I decided that Abby's bowl would look better if I outlined the crest with black. All done. Her name had blurred into the yellow paint so I covered the whole area with black. I will then paint her name in red enamel. Same problem with the wand maker words. Where was my brain? Duh I don't know. I glazed the inside of the mug with gloss and then without thinking touched up the face. Horrors. That was the same Walnut but gloss glaze instead of under glaze buff. So now the whole mug needed to have the gloss applied. After this dried I again wiped it off the high surfaces but I forgot to take a photo of that step. After sitting inside for an hour Tiki Hula's Shriner's hat popped off a strip of glaze on the edge. So it was glazed again and put out to dry with all the other mugs that I'd been working on. Backsides of the Zombie Torch mugs. When these were dry I loaded the bottom shelf and then the top shelf of the kiln. Here's a close up of the first test for the Sacramento Crawl mug. Now it's time to get back to fine tuning a Tiki Atari kickstarter mug. It takes one day to do one mug! These are really detailed mugs. He did a great design.
