I would think after all these posts without a comment that I was posting just for the pleasure of posting except for the number of views that I watch going up each day. I'm very excited to be nearing three million. Meanwhile here are some catch up photos. We shop at the Cancer Society Thrift store and we hit the jackpot. More tikis on this shirt than on any other that Dan owns. He won't wear it until winter when it's cool weather. There was a sale going on at Uline where I get my boxes. So I ordered them for the crawl mugs and the batch of Hot Tub Hula Girl mugs. I saw this stack and I said to Dan wow that's a big storage problem. He said you are only looking at the first part of your order. Oh well I'll throw a table cloth over them and have two more tables. ======================================= The time had come when I had to glaze the HUGE Tiki Bob Hula Girl Bowl for Owen Wright. This is going to be one heck of a project. These are some of my instruction pages. I scanned them and asked questions until what he wanted was finalized. I got out what I thought were all the glazes that I would need for this bowl but I actually am missing a few in this photo. The first step was going to be very tricky so I wrapped the bowl up in plastic wrap in case I bumped a side or it dripped. The area I am glazing is under the flowing hair. I put glaze on my finger so I could feel where it was going. I needed to avoid getting any on her back and that was going to be tricky. I did it from underneath while the bowl was upright but I couldn't know it it was going into all the small areas so I did it upside down with glaze being able to run into all those areas. Next I glazed the bottom of the bowl and the bottoms of the Tiki Bobs. I did my best to use glaze to paint all these words. I hope he's OK with the size. Now it will dry before I continue. I hope you are all out having a fun time. I'm ready for a book and bed. Cheers, Wendy [ Edited by: danlovestikis 2016-07-16 20:45 ]

The time had come when I had to glaze the HUGE Tiki Bob Hula Girl Bowl for Owen Wright. This is going to be one heck of a project.

These are some of my instruction pages. I scanned them and asked questions until what he wanted was finalized.

I got out what I thought were all the glazes that I would need for this bowl but I actually am missing a few in this photo.

The first step was going to be very tricky so I wrapped the bowl up in plastic wrap in case I bumped a side or it dripped.

The area I am glazing is under the flowing hair. I put glaze on my finger so I could feel where it was going. I needed to avoid getting any on her back and that was going to be tricky.

I did it from underneath while the bowl was upright but I couldn't know it it was going into all the small areas so I did it upside down with glaze being able to run into all those areas.

Next I glazed the bottom of the bowl

and the bottoms of the Tiki Bobs.

I did my best to use glaze to paint all these words. I hope he's OK with the size.

Now it will dry before I continue.

I hope you are all out having a fun time. I'm ready for a book and bed. Cheers, Wendy
