Prikli Pear ah thank you. I do know that Gecko adds crust and seashells to a Tiki Bob he makes that are out of this world great. He's the best glazer there is on earth. I aspire to be like him. I'll keep trying with your encouragement. littlegiles ha ha. You all keep me having fun making tiki art. I guess I'll just have to keep working. ==================================== Wish List #8 continues with more steps on the spitting tiki mugs and the first O2 out Diver's helmet. The next step is to thickly coat the mugs with flat black underglaze. It's best to do it with the mug on it's side. This will just be one thick layer. One done. All 10 done. The next day I search for missed areas and fill them in. Once these are all dry it's time for the next step. Dan set up the wire table for me in the backyard. He filled a couple of clean buckets with water. I don't want any dust particles to get on the mugs so the buckets must hold clean water. I am using a washcloth to scrub off the glaze from all the flat surfaces. I even scrub the tiki. I couldn't resist a photo of these guys who are waiting for their baths. More done. 5 done and 5 left to do. This is messy work. It was time to do the diver's helmet. First one side and then the other side. A different glaze will cover the messy looking areas. The last tray is filled and I called Dan to carry them back into the kitchen. I wish I could work harder but I'm still trying to avoid the carpal tunnel surgery. Cheers, Wendy
