TikiAno I'm smiling at your comment.

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

Wish List #6 while the kiln cools I'm working on new WL projects.

This Lanai mug is for Howard Dinits in Maui Hawaii. He went to this place as a child with his parents.

I'm trying to do a mug very similar to the original. As per his request I changed my words for Lanai, San Mateo, CA.

I choose all the glazes that were close to the original.

I started by filling in the words with a darker caramel color.

I let it dry and then I wiped off the excess.

Then I filled in the detail on the tikis.

Then I wiped off the excess on all three of them.

Next I covered the entire mug with a yellow gold glaze.

Then I cleaned off much of the glaze on the tikis because they are close to white on the original.

The last step was to cover the tikis with 2 layers of clear.

I didn't use underglaze on this mug because it doesn't accent the detail. I used IN glazes which fill in and darken in the indented areas.

I hope this works. Once you are committed to glazing the piece there's no going back!

Cheers, Wendy
