hang10tiki you made my day!

Tiki Ano is being held hostage by Tiki Ari!!!

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

Wish List #5 progress report.

IDoVooDoo you Snake Charmer bowl is ready to fire. I hope you'll like my glaze choices. The one inside the bowl is brand new and it is the first time I've used it.

I choose all the colors for the woman and bowl.

I used a plastic tub to hold the bowl with the woman inside.

I used a darker Caribbean blue for the outside.

Two layers to start.

I wanted to start with the snake. I did the eyes black and then found that I needed help to glaze the snakes belly.

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaan! He held the bowl upside down while I glazes the hard to reach spots.

Now the snake had three layers of red-brown glaze called fireluster.

Now I used a wet brush to scrub around the snake to flatten any fireluster glaze that was on her skin.

First skin layer.

Second and then the third layer.

Rosy pink.

Black Hair.

Inside the bowl is a swampy brown and darker Caribbean blue.

All done on the inside of the bowl.

Now I did the last layer of glaze on the outside of the bowl.

I've finished off the flower in her hair and now she's posing.

Now she'll line up for her turn in the kiln.

It's Friday. I hope you all have a great weekend. Cheers, Wendy
