Part III is short, this cold is still taking away my energy.

LoriLovesTiki you mug is done and ready to ship. I'll let you know when it's on the way.

Here are photos of the "fix".

After glazing and firing this Bob needed a face lift.

The only way to "save face" was to cover it completely with white enamel. One layer and then it dried overnight.

The next day I sanded the paint and applied a second layer. Again it dried overnight.

The next day I added a third layer. This time I wanted to have the brush strokes disappear as much as possible. So after the paint was applied I wet my finger and rubbed the paint smooth. This took about 6 times to get the whole area smooth. I painted his mouth and eyes an hour later and one more time he slept overnight. Today he baked in the oven at 325 degrees for 45 minutes to set the paint.

He isn't all glaze with this fix so Lori you will get a very steep discount on your mug and it doesn't fulfil your wish when you see it I'll make it again from scratch.

Now it's time to take this cold to bed. Cheers, Wendy
