Piddersthecat I need to remember to take breaks when I work. There's so much to see on TC. I'm glad you choose me as one of your stops. Thank you.

RVICTOR best result ever thanks to Woody Miller sharing his glaze Pingo with me. It's on-line for sales. I've never seen it in a shop. It does wonderful lumpy lava. You piece is ready to glaze and I hope to do it in the next couple of weeks.

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

I started on June 6th and five days later on June 10th I finished glazing the two Mars Attacks mugs. Whew they were hard.

Every step of glazing was shown once here but done 3 or more times. I was concentrating to not make mistakes so I missed taking photos of glazing the woman. I remembered by the time I got to the man.

It's time to do the scary mugs. Scary because there are so many tiny areas to glaze.

I started by doing the background colors.

Right up to the space aliens.

Some areas I will paint over and then wipe off for the next color.

Done wiping and now they will dry.

Once dry where I could pick up the mug I dug out the glaze that has gone into the carved in letters.

I did them all. This will help the next glaze to stick.

So many colors so many layers. I did the green grass at the bottom where the cows are running from the flames.

Next the Mars Attacks were glazed over and over again.

I just kept referring to the photos when selecting glazes that matched.

I use many sizes of brushes and needles and spikes. Whatever fits.

I wanted the space ships to be special so I used on the tops

silver and black diamond glitter glazes. They will really show up in the sun.

There were so many glaze colors for these that it's good that I have such a huge supply.

Done and drying and it's time to pose!

Close up.

Finger crossed that all the glaze stays in place. Wendy
