Dale, Tiger, Jon, Wendy, Eric, Dave & Lance - thank you very much :)

After a long, slow drying period John Frum survived firing :D He has some cracks on the inside where the bottom joins the sides but they are not structural and the glaze will help cover them. One of the dogtag chain beads got lost during drying, I replaced it with some paperclay and Magic Mender. Next to start glazing.

I need one more Lil Loser to complete my set ~ I think I'll do Hippolyta, queen of the Amazons. With flowers in her hair and maybe big red lips.

Working on a couple more projects for the Headhunter Harbor. First is going to be a mosaic table. He's a cute little guy I nabbed from the internet.



It will dry weighted between 2 pieces of plasterboard so that hopefully it dries without warping.

The second project is something new for me. I bought some decal sheets that are fired on to glazed ceramic. You print them in laser printer, the toner contains iron oxide which fuses with the glaze and makes a sepia colored image. The plan is to put them on some dollar store plates. $30 for 10 sheets is $3 per sheet, but I was able to print 15 decals on a sheet so that's not bad.

I will keep you posted on results
