lunavideogames me too, thank you. The kiln is cooling. I'm not going to open it until the temperature outside is equal to or greater than the temperature inside the kiln. I'm giving the L's their best chance of survival.

KrakenHunterSteve it's really fun to meet you. I don't know any of the other recipients of these mugs. I hope you'll let us all know which one you get and if you are able to print a photo of where it will sit on your shelf.

These were the most complicated mugs to mold, clean and to glaze that I've ever worked on. I would say that part of that comes from the original being from a 3D printer rather than from a sculptor. It is a fantastic mug by Tiki Atari.

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

Only one day left to finish the Alien Swap art. So while the kiln cools I'm painting.
Here's the work from yesterday.

My Alien Astronaut likes to bring home a few souvenirs from his travels.

Close up of Mr. Bali Hai.

He also visited Easter Island.

My trick to get the proportions right is to print the photo in the right size and cut out the image to be used.

I used a silver pen to outline the Moai.

Now it's ready to paint.

Now it's time to spend the day painting so it can go into the frame from shipping to my Swap partner.

Cheers, Wendy
