I can't wait to see how that fires! Will the glazes blend together?
Feel better Wendy & I hope Dan mends quickly.

I love the jaguar bowl...I have no idea what to expect....
And the face on the suffering bob made me snarf. My oldest thought it looked like charlie brown. Very cute.

hang10tiki he is done, do you want him?
Atomic Tiki Punk ohhh I like that description.
LoriLovesTiki this is the first time I've tried this technique. See how it played out below. We are getting better thank you.
dartharnie he does look like his is worrying and I agree he is cute. My first step to making a mug is to think it through. That's what I'm doing now with your Mummy request. Soon I'll be well enough to start on him.
WaikikianMoeKele thank you kele.
VampiressRN check out your Flamingo Bob. Do you want it?
Philot it's close but not ready until it fires one more time. I'm very happy with the interior glaze. Today I repainted the skipped areas and added one more coat to the outside the bowl and jaguars. Finger crossed that it will look good this second time around.
McTiki do you have a kilt? If so please post a photo.
Progress Report: The kiln is open and here are the photos.
Top Shelf.
MadDogMike said I didn't have to thank him for the gift of the portable photographic studio every time I use it so this time I'll say thank you Mike for being such a great friend.
Here I have finished Swizzle's Bob (he hates Bob but had to have one of mine, I'm honored), VampiressRn's Flamingo Bob and Atomicchick's Pac Man Bob.
I have finished Matt the Cat's Blue Palm Bob, Marone Tiki's Scuba Bob and hang10tikis Suffering Bob. I learned a lot about glazes on the Scuba Bob. I even mixed in a metal glaze on the tanks.
Bottom Shelf.
Philot's bowl turned out just as I had hoped. There were a few small glaze skips that I've repaired today between coughs. I also added one more layer of grey. I'll fire it again as soon as I do a couple more projects so that the kiln won't be completely empty.
This one is with a flash.
You know I live for feedback. I was so happy to have all these earlier messages. I think you helped us get better. Cheers, Wendy

The Flamingo and Scuba Bobs are spot-on! And the Jaguar Temple Bowl is just all kinds of AWESOME!!!

Beautiful! The Jaguar bowl is mind droppingly beautiful. The sculpt, holy cow, not to mention the glazing. The widening of the Bobs continue to make me grin each time. I personally love the Scuba Bob, the metal tanks are incredible. (Though I still love my Bob the most).

Do I want him?
I already have a spot waiting for that lil Suffering Bob masterpiece
in my Wendy and Dan area ( it use to be a shelf, now it's an area).
They all look awesome...
Christmas came early

I like what you did with the Flamingo Bob, the beak and eyes are great! The Jaguar Bowl is pretty epic too! Of course the Pacman Bob is looking great. Glad you are feeling better.

First off I need to just say a huge Thank You to each of you for your posts and greatly appreciated comments about my art. Here are just a few comments minus the thank you.
MadDogMike I posted on the swap today.
TikiAno it just shows how much fun you have to look forward too.
hang10tiki I love having and area in your terrific tiki room.
lunavideogames I have 3 Ms.PacMan's to do. When I stop coughing.
LoriLovesTiki I didn't know how it would turn out either. This last bunch taught me a lot. It's good to see you in MDM's swap.
VampiressRN I have printed the address slip for your Bob. Soon he'll be on his way to you.
I needed to fire up the kiln again for Philot's Temple of the Jaguar bowl so to fill up the space I glazed some more of the pieces that I made a long time back.
I made a couple of bowls. One for my great niece and one for my great nephew. I think I used too much of this product and the names will most likely melt into a mess. Doesn't matter too much kids will find it weird I gave them a bowl. However I'll fill them with treats that will distract them.
I just glazed another bowl as a test layering glazes on top of each other.
I added glaze to the inside of Philot's bowl.
I put one more layer of gray on the outside. That's only two layers. I didn't want the texture to disappear and the Mayan Temples are very light in color.
Philot's bowl is on the bottom and the rest I made to fill up the kiln are on top. The tall vase is my project for the Sea Creature Swap.
I have all the Bob molds and the Severed Head mold in the kiln shed. The heat helps them to dry out during this cold and wet winter.
Back to bed to rest and read. I go in waves. I know Dan is recovering well because he's in the jungle room arrainging tikis!
Happy Holidays, Wendy
