How do you do it?

Well, I hate to advocate weird chemicals, alcohol, violence or insanity to anyone... but they've always worked for me :lol:

Thanks Babala and OceaOtica. Here's the kiln plugs I've been working on. The Kamapua'a (Boar god) is made of a brown lowfire clay so I'll have to be sure I never use it in a highfire kiln. The pictures aren't that great but I like the way the Kamapua'a and the Menehune turned out. The Pele Volcano goddess didn't turn out quite like I wanted but I cast her from a mold so I get to try again until I get it right :) I wanted the background behind her to look like lava that didn't happen. I ordered some clear black glaze for her hair and some Mayco Jungle Gem Wildfire (below) for the lava background.
