hang10tiki the sign is a lot of work but I think every piece I make is a lot of work. Keeps me out of trouble. I like your rhymes.

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

Wish List #6 update. I've started to glaze lunavideogames octopus who grabbed a Tiki Bob mug.

I was able to find glazes that worked well with each other.

I first glazed the inside of Tiki Bob with a CN glaze.

Then I used the same one on the outside. It is called Bright Ginger and is a favorite color of mine.

This mug is crazy with so many nooks and crannies. It also has many tight areas that are hard to reach.

Next I did the insides of each of the

suckers one at

a time. This was the easiest step but there were many of them.

Next I started on the octopus.

I did all the flat surfaces of

the octopus first and

did one layer all over him. I just bought a sturdy metal typewriter table. It's strong enough that I can stack my turntables so that I can glaze at eye level and save my back and neck.

Now I started around each of the suckers.

I used a tiny brush for this step.

One layer down and two layers to go and then the rest of the "parts".

On Tiki Bob he's supposed to look old so he just gets some of the second and third layers placed here and there.

Cheers, Wendy
