tikilongbeach Lori, thank you for the tip. You are very nice and I enjoyed meeting you. I do wish I'd gotten a photo.

TikiAno now that was funny. I'm going to leave it. Buzzy said he sold more at Marketplace in 5 hours than in the whole weekend at Oasis. It was good to see he and Christina.
I opened the kiln and there was the glaze test of your present. Thank you it's a fun color.

hang10tiki you are very welcome.

MadDogMike you noticed. Here was our first photo and then we improved it with the fish in the head photo.

I also took this photo of Jungle Ginger and Doug Horne. GROG tweaked it for all of us.

=============================================

Update on the Sacramento Crawl mug.

Opened the kiln, success!

All these yet to do so I

loaded the kiln again.

Success!

So I loaded the kiln

success!

Success close up.

So in went the last load.

Success!

On the way into the house.

It took a week to get them all fired but now I know they are ready for the crawl and we can go phew and wipe our brows.

All total we did 50 of these mugs in brown for the crawl. Dan required 9 in different colors for his work and they are in his collection. I have one for myself and
one AP for hang10tiki and 3 more left to glaze and sell in the future.

So for a total of 64 mugs it took 16 pints of paint. I saved the empties until the end so that I'd know. They are double sized mugs so a regular size mug would have taken half as much.

Into recycle.

It always feels great to get to this stage after so many days of labor. Soon I'll be onto new projects and challenges. Maybe as soon as tomorrow!

Cheers, Wendy
