I have two tables covered in these mugs. I picked up two for the photo yesterday. Did I notice that Sacramento was spelled wrong on my selection, nope. Thank you secret friend for letting me know. This morning I did the flash light check and there was only one mug spelled incorrectly. That one will become my personal mug. I had 37 mugs to choose from and by choosing this one it was prevented from being sold to an unsuspecting person. This happened when I fine tuned the lettering on each mug. Molds are never perfect and it took an hour to clean each one and to add all the grooves. Somehow I fine tuned an N into a M. Dan put on some fun music and sanded all the bottoms of the mugs for me. All the spike bumps are now smooth. I had prepared to glaze a week ago and today I started. I've done the first step to paint the bodies on the WaikikianMoeKele, hang10tikis, littlegiles, tigertail777, ebTiki, Steve Soto, and Corona Contessa's Bobs. Dan likes to be rewarded for his work so I also painted the Eric October bowl that I've been trying to repair. I poured in a jar of glaze covered the surface, removed the excess and then painted the bottom. The bottom shelf of the kiln is filled. My goal is to do enough glazing today to fill the top level. Each of the Bob faces need three layers of white and black and then 2 layers of clear. Then I'll move on to the next mug. Once my kiln is firing I'll hand paint the enhancements on a crawl mug so everyone can see how the final product will look. Thank you always for your time and notes. You all make my day special, Wendy [ Edited by: danlovestikis 2012-09-20 07:42 ] [ Edited by: danlovestikis 2012-09-20 07:43 ]
