VanTiki~ WOW! The sunken tiki is SOOOOOOOO cool! really great stuff! Your work is so expressive! Now, are you actually going to be able to do a run of the giant sunken tiki mugs? I thought I would be too complicated to create a mold out of?
And the pickled head is amazing! Almost alive looking! (in a pickled sort of way)
And here I thought your skull tiles were the best thing I'd ever seen! You've surpassed your self!

Mahalo Tiki Shark!

We were on the big island the weekend before last and I realized too late that I forgot to e-mail you and find out if we could get an up close peek at your recent work! Next time - perhaps if the Super Ferry starts heading to Hilo! :)

As far as the Octo-Mug goes - it is a one-of-a-kind sculpt. I may do a few more in that style, but there is no way I could ever mold it! I finally got into town today and re-stocked my glaze cabinet, so you will see the octo guys finished shortly!

Hewey - I hear you on the shrunken head thing! I was toying with the idea of adding string to they eyes/mouth - but I thought a pickled head would put a different spin on things. Those VanTiki natives are an odd bunch! :)

Mahalo for the compliments! THey keep me pushing the clay!
