Three of them were glazed in Mystic Blue and are similar to other ones I've shown, but I thought I would share a picture of how the nude pin-up ashtray turned out. I used a "Rust" matte glaze for the rocks and a wipe-away "Mahogany" on the pin-up. The water is "Mystic Blue" and it really pops out from the other matte glazes. When you see it in person with the reflection off the blue, it looks even better than the photo. Measures 9" square and the nude is about 4.5" long. I will definitely make some more of these. I may do a "Pele" version with matte black rocks and a bunch of flowing lava rivers springing forth from a reddish-colored nude at the top and pooling into a red/yellow/orange swirl below.
