Wendy, wow, the detail is amazing. Great color choices.

Both the test mug (V1.0) and the Exotica bowl came out of the kiln. First, the Martin Denny album cover:

I drew, then painted the design using a black glaze. I used a squeeze bottle for the finer details- which left a thicker glaze application than I had thought- thus a bit of running around the Moai's face. The rest of the glazes are Shinos, which demonstrate a variety of color based on the thickness of the application. The clay body is "Speckled Buff," which has specks that come out when it's high fired. The interior:

Exterior/ side:

This is the test version of the tiki mug for the Swap- it's a bit shorter and very wide- can hold a LOT of any beverage. The red lipstick underglaze was applied a bit too thick, I admit. The subsequent version should be a lot cleaner (it's being bisque fired now):


Interior:

The forehead pendant should have come out golden in color- not sure what happened- a test piece with the same glaze came out perfectly- most likely was the position in the kiln (I didn't load it).

Look forward to seeing everyone else's updates....

(some more work and photos on my thread).
