hang10tiki did you mean the Cevola jungle? I see your Cevola cornor and it makes me blush. Thank you for those photos and your friendship.

IDoVoodoo June it is. We can figure it out when it's closer. Wood Tiki and Vance Klinke will come to pick up their wishes too.

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

I found a lost photo of IDoVooDoo's bowl, Dan's Hula Girl Hot Tub and Professor G's fogcutter mugs baking in the oven after painting them with Liquitex Glossies an enamel paint. This paint can't tolerate hot water or scrubbing but cold water washing with something soft works.

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

Working for a couple of days on the Hula Girl Hot Tubs

Six to glaze for this Wish List #5 after that they can be ordered on Wish List #6.

First, not shown is that I sprayed water inside the coconut to prevent too much glaze from sticking. I then filled the coconut with glaze and let it sit for 10 seconds.

Pouring it out mad a huge mess all over the girls and the coconut.

All 6 done and waiting for the next step.

I put Dan to work scrubbing the outside of the coconuts and the top rim. He used a stiff brush and a washcloth. It took hours to clean these. Someone know a faster way?

He listened to music while he worked and he got them all done.

I used several kinds of brushes to remove the glaze from the top part of the girls.

Hours later they were done and got to sit overnight.

The next day I did three layers of flesh color on each girl

and then let them dry.

Then I did the tips of the n...!

Black hair came next.

This shows one layer of three.

By nighttime the hair was done and

so were the flowers.

These are a hard project to glaze but I'm so happy with how they turn out.

Cheers, Wendy
