JenTiki terrific. I need you to PM your email address and shipping address so we can get this shipped soon.

hang10tiki I have a lot of work yet to do on all those mugs and it should be lots of fun.

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

Progress Report #5

The last mug to glaze is Rasta Bob for Tiki Wahini. I wanted something difficult to close the this run of Wishes.

I started with the inside of the knitted Bob Marley cap.

I removed my finger and let it drain back into the jar.

I painted the face and the red on the cap.

Next the dreds got 3 layers of glaze.

Then two layers of clear on the face.

Now it was time to glaze behind the guitar.

First layer of yellow on the tapa body.

Next the cap was finished with the classic Marley yellow and green.

Time to add glaze to all the carved tapa designs plus the Maryjane design.

All done and posing.

I put him out in the 90 degree sun to dry so I could put him in the kiln to fire.

The Wish List is finished being glazed and every piece fit into the kiln. They completed firing this morning at 9 am. Hopefully they will be cooled by tomorrow evening so I can open the kiln. There's always a chance of glaze skips so there might be needed tune ups. So today I will start glazing the Hula Girl Hot Tubs so I can fill the kiln if touch ups are needed.

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

lunavideogames here are more photos of the Spaceship in progress.

I started out with an idea of what I wanted to accomplish. I cast two bowls.

I trimmed the edges flat and added a whole bunch of sticky clay.

I flipped one over and stuck them together.

I cleaned up the outside.

Next I cut out the center of the top bowl and cleaned up this sticky clay you can see on the inside.

Then I cut some more clay from around the top edge.

I pressed it into this shape as Dan walked up to the table. "Why are you making a bedpan?" he asked.

Stay tuned to see if I can fix this design!!! Wendy
