Since the tikis and the bowl are different colors I used a squeeze bottle to try to keep the colors separate. It's not perfect because these tikis are so close to the bowl but I did my best. The inside has Firecracker on the bottom of the bowl and at the top. In between these two layers is Wildfire. I recently found that some glazes do not blend as they melt so I've done some blending of these two colors with a brush. After the inside was done 3 times I added the Alligator glaze to the top rim. It takes a very long time to glaze so I watched my guilty pleasure The Housewives of New Jersey. They argued through 5 episodes! Dan's so glad to disappear into his tiki man cave when I put this trash on. WOW !!! Wendy, fantastic work as always. Is that a brush or a syringe head on that bottle? I'm loving how you're forcing the blending of the 2 glazes inside the bowl, I'm so very excited to see the results when the kiln is opened. It seems as if I'm enabling your guilty pleasure for trash TV via my guilty pleasure of Tiki art.
