I can't get over the glaze job on the Aloha Sisters. Was that done in one firing or did you glaze parts at a time? Maybe it's just my lack of a steady hand, but sometimes it seems easier to me to glaze and fire the background (for instance) of something intricate, then go back to glaze and fire the rest. Any glaze I accidentally brush on the fired background is easy to remove. Maybe I'm just lazy because I have a small kiln and don't have to wait to fill it before I fire. I put all the colors on at once, and it was fired one time. I made use of my Robot Steam Punk Goggles to make sure the colors were brushed on exactly where I wanted them. It was like a paint-by-numbers set in 3D. You just have to be R E A L L Y careful!
