The last time I had a bowl where the glaze kept popping off if was a purple Bob. One day it slipped off the hood of my car and crashed on the ground. Once again I am working on another purple Bob bowl and for the second time glaze has popped off. I am cursed with purple Bob bowl failures. I'm going to keep trying until this bowl cracks or crashes! I like this glaze too. The kiln came open and I found hits and misses. This is the second miss for Professor G's spotted War God statue. Some day I may get this right. Under-glaze is not supposed to move. I am now convinced that the clear glaze is to fault. I had some Bob mouths and eyes move too. Sorry Professor G. I almost forgot. Here's the first shelf when I opened the kiln and the bottom shelf. The next small problem I encountered is a couple of small glaze skips inside the War God bowl I've made for Psycho Tiki D. I'll sand clean and re-glaze these. This is a minor problem that is easy to take care of. Oh shoot I just remembered another problem. 10tikichef62 super hard VolcanoMissionary'sDownfallShrunkenHeadBob didn't come out as hoped for after repairs. I've found out that the rocky glaze is eaten up by existing shiny glaze. So trying to cover the face didn't work out. I've gotten way too much glaze on this one. So 19 I'm going to just use cold paint to finish it up and you may decide if you still would like to own it. So I'll get to work on that part soon. Ok some of the tikis did come out just fine. Here they are... For ebTiki I did a Tiki Central Tapa Bob, a Sheet Metal Bob and a Small Ring Coconut Bob. No problems they all turned out just fine. In those photos you can also see a test I did of the Sacramento Crawl mug in tapa. Dan has grabbed it as his own. Two flame Bob's one flat and one in 3D for Joanne. These are the three whose faces I need to paint eyes and mouth on. A smooth Bob, PacMan Bob for SM Bacon and Pineapple Tall Bob whose pineapple must be cold painted too. Thanks for stopping by and for your votes. Cheers, Wendy [ Edited by: danlovestikis 2012-10-25 17:31 ]
