hang10tiki those are some fish that don't make me hungry at all. Fun photos though.

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

I'm slowly getting some drawings and ideas from those with Wishes. I'm printing photos and filling up the binder. It helps me to organize and to start pouring all the parts I will need to work with on Wish List #8.

I have a bunch of orders for the Hot Tub Hula Girls so this is how I can pour 3 girls a day. The funnels hold slip so I don't have to come out and top them off every 10 minutes. It is always good to figure out a way to make it easier.

Suring this down time I keep running into things to repair. This Wish will be remade for the wisher on the next Wish List. I noticed some crazing on the arm. To make sure that the glaze wasn't about to pop off I used a needle to check. Well it did pop off.

When this happens it is sometimes because the clay has turned to chalk. It will not glaze again. So I had to repair it.

I started by filling up the areas with enamel that I mixed to match the skin.

After it had dried overnight I did flower designs so that the repair would not show.

I reduced the cost of this mug from $160 to $60 and showed the photos to the wisher. She passed and I

then showed it to another person who was happy to take it at the reduced price. Such a bummer when this happens.

I am working each day just not as hard. I will have projects to show each day. I hope you'll all stop by and look at what I have to share. Thank you, Wendy
