So many steps but you can already tell how beautiful they are going to be. I forsee problems in the future with that blue crystal glaze. I'm not psychic or anything, just noticed you mentioned that glaze a few times with this mug. :) Just a technical question about applying the glaze. Is the problem putting the glaze on in thin lines a brush problem, or is the glaze just so thick it won't lay down in a thin line? Believe it or not, when I was doing porcelain dollhouse dolls, i used to apply china paint to the porcelain using a cat whisker. Nothing better for painting tiny lines and eyelashes. Probably also why I'm not practically blind and wear reading glasses. LOL Love the progress photos. This is a very exciting project to follow. Dale
