littlegiles and it is so much fun. I hope Dan's bowl turns out. I'm just learning how to use that glaze.

TikiHula your wish is granted, see below.

DooWop you saw the look in my eyes didn't you?

Tikiwahini Dan tells me I squeal like a little pig. I'm glad I'm not alone. I liked picturing that.

LoriLovesTiki its so much fun.

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

It has taken four kiln loads to fire glaze onto all of the Wish List projects. Some items had to be glazed four times to make them come out just right.

Here is what happened with the first load.

Top shelf of the kiln.

The first out is Volcano Bob for Mondo-by-the-bay. This rocky black glaze with red lava always has to be glazed twice. The red as it cools contracts and pulls some black up and off the ceramic. It's an easy fix.

Tiki Hula glazed this Zombie Torch mug and the glaze came out too thin. It will need another coat.

Hello Kitty for WaikikianMoeKele had no problems.

THe King's Goblet for Mondo-by-the-bay had no problems and my new lava technique worked out, I'm so happy.

Suffering Bastard Bob (idea by MP who allowed me to make a few) for ebtiki has no problems.

MaukaHale your Tapa Bob is also finished.

Mondo-by-the-bay your Tapa Bob is done. Up close it looks even better.

Mondo-by-the-bay your Bumatay with fins bowl is finished.

Bottom shelf to be unloaded.

hang10tiki your wish that turned into a prize is not finished. Front

and backside ok but a bit dull.

The inside had glaze skips that I will repair. One looks like a crack but it's just a thin line of glaze.

Mondo-by-the-bay you Drunken Bamboo Bob is complete.

Chippy your Maori Bob turned out really well. I did a very thick layer of white and it didn't move so it's rounded and has a great feel.

Moai Mike your super heavy mug needs a tune up.

I'll be putting more glaze on the Moai and turning the candy looking words more grey to blend in better.

Here's the inside color.

I have to take a break right before Tiki Hula takes his out. We are running over to kingstiedyes to return a bowl.
See you later, Wendy
