Philot thank you so much. I was a painter for many years before devoting my time to ceramics. It's helped me in many ways when using glazes. I wish they were as easy as paints.

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

This first mug I'm showing is by RVICTOR. He and I made a deal and I requested to glaze it myself. Now that I've seen his work I should have let him do it. I'm lucky that Dan is really happy with his new Bosko Tribute mug Thank you RVICTOR.

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

Back to the Wish List #5 out of the kiln projects.

First up our friend Joanne asked for a copy of one of the Zombie Village mugs I'd made for Dan.
So I glazed one just the same and then painted the girl in the same colors as Dan's mug.

Next I was asked by Dale, Muskrat and Lloyd Alohahaha to make them each a Sacramento Crawl mug from 2010.

This was the first mold (it's now broken and thrown out) I'd ever owned. It was made by Mike L.. It was also the first mug I'd ever cast and made. Psycho Tiki D asked me to make it and the rest is history. Anyway I always said that I would make some specials from this and now that I've made these and a few for Dan I've ended this run. There are around 60 total.

All the white, red and coral colors are painted on and baked in the home oven to set the paint.

Setting the paint with heat last night.

Next up is Dan's Maori lamp. I used a Duncan flat glaze called Cortyard. It has put a yellow color into all of the indentations. A gloss glaze would have darkened them and shown detail better. However Dan loves this glaze because it makes the lamp look old.

Tyber Tiki what do you think about this glaze? I have other courtyard glazes even a blue and brown. Yours will be glazed when I hear back from you.

I'm interested in hearing how you all think this glaze looks on the Lamp. Thank you, Wendy
