Wendy - Your customization of the Crazy Al mug is great. It's too funny because I bought one of these same "unglazed" mugs on eBay about 2-3 months ago with the same intention. It's just one of the coolest mugs ever made...Crazy Al is just a crazy good artist that just keeps on getting better and better.

The Hei mug he just rolled out may just be the best mug ever made to this point...well, at least it makes a compelling argument for itself when you see it in person. I am having buyers remorse for not buying the one he had in his hand when I met him. anyways...

The one I am "working on" (which I say loosely because finishing the project hasn't really been a priority to this point) had the same pink color on one side. I ended up doing a coat of brown underglaze over top of the pink color first...then I did two coats of DC bright ginger (interior and exterior) to give it the look of bamboo.

My plan is to paint the outside with enamel and bake it. Maybe your mug will inspire me to finish the project out?
