hang10tiki you just don't know how close your guess is, wait and see.

tigertail7777 I've broken a bowl and Dan has broken a bowl this year in addition to needing to re-glaze or mend. We just keep on trucking while saying "OH WELL".

Beachbumz thanks for the crossed fingers it worked! I'm not keeping you up am I? Your bowl is so thick and heavy that I cover it for most of the time but I let it breath and dry for an hour now and then.

littlegiles I missed the part of when the contest winner will be announced. Thank you I'll hold back for awhile.

There is a little hook on each eye and if you cross them too far they come together and the hooks attach and then your always going to be blurry. I hope my photos are sharp and clear for you. If they are blurry you'll have to visit a un-hooker to get them back to normal.

Progress Report for the Sacramento Crawl mug.

We opened the kiln, yippee they look good. We are so happy.

littlegiles is it blurry?

Backside.

We unload onto trays. We buy these at thrift shops whenever we see them.

Front and back.

8 more to fire after I have enough of the Wish List glazed to fill the kiln.

I like to glaze bottoms too so I have to glaze them on spikes. Some spots of glaze pull off but I touch them up with enamel after we Dremmel them flat. It's lots of extra work but its my preference.

Look Dan's on there. He'll be on all the crawl mugs in future years. I can't do without Dan's strong ARM...hang10tiki.

I hope to have a run of 40 with the extra 4 as test mugs for painting. I'm not matching the menu and matchbook. The mugs will have their own look. The hula girl will have a pretty face and a lei.

Price is $70 plus shipping if you do not attend the crawl.

Back to work, Wendy
