Zero Tiki and hang10tiki you two guys sure know how to flatter a gal. Thank you both very much.

Progress Report on the Wish List:

The glazing has begun. I will fire a load today. Here's some of the work from yesterday.

Three Bumatay bowls. Two with 4 heads and one with 3 heads. These are for
Psycho Tiki D, Joanne and one on spec.

Making the red runs thicker on Loki Tikis Missionary's Downfall Alter Bowl.

Next up the Tapa Bob for harro in Australia.

harro requested tapaish colors so I picked these under-glazes. They will fire in the colors to the left since I'm putting a clear gloss glaze over them. Leaving something in buff also leaves it open to stains and if left wet for too long the inner glaze can pop off.

So first off I glazed it all in the brown and then I wiped it off leaving it in the depressions.

Then I slowly painted the other colors in all the small areas. Luckily tapa is a very messy rough art so that's how this is painted.

Next up I covered the brown that had been wiped onto the face with 3 layers of white.


Now two layers of clear.


Another one ready to dry and fire.

Diamond Head Bob for Philot

Today I unload the kiln of bisqued pieces and then re-load it with those that have been glaze. Now we are on a roll. Wendy
