Some day or some year I will finish the 2018 Wish List and who knows what will happen then. This is the wish of Mary Ann Edwards. It's one of two projects that were a night mare to glaze. Hamo's is the second and the last piece I will be posting of Phase Four. Here goes. I picked out a dozen jars of glaze for this mug. I take a deep breath and then I start to glaze. I have to think of what part should be done first so that continuing doesn't risk the other areas. So I started by pouring in the white under-glaze. Then after counting to 30 I pour is back out into the jar and then drain it here. Then I cover the coconut with wet paper towel and start to glaze the hair. Three layers of red brown glaze. All of the white under-glaze must have two layers of clear put over it. I paint around the top first. On the inside I just fill up and count to 30 and then I pour it into the jar and then I let it drain. I do two or three layers on the white coconut meat. I use a towel under the top of the mug so that the glazing will not be damaged. Then I start on the outside of the mug. All three layers are done and it's time to start on the bodies. These mugs are carried back and fourth over and over as they have each layer dried before the next. I can feel Hamo sneaking a peak at his bowl in progress. Cut that out! This is the drying table. Next I did all the flesh glaze FOUR layers thick. It will not be enough! Out of the kiln showed a whole lot of places that needed even more glazing. I never put the jars away until I'm done. After the second glazing and firing the mug was good to be enameled. I did the faces, details and some touch ups. All done and ready for inspection. It feels so good each time a wish is finished. Cheers, Wendy PS one to go and it's for Hamo!!!
