More progress on glazing this morning...

john - these are just the underglaze. I am still planning on doing red letters on the back. Of course, the colors you see now are not exactly what the final product will be. I checked the colors using a photo of Fred Flintstone when I went to buy the glazes, so the final product was based on the test tiles. Once the underglaze gets fired, I will take more photos and let you see what the underglaze looks fired. It should be much lighter color. I am planning on firing to the lower range of the glaze recommendation to see if it keeps much of it's vibrant appearance as I can.

Once the underglaze has been fired, we will have a few decisions to make...like choosing if you would like a black wipe off effect (similar to the Bosko tribute mug), keep it the color of the fired underglazes, just do a clear coat, do a wipeoff and then the clear coat, etc. Any way we look at it, the interior is going to have to have a clear coat for holding drinks. I can also "do my thing" if you want. We can cross that bridge when we get there but I just wanted to give you the options and let you think about it. Again, once it's done...You still have the option on passing on the final product.
