Shhhhhhhhhhh it's a secret. I don't want anyone to know that I'm getting older. PS thank you hang10tiki you sure have a good memory

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

Wish List #8 continues but first here's a trick I figured out.

The glaze called Ink Spots has black chunks. Sometimes they are still sharp after firing. So I do a layer of clear glaze on top and it helps to prevent this. If they are still sharp then I dremmel them smooth and then do a clear glaze over them and re-fire.

This next wish is for Melissa Natt Sangiacomo. She came to our garage sale and while here picked out colors for her Tiki Bob supercarved mug.

When starting to glaze I made a mistake and started with a layer of green. OH OH. Well with fingers crossed I added the next two layers of blue green that she had chosen.

The inside of the mug is called Tear Drops.

The effect of layering was wonderful. The green showed up on the edges and the blue green on the flat surfaces.

She like it too so all is well.

Another wish has been granted. Wendy
