Atomic Tiki Punk I fired and then I fired again. The story below.

TikiHula the clear glaze did a new trick. It's an underwater scene and now it has millions of bubbles.
I'm sending my painting to LoriLovesTiki in New Jersey. I have a family tree that starts there in 1720.

hang10tiki one more week before the shock sets in. I'm way into being a senior citizen.

Thank you all for the kind comments about the painting. I tried to add a spaceship and for some reason it looked like a 3 year old painted it. I covered it up. Here's a photo.

I didn't have enough time to do it right. The ship was hauling in another Moai.

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

I opened the kiln and from the top they all looked great.

Then I unloaded the kiln to carry out into the sun and I started seeing problems.

Why did one flower explode off the skirt? Must have been an air bubble behind the glaze?

The teal background was blotchy. Dan liked it because it's sky and water. I didn't like it.

I stopped taking photos and took them into the house to see what I could do to fix the problems.
They are again cooling in the kiln.

Fingers crossed. Wendy
