Alooooooo - HA! The kiln was cracked open this morning and I was pleased as Hawaiian Punch with what I found!

First up, A special order by the one-and-only Traveling Jones: The Blackened Mug! Taken from the burning embers, this curse-ed mug was sipped from by great chiefs on the eve of major battles -

So cool! Really stoked with this one. Ms. VanTiki likes it better than the "normal" trepanning skulls. She may be right!

Next up we have the Bone Red Pongo! Matte off-white with deep red in the recesses (reminiscent of dried blood perhaps?) - and a gloss dark red interior. Do you dare drink from it?

And here we have a Pongo Log found overgrown in the rain forest - the Moss Green Pongo!

The last Pongo is going to TC member HiPhiPAHulA - the Blood Red Pongo:

The last mug of this load is my favorite, and it took me so long to glaze I was camped out in my studio almost all night, chewing my nails and jumping at every pop while it went through its final firing in the kiln. Allow me to present Mini-Mega Cinder Cone (with color scheme designed by Traveling Jones). THis Volcano is singe chambered - with 4 straw holes for you and your friends:

Whew! The Mini Cinder Cone and the top two pongo logs will be hitting eBay shortly, and I have a two-stage MEGA Cinder Cone that will be ready some time next week.

Mahalo for looking -
