hang10tiki the work never ends. When I wake up I know it's time to go to work and that's 7 days a week. All my choice. As Tiki Hula says "she loves it".

LoriLovesTiki I love remodels. I hope you also post some photos of your kitchen here for us to view. Best Wishes. I know tile work is very physical. OH, tiles are ceramics that have been glazed. We need to see that for sure!

VampiressRN thank you for all the fun you've shared with us.

AdOrAdam thank you so much for your post. The bank was a tribute to Joniece Frank. On the bottom are Gecko'z MS initials, his real name is Michael Souriolle a specially carved JF for Joniece and my WC for Wendy Cevola. I hope you can read the backside without a problem. The banks made in blue couldn't be read.

I'm very happy to be a part of your collection.

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

I had 9 kickstarter mugs to glaze in clear. I decided that would be just enough to warrant setting up the air compressor to use the spray gun.

Tiki Hula was here for the afternoon so Dan was happy to leave after he set it up and to let Hula help me with carrying and photos.

I purchased a gallon of the best clear glaze available. We both used ear protection. I already wear hearing aids so I have to protect what little hearing I have left.

I sprayed the first layer.

When they were done I let them dry. Yes, years ago I painted those benches. They match the clear glaze we just sprayed on!

Tiki Hula shook up the glaze and loaded the tank.

Layer two.

After three layers were on each mug they went into the kiln.

Dan returned to help with cleanup.

Here's a little joy to share. We had a rainbow during cleanup.

Two of the differently glazed mugs were re-done and put on the top shelf.

I'll be showing the glazed mugs tomorrow when they are out of the kiln.

Cheers, Wendy
