hang10tiki yet?

IDoVoodoo your project gets closer by the day. I'm getting a lot of practice first. We miss you too.

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

Wish List #6 continues. This time I've glazed a mug for the wife of Woody Miller. She went to the Lanai in San Mateo when she was young and has fond memories. Now she'll have a mug to hold as she remembers.

They chose a color I'd never used before. I bought a pint, did a glaze test and then glazed the mug with Spotted Kiwi.

I poured the entire jar into the mug to glaze the insides. I counted to ten and then poured it back out.

Once the inside was dry I started on the tikis. I painted over the detail carving with a dark caramel.

Once I did the tikis I let them dry.

I took a wet cloth and wiped off all the excess glaze.

Now I did the first layer of Kiwi.

Next I painted a light caramel color over each tiki.

After the first layer dried I did the second layer.

When that one dried I did the third. During this layer I made sure that crystals were placed in good areas for effect.

Done and drying. I hope the darker caramel will show through when the mug is fired.

Cheers, Wendy
