Wish List #7 getting closer to the end!!!

This was made as a wish for one fellow but is ending up in the hands of another Ken McCormick.
I will make another for the first wisher with an "ovoid" shaped coconut.

Can I really do this???

Glazing is so messy. First I did the inside of the mug.

After the coconut was dry I covered it with plastic wrap so that I wouldn't get drips on it while I glazed the girls and their hair.

So many colors and so many layers.

This was a really hard project.

I used CN glaze so I could do some designs on the clothing.

I love a bright white coconut meat so I always use arctic white under glaze and

then coat it with clear.

Looks like I didn't wash her elbow after the bisque fire. The dust made the glaze crawl.

If I have to touch up one spot I look for any other areas I can improve on and do them as well. Time to do a 2nd firing.

All done and posing.

I even did the bottoms!

This took a week to get it done. You just can't tell from the photos. Wendy
