Hi Friends, today is my birthday and I choose to start it off by posting here. I just have so much fun doing this that why not start the day right.

After a very long and hard journey I have completed the Missionary's Downfall bowl for Psycho Tiki D
He came and picked it up yesterday and we had a fun visit.

I opened the kiln.

The three new glazes look good. Silver sparkles, Pumpkin Orange and pewter.

I found that the hula girls glazing didn't work again. The Concepts under-glazes by Duncan run. These are under-glazes that fire and have a glossy finish without putting on a clear coat. They are an inferior product for detail. I've tried two ways. First by layers and the by scraping off glaze and applying the black and red on the bisque. Both ways ran.

I am going to paint these woman with enamel and make them look good. Same for this bowl.

Norma and I had a fun play day and her two vases are ready to pick up.

I still need to take photos to show my Artist Proof Crawl mugs. I learned some more and I'll share that tomorrow.

May your day be special, I'm going to go find some cake! Wendy
