hang10tiki and another...

Holler Waller oh well it was fun to get the 31. The heads are marching along.

Progress Report Severed Heads

Another day another step completed. The steps were these. Use a spray bottle to moisten the inside of the mug so that the capillary action will pull the glaze tighter to the clay. Pour in a hefty amount of glaze. Cover all the interior surface. Pour out the excess then put the head in a plastic container upside down to let the drips stop. See two lined up in this photo.

Take one out and clean up the outside of the head.

Take more glaze on a brush and coat the inner rim three times.

At the end of the day I had all 30 finished.

I'm up early to take a friend to the hospital for a pacemaker upgrade. I'll get back to work when I'm home this afternoon. Dan is taking my car in to get it smogged which seems like another medical procedure. I get to open the kiln and remove the tikis, my favorite surgery!

May you have a healthy day a beating heart and clean air to breath. Cheers, Wendy
