hang10tiki You've made my painting so much better. When it's all done It would be wonderful to have it look this way one more time. Dan's going through the music every day. Sometimes when I glaze I listen too.

LoriLovesTiki it sounds like a perfect way to have a vacation. When you finish a project like your kitchen please share.

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

I continue to work each day on Tiki Atari's Horror in Clay project. These are the 1/1's that I have altered for him.

This was the first one I did to make the background different before he gave me a list of his ideas. He did let me choose all the glaze colors but with a focus on the Blue Teal which is his signature color for this creation of his.

Routine. Cover the mug in the Blue Teal.

Wipe it off the raised areas.

Paint each raised area with different colors of underglaze.

All done.

Next up is the Tapa version. Same procedure.

After it was wiped I used a different blue to color the flat areas of tapa.

There has never been a fast way to do these mugs. It is all slow detailed work. I'm doing the last mug today then they will go into the kiln when they are completely dry.

It's in the 80's today and so nice. Cheers, Wendy
