It's a three day weekend and I bet you are all out having fun. I've been glazing since this morning and now I'm taking a break. I decided to post something I made for Dan awhile back. Here are all the steps.

Many years ago we bought a set of restaurant ware dishes etc. We recently sold the set but I kept this odd numbered one because it had a imperfect tiki decal. I wanted to do something to this dish as an experiment.

I tried out some sandpaper and it worked to remove the tiki.

I left the words because they were good for my design.

I had this product that I had bought at a thrift store and I wanted to test it.

I started to draw. It had a very fine tip.

I filled in all the parts a squirt at a time.

Once I finished I let it completely dry.

Here it is fired.

The words remained and didn't burn off. I had guessed an 06 clay and that's what it was.

Dan hung it in his tiki jungle room.

That was fun. Now I'll watch for blank plates like this at thrift stores so that I can play again in the future.

Cheers, Wendy
