Cheeky, Thank you so much for the feed back. It makes me feel good when people like what I've done. Hey Brother Conga, Thanks man. No, I never did finish that one carving...it ended up having rotten wood at the core and bottom area which made completing the feet next to impossible. I must admit, I kind of lost interest in it after that...I could still try to save it in some fashion I guess. Cam...Of course that one is yours. I still want to trick out an Oki or two dude! Bowana...Watch out folks! TikiDav, I mean "Bowana" is going to be doing mugs in my studio too! This cat has da mad skills! Look for some killa work to come. It's great fun to have Bowana over to the shop, and playing. Bowana, you should post pictures of those 2 pieces you fired over at my place last week. I thought they turned out great! Post-um on this thread if you want to? Mieko, Real sorry I missed your party sister...my daughter came out from Denver to visit last weekend. Thanks for the comps. I can try to throw some of the MoW's in a box and bring them to Oasis...not sure where I will put them, but I will figure it out. Paipo and LLT...thanks so much for the nice words guys! That means a great deal to me coming from 2 artists who's work I concider to be some of the very best on TC. You guys are top shelf in my book! Frostiki...Frosty...I love that name. Got it, do more blue ones. Huge thanks for the comment. It really helps. Hey La Esquina Del Tiki, Yes, I will be selling a few of these to help fund another FUN Chop of some kind, and also help to pay for materials, and power used on this little project. I think that LLT green one has to be in the line up of colors for sure. I've gotten some other good glaze ideas from Jonesey that I want to try. I picked the run number of 60 on these from...well, I really just pulled that number out of the air. I have about 30 free ones to hand out to San Diego Choppers first, and then I will build the other 30 to sell. The 9 successful one's I've glazed so far will be part of that total 60...I have about 15 or so to bisque now, and I cast about one a day due to the nasty other job I have. So it may be a little while before all 60 are done. I also like the several head, or custom head idea...so you may see some more of that happen besides this 60, but not that many more. After 60 of these, I am sure this design will start getting on my nerves anyway, and I will want to move on. These 2 part mugs are fairly labor intensive, as each has quite a bit of extra texture added after they are pulled from the mold, so really, no two are exactly alike, also I'm using several different glazes on them which also takes more time. I'm thinking $60. each. Please PM me if your interested...I will make final glaze choices soon, maybe 3 different types, and yep that green one will be one of them....then lets do a blue one and a brown one too. Please, no money first folks, just a color choice...I will do the money thing when I am ready to ship. Thanks again! PS. Here is my list so far... Babalu So Far we have 3 non- Choppers down Traveling Jones http://lh4.google.com/image/professorrobot/RcOX6ijyobI/AAAAAAAAAA8/zaAwAE6InNo/s288/Captain_Kangaroo_with_bunies.jpg[/img] [ Edited by: Babalu 2007-08-15 22:01 ] [ Edited by: Babalu 2007-08-15 22:53 ] |
