Tavarua Tiki I'm so happy to hear you are switching to Brawny it saves me from all my messes. Atomic Tiki Punk Pele has them... Professor G I hope the foliage will turn out well. It is so hard to tell with under glazes exactly what the end product will look like. Murph Dog will make a great addition to your Blue Bob group. Philot when I have an error I don't get upset because I can share it here. My thread is so full of them. I'm glad to know that you and others appreciate learning from them. VampiressRN thank you for your support you are a dear friend. We poured slip into the two molds we made a couple of weeks ago. The molds were dry. One had no leaks and one was super bad. Brawny please. I could see where the problem was when I put it together. I have two ways to fix it. I'll do that in the future. Here's the wish list in the kiln. I'll open the lid tomorrow. I like to glaze the bottoms so every item is on stilts. So the bottoms only have tiny spots that have no glaze. I added a bit of movement to the water in front of the land. I cut part of a spy out of paper to see how he would look in the hut. You'll see him added below. Behind the foliage I painted permanent hooker's green paint that is almost black. Behind larger stones for a black sand beach I paint speckles. So first off I put down newspaper or newsprint roll end paper which is super cheap. then I cover the part of the painting I don't want to get the specks. My tools are stiff brushes, water in a spray bottle to keep the paint thin, paint and one glove to save my hand from major clean up. If you don't have a glove you can use a baggie over your hand and run a piece of tape around your wrist. Put thinned with water paint on the brush and pull back the bristles and let go. Change paint color and do it again and again until the area is covered. All Done. Carefully remove the cover over the rest of the painting. See the spy in the hut? He is watching you. Today I'll work on the foreground of the painting and I'll open the molds to see if I got good casts of the Bobs. I'm starting now because I can wrap them in plastic and hold them until it is time to start the next wish list. Cheers, Wendy
