Aloha folks - remember me? :)

Wanted to give everyone an update as to what is cooking at VanTiki studio. As some of you know I've been up to my eyeballs with our bathroom renovation project - today I'm pressing the last of the 160+ tiki tiles we are putting up (thank god!). I have a mug ready for sale (stone god #1) - but my main computer is in the shop fro a few more days so I can't post pics (or update the VanTiki.com site) just yet - sorry! I do have a slew of mugs ready to glaze, and I hope to get them painted and fired next week (now that the bathroom is winding down). On top of all that I am happy to say I've signed up for another session with the Hawaii Potter's Guild - and that means more Pickled Heads! Lots of folks expressed interest in the pickled heads I made last time I had access to a pottery wheel. I made one last night (it is sooooooo spiffy - I may not be able to part with him) and plan on making 5 or more for sale in the next 8 sessions. Hope to have a few ready for Halloween :) I'm also getting a very dark clay body for throwing some of the heads - a bit of an experiment. I'll post photos once I get my main computer up and running.

Mahalo for your patience!
