Danno that was sweet!

hang10tiki I'll be posting his payment soon. I like that photo, Dan looks like that a lot.

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

Wish List #6 update. I really don't get every wish just right. I do try.

I finished off the wall plaque with some gloss varnish. I hope it will all hold together. Or she can soak it all off and paint it herself. She is an artist.

For the same lady Barb Lawrence I made a mug that also bombed. She wanted glitter but the color was too green. She wanted brown and red hair but it came out mostly brown and spread the strands too wide.

She wanted waves but these were too thick as well as the wrong colors.

I thought about the type of glaze I had used. It was static. So maybe I could layer another static CN under-glaze over it without it all running to the bottom of the mug. Worth a try. So I painted on 3 layers. Now the mug has six layers of glaze.

First layer on the front.

Third layer all over.

I used another CN glaze to cover the mermaid.

I covered the hair and I'll use enamel after this fires so that it will match the plaque. I wiped the glaze off of the silver glittery stars.

For the thin waves on the back I just scratched them into the glaze.

So the question here is will these close up or stay as I have made them.

Experimenting will pay off or it will also mess up her second wish. I Wish It Will Work.

Cheers, Wendy
