lunavideogames thank you so much. It's all a lot of fun. I've been working through the Bob's headed towards some of the most challenging Wishes. Every time I glaze something it firms up in my mind how to do the next one. Glazing is always a challenge.

hang10tiki you guys rock!

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

Wish List #6 continues...

I'm backing up a bit to show the kiln loads.

Filled the bottom level.

After it fired.

Filling the top level.

After it fired.

These were extra Tiki Bob's I did along the way. The purple has sold.
The tall Safari Bob would be $85 but his nose ran a bit so he is also $75, the shorter Maori Mosaic is $75 plus shipping.

Backsides.

Howard Dinits of Maui ordered this Eat Drink and Be Merry Lanai mug altered at the bottom.
The glazing didn't turn out at well as I had hoped so I'll give it another run through. He
went to this restaurant with his parents.

This Wish is based on the logo for a new business owned by Barbara Lawrence.

I'm not sure that the glazing on this mug worked. Her logo is bright. She mentioned sparkles so I used a glitter glaze (you can't tell by the photos) but they are darker than I thought they would be.

Three coats of glaze.

I used the top picture for this mug and for a second project that is a wall plaque.

After the base coat dried I wiped the glaze off of the stars and used a silver sparkle glaze.

I used a fine brush for the hair but doing 3 layers made the strands too thick. I did the body in white but missed shading it.

I also did a few colored stars.

Here it is after firing.

I took it outside into the sun to see if the glitter would show in the photo. Nope.

I found an edge that needs attention when I re-glaze this mug.

Backing up to the glazing of the backside.

I tried for wavy.

Three layers of each and it still came out blotchy.

I will post this on fb for her but I don't think I achieved the right effect. I don't always get it right.

Thank you for the visit. Cheers, Wendy
