WestADad we hope to ship out the Bumatay today. Please post a photo like Tavarua Tiki's when it arrives.

hang10tiki I hope you and everyone who watches the painting will point out anything that doesn't look right as I progress. I'm always learning as I go.

MadDogMike weird, I had an idea for a pineapple in my painting, we'll see. I tried to get some paper clay but it was all high fire and came in 50 pound bags. The shop said that the Magic Mend is a low fire liquid version. So I'm mounding it on the cracks and as it dries I mush it into them and add more. It's looking good so far but firing will tell the whole story.

Tavarua Tiki thank you so much. Tropical setting, cute guy, my art. Its a perfect photo.

KittyKat65, the year you graduated high school? Or the year you were born? I'm always curious about numbers. Welcome. I hope to see you here often. 2 hours? I'm honored.

Now its time to update the Wish List:

I glazed all day and here's how much was done. Some will require cold paint after firing to highlight areas or to add detail such as eyes and mouth on Bob.

Tavarua Tiki's Creature From The Bob Lagoon. I hope one day that glazing will require 1 layer instead of three. Yep that red glaze turns green.

Spotted glaze on Doug Horne's puffer fish, Bob's face and the interior of the mug.

Volcano/Pele/Fire mug for the swap that MadDogMike is running this year.


Drying. She will not be smiling by the time she is finished with the cold paint.

Tonga Tiki's Missionary's Downfall bowl and the woman who caused it. He wanted the inside of the bowl to match her dress. It is a nicely spotted glaze called Honeysuckle.

The gray glaze has been discontinued. It is very much like rough lava when fired. When I run out there will be no more. I have it in four colors, this black/grey, light browns and even a blue.

Rock Solid Bob in Royal Blue. So this mug will make Murph Dog a member of the Blue Bob Group. I haven't started the face yet.

BaconSM's Pac Man Bob. I'm doing the entire outside of the mug in underglaze. I will see if I can do all the colors this way. If not I'll just add cold paint after firing. No next up with this mug is to paint everything on the game board in blue, white, pink, orange etc.

I will paint all day today and post more photos tomorrow.

Thank you for the 864 views yesterday. That was a real fun surprise. Oh, I forgot to subtract my 850 views. Still a very good day. I'm having so much fun. I hope you are too, Wendy
