Hello Everyone, I've been busy working on the Tiki Atari Kickstarter mugs. This is one project that keeps on going and going. I am hopefully at the end in the next few weeks.

When they came out of the kiln they needed more glaze on some parts of the mugs. So here's an example.

After I touched them all up they went back into the kiln a third time.

When using under-glaze it's hard to tell if the three layers were put on just right or not. That's why I did the first firing and then dunked them in water. While they looked perfect at that time the clear glaze changed everything. So now I'm hand painting each mug with bake on enamel to make each one as good as I possible can.

This photo just shows how I'm mixing paints to add to the mug. These mugs will need to be kept away from hot water. They need TLC like my Zombie Torch mug.

Hopefully I can finish these by tomorrow night and then back the next day.

I hope your weekend was fun. Cheers, Wendy
