B Bowana Tiki Socialite La Mesa, CA Joined: Nov 10, 2006 Posts: 1183	B Bowana Posted posted on Sat, Jan 15, 2011 8:31 PM Hey OceaOtica, MDM, LOL, leleliz, Beachbumz, Babalu, Zerotiki, LLT, GROG, and Lee, thanks for the comments! (and for the no comment, swizzle) :) You guys are funny! Here's the glazed Space Monkey. Okay, he won't be named Albert then. Seems to be bad luck. I don't know what name to give him. Suggestions? Houston, we have a problem!! Here is the glazed Mighty Ku: These both came out very well I think. Glazing ceramics can be a hit or miss operation. Thanks for firing them, Babalu! ...and thank YOU for visiting :) Yo later, Bowie

B Bowana Tiki Socialite La Mesa, CA Joined: Nov 10, 2006 Posts: 1183	B Bowana Posted posted on Wed, Jan 26, 2011 4:58 PM Thanks so much swizzle, LLT, GROG, leleliz, MDM, Babalu, and ebtiki! I like bananas! Finally Sunshine sees the light of day! Another über-glaze job on this girl. I chose not to use underglazes this time. I used instead all cone 05 opaque gloss colors to try to avoid problems I've had with underglazes flaking off. These glazes have particularities of their own I found out! Biggest no-no is try not to paint too much over different colors. Ya get the runs! She looked like Marge Simpson after Homer hit her in the face with his make-up shotgun set on "whore". Yikes! After some very careful enamel paint mixing, I was able to set Sunshine on the straight and narrow path to recovery! Thanks for visiting! :) Bowie

Here's some shots of the newest mug, "Minimalist Moai". I busted this one down to basics, which for me is a very difficult thing to do! The mighty Moai Army grows! This is a limited edition of 25, signed and numbered. Gonna have 'em at Oasis, so come by and see me in Artists' Alley! :) Thanks for visiting! Bowie

B Bowana Tiki Socialite La Mesa, CA Joined: Nov 10, 2006 Posts: 1183	B Bowana Posted posted on Sun, Apr 15, 2012 9:21 PM Thanks, MDM, DLT, GROG, BBU, and LLT :) Here's the latest: Moai Bowl I wanted it to look like stone, so I put a texture on it using real rocks (pretty clever , huh?) The yellow-gold color on the inside gives it a nice contrast. I'm also trying out new colors on the remaining Minimalist Moais I've got. PINK! And now for something completely different (that's NOT a Moai). Sneak peek at what I'm on currently: What looks like 3 mugs is really 1 mug. I hand built one like this several years ago. This one is being molded with plans for a limited edition. Thanks for stopping by! Bowie

B Bowana Tiki Socialite La Mesa, CA Joined: Nov 10, 2006 Posts: 1183	B Bowana Posted posted on Fri, Jun 1, 2012 5:48 PM Thanks for your visit! Boris-I dunno. You seem like a reasonable man to me. MDM- Yep, not completely buried in Transformer masks. I'm having to dig out of Power Rangers, Simpsons, and Ninja Turtles as well! LLT- I like the way YOU jut outward! Wendy- If I told you the secret medium, then it wouldn't be a secret! But I'll tell you anyways: detail like that can be achieved with any hard oil based clay. Babalu- Mouth watering to catch your drool! Thanks for firing it! Clarita- Gracias! Saludos desde SD! GROG- Thanks! GROG- Thanks! GROG- Thanks! Sophista-tiki- Thanks very much! I've been doing some glaze experimenting with these over the past few weeks. Got a green one... ...and a brown one. The white flowers were stenciled on in enamel paint after firing. I didn't have the stencil until after they were fired, or else I would have glazed them on. In trying to come up with the simplest color schemes that would take a small amount of time, I learned that with this particular design there is no simple color scheme that takes a small amount of time. Doh! Aloha, and thanks for stopping by :) Bowie

I wore my hair in all those styles in high school. I use Romo #4 so I'll just have to practice more or find mini tools to use. I think mine are too thick. Thank you for sharing that. See you at Oasis, oh MDM asked that too. Cheers, Wendy
