The last of the glazing photos until I start to glaze again. These were taken from 6/9/19 to 6/10/19.

Since I am having major skip problems we are re-scrubbing everything before I glaze.

Dan does all the heavy lifting for me.

After scrubbing they go into the house again and are covered with plastic to keep the dust off. One spec is a problem.

These are the last of all the bisque to be scrubbed and glaze but that is still a ways off.

I have eleven Hot Tub Hula Girls made. I have pink notes inside each mug that tells me the number of the mug, the hair, eye and lip color.

I use enamel paint to do these touch ups and detail work. Then the mug bakes in the home oven.

These areas have to be protected from hot water and hot drinks. Cold will not remove the paint, hot liquids will.

I tip each one as I finish.

Scrabble is visiting and keeping me entertained.

I use a skewer stick to paint these details because it is more controllable than a brush.

Scrabble got tired of watching and took a nap in Dan's chair.

This is the first time a crystal in the glaze was large enough that it moved up and made a defect. I'm glad I found it before I did the enamel.

I used a dremmel to remove the glaze.

This one mug will need to be glazed and fired again. At least it wasn't a skip!

There are other projects to show soon, Wendy
