hang10tiki Dan gets to be boss this whole month. Those salt and peppers are easy to find in the shorter version. It really was a thrill to find the tall ones in the midst of regular antiques. I hope you find a Tiki Magazine. I can relax and retire now...NOT!

Wish List #6 is back in full swing as I glaze away.

I decided to do the Frankoma bowls next because I could fill up the kiln faster and fire sooner.

This one is the Wish of Atomic Chick and is all done in Espresso Brown. It takes a day to do two bowls because every step is done three times and I let each layer dry before I do the next. So I do a step on one bowl and then a step on the other bowl. Back and forth.

Now onto the bowl for a fb friend James M. Jr. His bowl is Espresso Brown inside the bowl and Sunset Red on the outside. The Frankoma colors died in the fire and the formulas that were in Donna's mind left her many years ago.

If glaze runs into areas you don't want it to be in use a stiff brush and water to wash it off. Then cover it with the new glaze.

To add a different color it helps to position the piece so the glaze can't run.

So I can push glaze with a brush up to the other color and it stays there.

Dan coming back from our "fixed" mail box.

I had a surprise to find one of my paintings at the bottom of the index page.

I hope you all have a copy of Tiki Magazine. The article about me is out and it's a dream come true. So please comment if you read it. There are so many wonderful articles in these magazines that every tiki person should have a subscription.

I'm waiting for Psycho Tiki D and Tiki Hula to come over to see what they created. Thank you two so much.
