VanTiki Mugs: Octopus Time Lapse - Other Crafts

Here is a peek at a couple of the tiny (and I mean tiny - these are shot glasses at most) fellows: Really happy so far. I sculpted 4, and I've added a second coat of gold to two of them (plus a skull tile) and those are in the kiln now. Supposedly a second coat of this gold looks even deeper and more gold-ish, but I am freaked out about the gamble of sending these pieces back in the kiln for a FOURTH firing (bisque fire, gloss glaze fire, gold glaze fire 1, gold glaze fire 2)! I'll keep you all posted. I believe the fellow on the right in the photo will be residing in the mouth of the "Gold Eater" mega-mug that popped up a few posts back.
