Has a glaze skip on the inside but I was going to fire again so I should get that taken care of. Need to put a brown wash on one of the tikis and clear glaze on 3 of them. Back to the kiln tonight at Low, change to Med in the morning, then to Hi when I get off work. Turn it off before bed and open Weds morning (one day late) There are 2 others who haven't posted final works yet (I am in contact with them), hopefully the extra day will help them too :) A little history as I remember it. Seems like all the Tikis I saw in the 60s, the background around the features was painted black or burned with a torch. Maybe that was just the Tiki carvers in my area? That's why I have done the "Golden" Tiki that way. But I don't see that much anymore so the "Revival" Tiki will be different.
