GROG you can hide them but you can fix them. So for the show I just put tape over the crack so no one gets cut. But thank you for the vote of confidence. hang10tiki GROG and I are adding entertainment value to the show with out mishaps. GROG I'm still hoping you were able to really fix your bowl. =================================== I started work on the Swap mug on 5/23/19 and I got this far by 5/24/19. This was actually the sculpt I did fired and then used to make a fogcutter mold. So it's the only one this large. I used those little bottles of black under-glaze to label the bottom. I glazed the inside with my favorite Blue Caprice Mayco Jungle Gem. I bought this Moai from a exchange teacher in Chile. I used him for the more modern Moai style for my mug. I used a couple of the little bottles to do some layers for the Moai. I also made it lumpy like rock. Next I picked out all the rest of the under-glaze colors I was to use on the background. I painted the rolling hills of Easter Island. I used Dan's toothbrush to work the glaze into a different appearing texture. I had a bit of colored glaze go on the Moai so I used more of the black to keep the edge black. The perspective may be off but I wanted some pretty Bird Of Paradise flowers on the mug. When all of these glazes were dry I did my first coat of Clear Brilliance glaze by Duncan. They do two but this one is the best. Scrabble watched for hours and then conked out. I ended up doing three layers of the clear. Not bad for two days work. Wendy |
