I do two coats of Duncan Artic White underglaze and Two coats of CC Black on the eyes and mouth. For the body I also use a non-traveling glaze such as a Duncan CN or a Mayco Stroke and Coat. I ruined a lot of Bob's with runs before I got this right. Once the face is entirely dry I do 3 or 3 coats of Duncan Clear Brilliance. The other clear glaze that is light bluegreen in the jar doesn't work. It will run the black making Bob look like he is crying. So look for this bright green. On the back it says Appraiser for the Assessor. The next wish is for Justin Wogslaw. He is a bartender at the Diller Hotel. This is a gift for his employers. It has a nice sentiment on the bottom which I glazed first. I always plot out my glaze strategy. For this bowl I did the volcano, outside and the inside sides. I left a ring for the next glaze to make sure it sticks. Thank you Woody Miller for showing me the product PING. It comes in white and black. I now put this glaze that will make the lava on the top of the volcano and ran it over the sides. Next I did glaze for the red hot lava. I added chuck crystals in red to the glaze to make it thicker. Now I poured in glaze for the water. I went all the way around the volcano. I let it dry for a couple of days. Next I took extra crystals and rubbed them on the ring of water for extra pizzazz. The red glaze cracked as it dried. That happens when it is too thick. But since it is in this flat area it should heal itself. Done and now it goes outside to dry more so it can be fired. Have a great weekend. I'm staying indoors and glazing! Wendy
