ebtiki you must have a museum of my Bob's by now, I'm very grateful.

hang10tiki we are excited to be there, we'll miss you two.

Professor G I'm so grateful to the chemist who invent these glazes.

TikiAno thank you for the offers. I hope we'll have time to talk at the show. It may be a madhouse.

TikiRootsRocka
I'm enthusiastic over your designs. You are a wonderful tiki artist. See you soon.

Progress Report:

I opened the kiln. Top shelf.

Bottom shelf.

As I unload I check each piece for damage. Everything was fine and I was so happy because a lot of them had thick add ons. Loki Tiki's Santa Bob and the necklaces for the DTB sale. Hale Tiki did you choose your green glaze?

Temple of the Jaguar bowl for Philot.

Bob's for Matt the Cat, VampiressRN, bowl for Dan, Kahaka and Swizzle.

Backsides.

Next up Atomic Tiki Chick, hang10tiki and Marone Tiki's Bob's.

The temperature outside is way too cold to get drenched so we went to Home Depot and bought big tubs to scrub the bisqued ware. Each speck of dust ruins the glaze. So I scrubbed then hit them with the hose but not enough to get drenched. Here's Dan filling the tubs.

I'm scrubbing.

Dan gave me the job of cleaning hang10tiki's Suffering Bob's butt! We have two tubs. After I scrub and hose them off then Dan does a final shake and rinse. My water turned cloudy his did not. That was a good sign.

After the washing I cleaned off a couple of kiln shelves and re-applied Kiln Wash. This has saved a number of shelves and tikis from sticking.

Next I picked out the first wave of glazes for the bisqued ware.

These all had to dry overnight and today I'll start to glaze them. I need to do a load before we leave for the sale.

Thank you thank you thank you all so much for dropping by, Wendy
