Kelly sent this photo to me. Love it. ================================ I finished glazing the rest of the wedding mugs for Nate Kranda and Shannon. FIred. Scrubbed and rinsed. Some of the new mugs ready to glaze. He requested two in raspberry. This is a hard glaze color to find because just a bit of too much red will throw it off. I choose a Duncan Cover Coat under-glaze and covered the entire outside with it. Next I did the tapa lamp/torch. Backside. I'm always cooking up tikis in the kitchen. There was one mug Nate left up to me to choose the colors. This will be his garage mug. Steel plates in grey with dark silver screws. I did do the eyes in black. These are all wedding mugs. These are the four lamp/torches which are for sale. Also for sale is this morning after Tiki Bob. He ate and drank too much at Tiki Oasis 16 and is saying Whoa is me! This time around I could risk the noses running so all the glazing was done with CN under-glaze which self glosses. It also allowed me to paint on the swords after the fact. So I have extras in case those with names have a problem. He bought these anyway so I hope they turn out. White Cover Coat 2 layers. Drying outside between coats. Clear glaze 3 layers with drying between. The two raspberry mugs had to be completely covered with clear. I sure hope the color is close enough. Final drying before they go into the kiln. Bottom shelf. No crowding since I don't have anything else to fire. Top shelf. These were all starting to cool as we drove off to Tiki Oasis 16. I hope to see many of you in the next three days. We always go home on Sunday to beat the LA traffic. I'm feeling much better now and Dan's OK too. Cheers, Wendy
