After seeing this magnificent batch of HTHG mugs on the counter, especially the groups with the faces done, I think this lot is much nicer than the first production run of this casting, Wendy. Really beautiful work!
I would be satisfied to wait to get my Hula Hottie, and pick her up with my TM mug when it's ready as well. If she is not dedicated yet... the taller one that didn't fit uniformly in the kiln, would be my choice, otherwise her topheavy sister, B-)
How would the TM tapa look with medium brown wash-off detail over the tan, instead of using white? Or do you need to do the whole groove detail with a fine brush by hand? I think there will be a more distinct difference between the #1 and my #2 casting by using a darker glaze in the tapa details. Since the patterns on both are so different, I will let you be the judge of the groove color, based on which color requires less effort, Either way I'm happy!
Honestly I am so thrilled that I get one that I have little concern over it's being a duplicate of the #1, and I think it's being "the same only different" is actually even more FUN!
