Cupcake Lovin

<div><p>I also took some time to make a bit more progress on the cupcake. I painted it in underglazes, and glazed certain parts, here it is before and after glazing. The white and pink area was glaze in a semi transparent pink gloss glaze, so the frosting will look extra delish. The eyes and parts of the mouth were glazed with a glossy clear, to give the eyes some sparkle.</p> <p>I still need to build and fire the hands, feet, eaten cupcake wrappers, and one baby cupcake. Super amped.</p> <br/><img src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_FlSZPcW00kg/TX2Zhq30LSI/AAAAAAAAAR8/aUNJyIUSwsI/2011-03-13_20-38-28_793.png" /><br/><img src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_FlSZPcW00kg/TX2ZielITcI/AAAAAAAAASA/qByayIe1Ryc/2011-03-13_23-14-24_29.png" /></div>

I wasn't feeling the colors at first but as I keep working im beginning to warm up to this peice. As I continue im realizing more and more that I need to make 3rd base for this. It just needs another level of rediculousness. More to come on that.<br />
