lunavideogames I once made a tiki with a cat sitting on top as a lid. I'd forgotten about that, it was a wish. Your octopus with Tiki Bob mug is the next thing I will glaze. I may start tonight!

hang10tiki made a video of Dan and I. It's so professional. Tiki Hula put it on U-Tube.

Thank you so much.

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

Wish List #6 I have finished the glaze portion of the Hot Tub Hula Girls. Hopefully they will not need touch up glazing.

Here are a few of the many photos I took during the past few days. The third layer of skin glaze is started.

Skin done nipples added.

The while underglaze is added to the top of the coconuts. 2 layers.

2 layers of clear are painted on. I dry each layer before doing the next. I carried these mugs so many times!

The 3 variation mugs are glazed.

Here are the last 15 with the 3rd layer of skin glaze.

Now I started doing all the nipples and hair touch ups, right after those steps

I did the white under-glaze twice and then

the clear twice.

With many 12 hour work days I finished the glazing portion of the Hot Tub Hula Girl mugs.

Now they need to dry completely.

Then I will fire them. I'm not sure how many will fit in the kiln at a time so it will take awhile.

When they are out of the kiln I still have to paint on all the faces and then bake them in the home oven.

I will make one more batch of 30 this summer at $100 each plus shipping. After those are done the price will raise. These are as much work as a custom wish.

Cheers, Wendy
