We now have three friends with melanoma. One is stage four and one has had six removed. All were fun in the sun people. ============================ I'm back to doing catch up photos of my glazing progress while I also glaze the Sacramento Crawl mugs. Here's what else I've done. These photos were taken from 4/15/19 through 4/26/19. I always to the water line several extra times. This makes a barrier to prevent the skin glaze from moving down. I use an under-glaze but it still moves. I then do all the bottoms leaving a small box for numbering the mug. I do them all and leave them to dry before I do the next step. I had forgotten to glaze the opening so I just stood at the counter and did them all. Next I did the sides. Then they sit until completely dry. I had a wish for a Zombie Torch mug. Great because I had one flame left. I will make them as mug with a regular top but I'll not make the flames again. Glazed in brown and ready to fire. The Tahiti mugs are in our next garage sale. We don't have enough yet but he'll purge one more time. Just one little glaze skip and I'll have to glaze it and re-fire. If the glaze goes in too thick and cracks when it dries the cracks do not heal they cause huge glaze skips. I already re-glazed and fired this mug and all the skips went away. It's really fun when one of your mugs sells for $100 more than what you charge. I did a marathon. I finally did some black velvet photos of projects. Now I can put them onto my gallery page. A Tiki Bob wish that has gone to his new home. I do Tiki Bob lamp bases. The buyer has to do the wiring. I do the required number of layers for the girls but even underglazes run. I always have to glaze twice and re-fire every single one. I carved a tapa fogcutter. It's on hold for Terra W. I glazed it in brown then scrapped and wet wash clothed it off of the outer areas. Once it was done I glazed it in the tapa colors. That was a lot of posting. I appreciate hang10tiki doing it with me. Sometimes I take a night off when he does it. I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend. Even if you are at work I hope your free time is great. Wendy
