Hi Lori, this is really fun to watch. I haven't experimented with glazes nearly enough. Be sure to keep a journal of your glazes used and what to did with them like not stirring. The journal will help you in the future. I keep a record on every item I make. It also helps when someone asks for something similar.

I already am wondering how you got the orange and red effect on the eyebrows and forehead. It's beautiful.

MadDogMike does under glaze first. Puts it into water which will show if there are any defects. If there are he adds more under glaze. Then you coat the mug with clear glaze and that seals it in. You just haven't done the last step.

I can tell you have been bitten by the tiki bug. Tiki Farm puts out quality tikis by many talented artists. We have collected many of their mugs.

Enjoy, Wendy

Wendy, I kinda blew it on the notetaking thing! I meant to do that - REALLY meant to do it - but didn't. I can however, still remember most so that will be my job for tomorrow, to write it all down. :)

The orange and yellow things were supposed to be flames but all i did was 3 coats yellow then 2 coats orange on top. I paint like the elementary school teacher I am! And you're quite right, I'm totally bitten. Thanks again for your comments!
