Haller Waller its comments like yours that make the time to post worth it, thank you.

Progress Report:

I had no skin left on my fingers from sanding so I covered them with paper tape and started sanding again. This works well and I wish I'd done it before I lost so much skin.

I identified every spot that needed attention and filled them with the magic mend.

I had the two mugs with air bubbles at the top rim and the dents on the bottoms to fix. Paint a thin layer and let it dry and add another. I did this all day.

At 9 PM they were done and dry so it was back in the kiln to fire. This patch will shrink so you need to overfill the areas and then sand again after they are cool.

My order of new glaze colors came in. Only one container was broken. I had a mug to paint this color and since three layers takes this much glaze I used it up.

I did glaze test strips on all the new colors. This is so important and useful for future projects.

Now it was time to start on all of the Bob projects. I poured glaze in the bowl and began to paint.

At the end of the day I had painted 1 layer of white on each of the faces. Can you tell? Each face will need 3 layers of white and the same for black and then it will all be covered with clear glaze. Then I start on the bodies.

Now its time to start the next layer. I'm catching up on old TV shows on tape. I always put a TV with tape player on the kitchen counter when I glaze. You know where I'll be today, where are you??? Cheers, Wendy
