hang10tiki it was 109 in Elk Grove yesterday and we are NOT in the desert. Not fair at all.

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

These glazing photos were taken 4/0/17 to 5/18/17.

I only had one mug that cracked. It split all the way down. Must have been an air bubble.

All of the Disney mugs had glaze creep at the bottom. It was the hardest area for me to scrap the bad glaze off of so

now I scrubbed them again with the sponge on the long stick and glazed them again.

Since I wanted to get the Disney mugs and the last AP's of the crawl mugs done I glazed other things that were ready. Dan's lamp was first.

I did necklaces in three different glazes.

Here's one I did with two glazes.

Then a hanging lamp.

Summer heat is great for drying mugs but it's not summer yet so I'm using the wind.

Loading the kiln.

Hopefully the inside bottoms of the Disney mugs will be fine after this firing.

A whole bunch of necklaces or wall-hangings, they are large.

I made a lot of wall hangings and necklaces.
Three of the Zombie necklaces I donated to the Hukilau for their silent auction for charity.

More AP's of the crawl mug.

When you can't find parts you need to make a lamp go to the plumbing department at a hardware store. I got these pieces and then I used black enamel paint to disguise them.

All done.

I glued it to the lamp and then installed the wires and bulb. This lamp is for sale for $100 the cost of a crawl mug and the parts to make it a torch. It flickers. It is a bit more green than shows in the photo. I have yet to wire the hanging lamp next to it but I will get it done one day.

The first lamp for Dan is done.

With a flash it looks like this.
