hang10tiki thank you. That's a new style bowl and I'm so happy it worked out.

RVICTOR I plan to use the PINGO when I do your mug. He was so nice to share that with me. I'm getting closer.

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

The company where I purchase glaze recently stopped selling the small jars. I asked why and they said because once a week they had to add water or the glaze would dry out. I wish they had told me because I have been dealing with that for years. I have to dig out the glaze and put it in a larger jar, add water and stir and shake. It doesn't always work out.

The next Wish is for CY. It is a Kava Kava man lamp. CY will wire it and make a lamp shade.

I took the opportunity to photograph Dan too.

One last Dan and the man photo.

The new Rapa Nui mug. This one is for Moai Mike. First I coated all the carvings with black glaze.

I cleaned it up to make the lines sharp.

Then I used a flat grey Duncan Designer glaze over the whole mug. I'm hoping the black will show through.

Now I did another with a rocky top as if the mug was all carved from rock. I poured in the purple and left it for 30 seconds. I should say that first I sprayed these mugs with water so that the layer of glaze sticking won't be too thick.

Then I coated this whole mug with a grey IN glaze. The IN glaze is made to become thick in the carving lines to highlight them. Now I can see the difference.

When these dry I will clean the bottoms.

May you have a safe and fun 4th of July, Wendy
