LoriLovesTiki you made Bob blush!

TikiAno I put you an the list for a crawl mug. Thank you for all the information. It goes to show that mistakes with ceramics are not all that forgiving. I'm not sure what I'll do next.

Hale Tiki I did a Suffering Bastard Bob for hang10Tiki that had arms and kind of legs. Thanks for the saw information and wish for good luck.

hang10tiki good idea.

Canvas each year tiki homes in our area are open and serving drinks and food according to a schedule. Last year it took 3 days and 404 miles to reach each home. It was so much fun. To commemorate the event I make a mug that has to do with some tiki place in our area. Unfortunately they have all closed down. So far I've done the Zombie Hut/Coral Reef combo mug, Tiki Bobs Sacramento and the Hawaiian Hut. This year will be a better Coral Reef mug because instead of the Mask I'm making one of their Tikis as a mug.

Professor G I'm so glad you are feeling it. I am too. The blue spots hardly show on the photo but the glaze chart says they will be a good blue after firing.

Progress Report Wish List #3.

I've decorated the mugs I've made for my great niece and great nephew. I used French Dimensions. I hope it doesn't run during firing. The bowls I made for them had this product used on a flat surface not a side.

Since I'm doing a Mrs. Pac man for the same person getting this Pac Man I decided to repaint it with the same colors. It's more of a touch up.

Assembly line time. I painted around the faces first.

Then the bodies. This was done three times.

Now I've started the first glaze test on a Severed Head. I'm still taking orders. See page one of this thread if your not sure if your name is on the list.

At the end of the day my table looked like this. I still need to put clear glaze on all the Bob faces when they are done and also the teeth on the Frankoma statue.

Another day of glazing ahead.

Thank you for all the notes, I treasure them, Wendy
