I am going to share them on fb. Hammo every finger I have works clay and Dan's touch vinyl every day. But paper tape saves the day. ========================================= More Glazing Catch Up Photos. These were taken 4/11/19 until 4/15/19. There's a lot of walking when glazing. In and outside, to the garage for glazes. To the sink to wash up. Here's a few of the steps taken during those five days. I glazed the Tahiti mugs that were cancelled. They are now in the latest garage sale we are slowly adding too. Scrabble likes to spy on me but I caught her. I show one but I did six one layer at a time until three layers were done on each of the six mugs. To hurry up the process I put them in the sun to dry. If you do this and see cracks in the glaze form those cracks will turn into glaze skips. So what I do is scrap those cracks down to the bisque and re-glaze those areas. So if the glaze is thick let it dry slowly rather than in the sun. Wonder how I figured this out??? I do the Hot Tub Hula Girls in waves. First I do all the insides and then clean up all the overrun areas. The next project was a fun small one. A carved green coconut with a Frankoma swizzle stick locked in place. I always have a Tiki Bob in there someplace. Now I made some necklaces and little Frankoma statues. The Catch Up is going well. Now I'm up to mid-April. I will keep them coming. Have a sunny day, Wendy
