Wish List #6 always includes Dan since he works for tikis. This green Maori lamp is for him. It's already been taken to be wired.

Maori Lamp #4.

After the first firing I found a few thin areas. You do 3 layers and sometimes it runs and sometimes it's too thin. You just never know. However that is what happens with glazes. Under-glazes can be applied thicker and they won't run.

So I got out the glaze again and applied one more coat and a little more to the thin areas.

All done and fired the second time.

Remember the volcano bowl that kept having the glaze crack and peel as it dried? The glaze finally stuck and I fired it.

Volcano Island.

There were some glaze skips on the outside. So I re-glazed and fire it a second time.

No skips and the whole bowl is fine. $100 plus shipping if anyone is interested. It is large and heavy.

I'm always happy to post here. Thank you for looking, Wendy
