I hope you got the view of the Royal Hawaiian Hotel that you want on your mug. This is if you still want the one with it and the tiki whose feet you showed off. I took the same photo of the War God painting at The Tikis. Did you stay at the Outrigger? We had a view of the Royal Hawaiian that looked like one of your photos when we stayed there. They saved the huge Banyon Tree when doing the new buildings? That would be one good thing. I will always miss the Marketplace. I'm ready for day number two!!! ============================== More glazing steps on Owen Wright's HUGE Tiki Bob Hula Girl bowl. Owen has a fondness for the color of a green coconut. I couldn't find a glaze in the color he sent to me. But I had two glazes that maybe combined would work. I would do a layer of one and then a layer of the other. Back and forth. I just hope they don't have a chemical reaction and turn purple. He requested that the bowl be Blue Caprice but that it not go up the girl like in my Hot Tub Hula Girl coconut mugs. After I poured some in I then brushed it up the sides of the bowl with a wide brush. I did this 3 times. All done except that I used a stiff brush to wipe off the glaze that crept up the girls grass skirt. One of the four tikis had a chin tattoo. I used a pin to place the glaze a dot at a time. It didn't all go into the carvings but after it dried I just wiped off the excess. This is black underglaze. I will use a white underglaze to cover the left behind grey color. His next request was that I do a sand color rim around the bowl. This bowl will have four differently colored Tiki Bob's. To blend them together I did a ring of carving around the bowl that also was on the sides of the tikis. In this photo I'm carrying the sand glaze onto each mug. I tried different things with this bowl that over time I changed. I will show that later. I always let the glazes dry before starting the next part. That prevents me from messing them up or transferring color where it doesn't belong. I've only just begun with this bowl. Cheers, Wendy
