Alii Tiki got your message I hope to glaze yours today.
VampiressRN so right you are. We loved Marks place. We had to take Aquaticsafarinaut in our car or even with GPS and MapQuest we would have been lost.
Beachbumz you'll see below why this glaze has been discontinued. It always does this and I always need to glaze twice or more. It's worth it. When I run out it is gone forever!

I'm so sorry, no more days off for me I just can't do that to a friend. Guess what your prize just needs sanding and then its on its way to you.

We opened the kiln and right off I could spot problems and successes.

The bottom shelf had the rest of the crawl mugs and

Eric Octobers bowl that I've been trying to repair.

This glaze is so amazing. I've never used it on a large surface before.

The bowl did have one glaze skip on the rim. I'm going to re-glaze this spot.

The huge chip is still firmly in place but still shows. I'll add more glaze here and see if it will blend in a bit more.

The only glazing defects for the crawl mugs have been 2 with a small dip in the rim glaze. I'll touch those two up and they'll all be good to go.

The reason this black lava glaze has been discontinued is that it doesn't stick well. Each time I use it I have to wire brush off any part that didn't stick and then re-glaze. But I know this happens so its not a shock. When I'm all done it will look terrific. Marone Tiki it has a ways to go.

Dan is in love with the crawl mug glaze so he requested I do the mix again for his peanut bowl. No skips.

Of the two small Bobs in front one is hang10tikis the next is ebTikis then Steve Soto's. The Bob holding tiny Bob needs enamel work. This bluegrass glaze ends to run and it did it here. I'll be painting and baking this one. The last of the back row is Sombrero or South of the Border Bob for Sandy, see below. The two in front are for tigertail7777 and littlegiles. I just need to add strings and off they go.

Corona Countess's/Sandy's hat needs decoration and then its done.

Glazing is unpredictable at times. You just go with it and keep working. Disappointment is not allowed but getting back to work is so that's what I'll do today.

I still plan to share photos of the South San Francisco Bay Crawl, maybe later tonight. Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate you all very much.

hang10tiki I forgot to take a photo of the back of your small Bob. I'll do it I promise. Cheers, Wendy
