Geez Wendy, you have certainly been busy. That Bumatay bowl is fantastic and so are all those Bob variations, and you know how i feel about him. I especially like the super carved ones and if i ever decide to add a Tiki Bob to my collection, either i'll ask someone to shoot me, or i'll ask you to make me one of those. :lol:

As for the Zombie Torch mug, i took a good long look at all of those and it took me a while, but i also agree that #4 is probably the way to go. I think painting the girl is a MUST, including the nipples. :wink:
I noticed that the palm trees were not wiped back on the green test glaze. I think that needs to be done, or preferably, although it would be more work, to paint them with enamel also in order to give that side another dimension to match the girl.
Also, have you thought about instead of wiping back the zombie, mixing a darker green, or even a black, and spraying a light coat on a downwards angle to give that shadow effect? You could cut a cardboard stencil the shape of his head and ears and hold it on with a rubber band to avoid getting overspray above his head on the top of the mug. Just a suggestion. Whatever you choose to do, it looks great.

P.S. Sending you a PM.
