The next project is glazing the mug for Buddy. This is for opening night at The Jungle Bird that he and the owners of the Tank House will be showcasing hopefully during the Sacramento Crawl.

This is their signature tiki and logo. I just put them together into this mug.

It was hard to carve all the lettering and now I've got to glaze it all

with a pin. A dot at a time.

Three times with it drying between each layer.

It would be nice to be done with the pin but nope I had to use it for all the glazing around the lettering too.

This was done 3 times too.

Next I did the rest of the mug except for the tiki.

When the mug dried I did the tiki.

Close up.

Pictures of the glazing being finished and drying.

Before firing it must be completely dry or the

glaze will boil and bubbles will pop,

Out of the kiln and all is well. These photos turned out

better than my black velvet photos. OH WELL!

I do these for my Gallery page.

Now I'm waiting to hear from Buddy. Cheers, Wendy
