TikiHula I owe you a puffer from the contest you won so long ago. I finally made enough that you can choose from them. I'm so glad that the bowl turned out well that the comments here are good ones. Thank you. LoriLovesTiki having a crawl is the highlight of the year here in our area. We have also done Tiki Tuesdays where we would meet up once a month at a restaurant. It's great to connect with friends who enjoy tiki. I'm thrilled with the centerfold! I love saying I (leaving Dan out of the statement) am a centerfold model (thank you Tiki Hula). Atomic Tiki Punk I'm so glad. I'm going to glaze the entire table of tikis and I'm starting again. I need to fill that kiln to fire. I need GROG to come and glaze for me! ===================================================================== Last night Dan and I went to my 45th High School Reunion. We sat with my friend Eric and his wife Sue who was Dan's friend in a different high school. Our friends married and for a time we lived next door to them. We bought $10 worth of raffle tickets and very few attendees did, lucky us we won three great prizes! ====================================================================== Another step for the crawl mugs is to make a signature card. I can't seem to get the gold highlights to show up in the photos. I may just go with a card with the mug before I enhanced it. ====================================================================== Now that the kiln is waiting for the next load I'm back to glazing again. This is Slow Poke Bob. Somehow I made an alien snail. After I glazed the insides I let it sit upside down to have the extra run out. Since the surface is clean I was able to use this brush to pick up the glaze and to put it back into the jar. I did the face in underglaze and then coated it with clear. He looks happy. Three times I did this glazing. Next is a Tiki Bob coconut bowl. The inside and lip is glazed to be white. First layer done and I'm letting it dry before I do the rest. It's fun to be home. As soon as Dan unwraps his tiki treasures and I take photos I'll post our trip. Cheers, Wendy [ Edited by: danlovestikis 2014-09-07 08:55 ] |
