Mmmm, so this is a new glaze recipe, a deep green and it looks tres gorgeous.
More on happy blues later!

Kimberly said...: Gary.. is there any way you can paint on a lighter glaze in the inside of the mug?

I have a similar colored mug from you and I use it alot but sometimes, when I'm a little whoozy in the morning, I can't see how much coffee I got in it and its gone over the top.

Oh well.. for us morning joe sleepie heads, dark mugs and black coffee can be a challenge.; July 7, 2009 at 9:40 AM

Also, Mr. Clean Magic Erasers are good for that too!

Love the green!; July 7, 2009 at 6:05 PM

I would spill my coffee, too, just like Kimberly. Maybe the secret is to pour a little milk or cream into the mug first, and then add the coffee?; July 8, 2009 at 5:43 PM
