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. Backsides. Howard Dinits of Maui ordered this Eat Drink and Be Merry Lanai mug altered at the bottom.
========== 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 |
