Thanks Mike. I'm pretty happy to have the kiln finally running. I'm glad you like the bulls, i'm very happy with them. When i glazed the first one i was expecting the crystal glazes to move myself so i was quite surprised when they didn't. As the first one came out perfectly like i was hoping i decided to try something different with the second one. Although the pinkish colour glaze didn't move i wasn't sure how the blue and purple ones would behave and it was the blue one i was most concerned about, so i was extremely happy and surprised when i opened the kiln.

And i'm actually quite enjoying my summer because it hasn't really been hot yet. When it does start warming up i'll be wishing i was with you where it is cooler.

Hi Wendy. Unfortunately i never think to take progress shots as i'm doing things so i cant show you how i did the bull, but yes, i did use tape. I masked it off with the tape that airbrush artists use to outline flames when they spraypaint hot-rods.
