wish list for now, subject to change if some new discovery pops onto the horizon!
Well, time for sleep! Good night dear TC Ohana! May your dreams be filled with gentle shores and fragrant warm winds....
