Here are my answers. bavtech I'm finished carving until they dry. Then I'll run a tool through each line to pull out any little clumps of clay that didn't fall out. Sanding and then bisque firing. Glazing comes after all of that. It is a long process. Below are your last two mugs. I'm happy you are happy. little lost tiki I don't know where you find the time to visit my thread. But don't stop, never stop, never ever. The Bobs are fun to do and I never have a plan they just happen. You mentioned the mermaids smile well what I keep thinking of is all your art that puts a smile on my face. I am looking forward to being in the shows with you. My next Spy steps are shown below. hang10tiki good thought. bavtech how about two more? Actually he's taking these to Oasis to sell at his booth. He represents Gecko and lots of artists. It will be fun to see some of my work on sale at the event and I don't have to man a booth. HB Tiki Roge is casting my puffer fish. As soon as he has enough done to make a mold worthwhile I'll go to Grass Valley to pick them up. I plan to make many puffer mugs and bowls in the future. What ever I do I'll post it here. Beachbumz fire and flames. I'll eventually do one with the flames in 3D. I need to check up on your work which is beautiful and perfect. Spiked I think this is your first post on my thread. Welcome and thank you. Please come again. Progress Report: We continue to pour each day for the upcoming 3rd Wish List. That keeps us busy for part of each day. Spy/Tiki painting for Oasis. I'm working on the Spy's shirt and trying to sand a line out of the face. When painting are layered you can get unwelcome lines and bumps where you don't want them. I will continue to sand and paint until the area where the face goes is smooth. Thank you MadDogMike for reminding me to watch out for this problem. I cut out the shirt and used a gold pen to draw it on the canvas. Here I'm sanding out the horizon line that has crossed his face. The shirt and cuffs are close to done. I always keep fine tuning. bavtechs last two mugs. I hope to "read" from you soon, cheers, Wendy
