That looks really, really good. So does JenTiki's Ken Ruzic bowl. That's a great lampshade that Dan used on the lamp and it looks even better with my pendant hanging on it. :D Now as for the HTHG mugs, having to clean up the outsides of the overpour is the same thing i had/have to deal with on my Bob'O'Nuts. Having the Hula Girls on the inside adds a lot more work for you, or Dan, as the case may be. While JenTiki's suggestion is one option you could try, what i'm thinking is, you could wrap the girls tightly with plastic wrap (I believe you guys call it saran wrap) and tape it down so that no glaze can run up under it when you pour it out, and then after you've removed it you can paint by hand back up to be level with the bowl. Maybe give that a try with just one and see how it goes. Unfortunately, by the very nature of the design you have a lot of extra work per mug regardless of how you go about it. It's just a matter of finding what works the best and takes the least amount of time.
