This it the project for Tiki Atari's kickstarter. He designed this mug and did a 3D cast. I made a mold and cast the mugs. Now after finishing the first set of 12 I am working on the specials. This first mug is 6/6 for a topless version. Here is how I'm glazing it. Scary part is that all the colors will change in the kiln so I don't know until it fires if it will be as good as I hope. Tiki Atari decided that he wanted the inside of the mug to match the hula girls skirt. These are two types of glazes so I worked to pair them up. I started by doing the inside and bottoms of each mug. I then used the teal blue to cover the background of the mugs. This is a very complicated mug to glaze. All done. Think of this, it had to be done three times for each mug. It would be so nice if glaze only took one layer. Next I brought in all the underglazes that will not travel from where I paint them on. Regular glaze moves as it fires. I started with the letters. I am also using the glaze to build a letter that Tiki Atari and I missed on the mug due to a mold line. There is so much detail to paint over and over again. I don't know if the black will show through once the mug is fired. An underglaze such as black will show through a glaze that covers it but I think the layers of the next color will hide this black. So it's an experiment. With the layers being repeated three times it has taken me one day to glaze the outside of this one mug. ====================================================================== Here is how he has displayed these photos on his kickstarter page. https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/104119888491198424312/albums/6029270892615853617 Cheers, Wendy [ Edited by: danlovestikis 2014-06-27 09:28 ]
