I put my powder keg mug back in the kiln because it had a few glaze skips on the inside. It come out with more skips than it went in with  I need to vacuum out my kiln to see if that helps eliminate dust particles and try again.
I tried new coral glaze test tiles at 1:5 orange to pink and 1:10 but not quite right yet. Going to try 1:7 next

Happy New Year to all Art Swappers! Look forward to seeing more progress on everyone's pieces, including mine- more updates later this week from me. Mike, Wendy, Hang10, and others, love all of your finished pieces, and look forward to receiving all of them through some kind of clerical error.

TikiAno, you may have to take it up with Hang10Tiki if you want ALL the projects, I think he has dibbs on that 
30 days to the end of the Swap, if you have been waiting for the holidays to be over so you can start on your Swap project, it's time to git jiggy wit it!
PS - I just sent out e-mails to everyone on my list. If you are not on the list and want to be, PM me your e-mail address

Ahhh! SO much cool stuff! So few days left!
It isn't looking good for me getting time to cook something up. My second art swap crash-n-burn! I gotta stop signing up for these things

My "secret project" is done. Not so much that it was secret, just that it wouldn't look right until it was finished. Hang10Tiki you were right, it's the Yellow Bellied Sea Snake's Fang mug ~ inspired by the elusive Cobra's Fang. Done with a coral color and texture instead of the original turquoise woodgrain.
I have made more than one project for the Swaps before and let my swap partner choose which one they wanted. That was my plan for this time but I realized that won't work ~ we are scheduled for a secret swap where the recipient doesn't know what they are getting until it shows in their mailbox. Hmmm...

Mike- that came out great, love the colors.
I guess you will have to flip your giant coin to see which one you send.
Cy- I was just about to reply when I saw your post, you took the words right out of my mouth...

Sip a drink and get a snake kiss at the same time. That's pretty cut. Your puffer mug puckered up too. Wendy

Mike.
Wow man. Wow.
Seriously. Wow.
You should mold that and do your own run. That's seriously cool, man.
