I like them too but we didn't have them when I was a kid. hang10tiki I sure wish this problem would go away. Two computers now and no change. My old computer with Windows XP was fine. Window 8 just doesn't work for tall photos. Thank you for the fix. hang10tiki I would love to go to a party like that. It would be very flattering. Maybe one day. I've saved the photos in my Photoshop file so that I won't lose track of them. Thank you so much, that was fun. =================================================================================== Even the making of the Tiki Bob necklaces has a lot of steps. Out of the kiln they are carried to the garage. Dan puts on his mask and dremmels down all the sharp spots on the back from the spikes that held them as they fired. I noticed that the glaze didn't retain a sharp edge and blended with the white so I took them all upstairs to paint them with Liquitex Glossies. I pour it in and then move the paint around until the entire area is covered with a thick layer. A few hours later they are all done and drying. The instructions say wait 24 hours then bake in the oven. I should have waited more days. Horrors, the paint was not dry and it boiled. So now 2/3rds of the necklaces need to be sanded and painted again. I hope to get to that project today. ==================================================================== Now it was time to finish off the Hula Woman. When she came out of the kiln she had 2 small specks of black on one knee. Sometimes the glazes with crystals can spit. It hit her knee. So I turned them into a few flower tattoos. Next I started on her face. Then I aged her skirt. All done she dried overnight and then baked in the house oven. Now for her black velvet photo shoot. It didn't take long for my "will work for tikis" husband to run off with her. This bowl I made a while back and it disappeared into the tiki jungle room too. ==================================================================== That's it for today. I'm off to the garage to keep on playing with clay. Check out Tiki Toni's thread. She lives near me and soon she'll be here for a visit. http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=46443&forum=18&8 Cheers, Wendy PS hang10tiki you get a hug for all the fun you bring to this thread [ Edited by: danlovestikis 2013-11-14 09:12 ]
