Someone recently asked me about buying one of the Zombie Hut/Coral Reef mugs from our crawl. I told him I may be making some in the future. I have lost his PM and so if you are him please write to me again.

This past summer I poured 10 more of these mugs. The molds were further gone and it took hours of carving to put the lettering back. They have been waiting for me.

I planned on putting them on eBay to see what others from outlying areas will think they are worth. I was going to change them. In the end I am too super busy right now that I have decided to do three like those I did for the crawl. That will mean there were 3 artist proofs and 50 for the run. I will number these 48, 49 and 50. I owe one to the PM sender. Two may go on eBay.

The 7 that are left I will change up and I'll let you know how later. They are firing right now with just the glossy black. Working on these is like visiting an old friend.

Glazed the inside of each mug.

Hand painted the outside with three layers each. Too cold to go outside with a spray gun.

Finished the 10, time to fire them.

More photos to come. When the Forbidden Island Tiki Crates are done I will mold the decanter and off we will go. Cheers, Wendy
