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

I'm so glad that my new style of mug is well received. Because guess what I did a HUGE bowl the same way.

I took the HUGE bowl that had been bisque fired and

completely drenched it with water inside and out. This does two things. It starts capillary action to make the glaze stick better but

it also makes just the right amount of crystals stick. Otherwise it would take a whole jar of glaze just for the inside and then in the kiln it would all run down to the bottom.

I used a wet paper towel to wipe off the glaze that got on the outside.

I flipped it over and glazed the bottom

because it looks much nicer when that is done.

The bottom and now the outside of the bowl are done with Duncan CN glaze.

I put it outside between layers.

For this bowl I did four layers of the CN glaze.

Using an underglaze pencil I sketched out tikis all the way around the bowl. This guy is the front of the bowl.

I hope this goes as well as the mugs have gone. Cheers, Wendy
