I'm still glazing away so that I'll fire with a full load. Many projects, some have been glazed and some are in the works. Here's Dan's Bastard Bob. He requests that the black looks as much like the original as possible. So I've chosen Pottery Coat by Mayco. Three layers of Black and white. Simple.

In his new home he didn't have a place for them so Dan was able to purchase them at long last. The Tiki Tony lamp had the base split in two from when the tiki was screwed on. So here are the steps I took to repair it. First I glued these two halves together with wood glue by Elmer's. I used wide tape to keep the halves together as it dried overnight. The next day I filled in the cracks with Elmer's wood filler on the top and on the bottom. I did this again since wood filler shrinks as it dries. I had Dan sand it one both sides and then I found matching paint and I began with the bottom. I did not paint over the autographed for Bullet/kingstiedye on the bottom. I mixed four colors together to come up with one that was similar to the Tiki Tony's color and I painted the top. After this was all dry I sprayed on a matt finish to protect the acrylic paint. All done Dan found a perfect place for it in the jungle room. One more view. Now it's time to turn off the lights. Cheers, Wendy
