DixonAlibi thank you so much for the photo and information. I wonder if Oceanic Arts made these poles. I printed the photo with your post for Dan's binder.

hang10tiki we love Oregon and seeing my family. We just have too many tikis to move there.

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

I am working on the wedding mugs for Nate and Shannon. Tiki Bob's are a lot of work to glaze.
The glaze sometimes runs off the tip of the nose no matter how careful I am so I'm trying something new.

CN glazes are a self glazing underglaze. It doesn't move when fired. IN glazes move into crevasses and enhance the carving.

I found CN glaze that matched the IN glaze. So I start by glazing the noses and around the face with the CN glaze.

Next I do coat number one all over the rest of the mug. I also used the CN on a back area of one mug where I'll be adding printing.

Fronts done and

then the sides and backs.

Once I had three layers done I did the black part of the face.

This blank area is where I also used the CN glaze. That allows me to

paint in the lettering to personalize this mug.

Even with all of this these mugs are not done.

Cheers, Wendy
