ebtiki, thank you for all your support.

Beachbumz, the very first one we poured was the first mold with a larger hole and it came out perfectly. The next three molds we made had openings the size of a carrot. No good at all. We will open them up as large as possible. We couldn't pour them without the glug glug so we knew right off we would fail with this first batch. I should have made the openings big when we made the molds, never again will I forget to do that.

Here's the progress on the Tiki Bob projects. Yesterday I painted every Bob and hat until each had three layers of glaze or under glaze. On the sombrero's some of the painting doesn't show up well in the photos but it's there. The clear glaze will make these bright. I did my best to keep them looking different so they can stay 1/1's. Today I will put two layers of clear glaze over all the parts that are painted with under glazes. So that means five total layers on some areas.

It was Easter when I painted the sombrero's and it sure felt like I was doing Easter Eggs!

I have the last one 50/50 of my Zombie Hut/Coral Reef mugs up on eBay. I've listed it on Marketplace. This is the first time I've sold my art on eBay myself. I am going to have fun watching this one.

Until next time, Wendy
