TikiAno is this Maui? I can't tell from the photos. I love knowing you are someplace warm and enchanting.

LoriLovesTiki thank you for posting here and on facebook. I smile when I see my friends names pop up.

amate a thrill and a scary time. There are disappointments in ceramics but the successes overwhelm them. Thank you for the message.

hang10tiki what a wonderful winter for the west coast and a horror for the east coast. Let's hope that Hawaii stays a wonderful place for hundreds of years. I want the Coco Palms rebuilt.

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

The Wish List #6 reveal continues. I put up more photos than necessary because this is my "cloud". If my computer is every lost then I can come here to retrieve photos that are important to me.

Out of the kiln I saw that when I covered the regular green/brown glaze the clear made it come out green.

Here's what it would have looked like.

Black Velvet front and

back.

I made this mug for my nephew as a thank you gift for a glass necklace he made for me. He is a glass artist. His initials are BMW so I put that twice on the mug.

Each line has a

different

pattern. I love this glaze.

Remember the huge missing chunk on Savage Tikis mug. I used Magic mend to re-build the area. It worked and using this spotted glaze kept it from showing up.

I made a replacement mug for Savage Tiki, he lost so much in the Napa Earthquake that making some good memories for him was important. The brown one is for him and it will have the same number as the one that broke.

Dan works for tikis and he took this one.

Savage Tiki come and get it!

This is the mug I've made for the Season's of Tiki Swap. Mine is the Season of Love since we swap in February.

It's a valentine space man or woman, I can't tell.

I made these Frankoma tiki wall disks out of left over parts from the Wish List. Dan has taken all four because he found a place in our home that needed them. I'll share that when they are hung.

Brown.

Caribbean Blue.

Lava Black which is a discontinued glaze because it has problems.

I'll just add more glaze and fire again until it sticks.

Red Sprinkles underglaze had problems too. It pulled back as if the disc was covered with dust. Maybe I forgot to wash this one?

I've been waiting to use a ceramic stain. This one is black. I soaked it into all the "skipped" places

and then all over the rest of the disk.

Once it dried I wiped off the excess. Today I will spray a ceramic fix over it to make it permanent.

This is us for sure. 2N this is a Duncan IN glaze called Expresso. A very good common tiki glaze. IN glazes accumulate and highlight the carving. It does look like your transparent glaze.

Backing up to show when all of these were removed from the kiln.

Bullet aka kingstiedye here's your mug.

I glued the tip onto the staff and then painted it with acrylic paint and then sprayed it with a matte fix.

It didn't really darken up when it fired. Come and see it. I didn't glue the staff into place in case you would like to have it clear glazed with a matte clear (which could look glossy).

Whew, that's it for today. I hope you enjoyed the photos. Now it's back to work, Wendy
