VampiressRN thank you. Soon I'll start the photos of the Crawl mug in progress.

hang10tiki thank you. He's very thick, if he cracks I'll just say he's a cracked stone mug.

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

On my second day off I took every one of the Hula Girl Hot tubs and moved them to the garage. I left them uncovered for a couple of hours and now they are covered with plastic. I'll do this each day to slowly dry them out.

The other project I did was to do glaze tests on all the new glazes. When I have a load to fire these will go into the kiln as well.

First I label all the bisque test strips. Next I spray them with water to start the capillary action to pull the glaze tight to the bisque. I do this with all my ceramics as I glaze.

Batch one.

Batch two.

Each test has three strips. The first has three layers, the second has two layers and the third has one layer. That's a good amount of information when I choose glazes for my projects.

Tomorrow is Tax day. I hope it goes well. Cheers, Wendy
