LoriLovesTiki you are my only message today, thank you. I'm working on those ladies. I hope to fire this weekend. This is a good one do do with mixing glazes because the women also get a lot of enamel paint and I can then fix attachment messes if they occur.

I went back to Alpha Fired Arts and bought more glaze for the 30 severed heads now that the colors have been finalized. I also found these new colors so I did the glaze tests for them.

Liddle Lola/Darilyn came by to pick up her bar sign. She was in the perfect matching colors to make a great photo.

Progress Report Wish List #3

Sometimes there is a mug that just won't work. This one is for Atomic Chick. All the Mrs. Pac Man's came out just fine but Mr. Pac Man wants to shed his glaze. I used enamel to fix a couple of these areas but then more popped off. So I needed to try a major fix for the 3rd time. First I boiled off the enamel paint.

I wore a silicon glove to hold the super hot mug while I scrubbed off the paint.

Then Dan took it outside and used a wire brush on the whole mug and then rough sandpaper. Hopefully there are no more spots to worry about.

I spent a good part of the day doing all the layering of the colored glazes back on the mug and then this clear.

The rest of the day I worked on the bowl for 19TikiChef62. I put three layers of flesh on the women's bodies and skirt areas.

I filled up the entire bottom of the kiln. Now I need to finish this bowl for the top layer.

Another day of glazing and spending the time with my sweetheart Dan.

Cheers, Wendy
