hang10tiki is 80 degrees cold for you? I know it's cold at night will it be warm during the day?

Wish List #8 continues as I glaze the four hula girl goblets. One step at a time.

I had the wishers pick out the skin tones for their girls.

Each time I did a layer I would then take the mug outside to dry so I could continue on.

Into the kiln. I just decided to pay the electric bill and to fire with a mostly empty kiln. These are the last projects on this wave so I need to get them done so I can begin again with clay and sculpting.

Fired.

Out of the kiln I found a glaze skip. So I will go over the mug and improve it and fire again.

The tea leaf skirt had many surfaces to glaze.

I would do the top and then the underside.

Glaze would go onto the skin and I would scrap it back off and

then do more skin layers.

Then the skin glaze would get on the leaves and I would have to touch them up. There must be a better way to do this.

Next the waist band. I painted one color and then wiped it off leaving it in the indentations.

Then I painted one by one the little raised areas.

Then I did the skin.

Now it was time to start the next woman. At the same time I have to protect all the glazing on the other parts.

Pineapples were requested for one skirt. For finer detail I decided to cut into the glaze layer and to

remove it. Glaze on top of glaze can spread. I hoped this would stop that from occurring.

I filled in and

added detail. I hope it works.

Done and ready to fire when

it is 100% dry.

These take a week each to glaze. So many parts and so many layers. Wendy
