Hey I'm kinda new to Tiki Central,i just found this forum, and i gotta say i love your work. I've been hand building for 17 years or so and i used to do a lot of low fire work, mostly sculpture. I've also created tiki mugs but i always went high fire with them. recently how ever i discovered a clay called Darcy's with mica. It's a rich dark red when fired with a hint of shine from the mica. It's also incredibly vitreouse for a low fire clay. I plan to finish them with a black wash.
What i really like about your work is the amazing color, those are under glazes are they not? And you have so much time in the construction of each piece - nice. They have a great graphic quality, they really pop! It's always good to meet a fellow mud head. So you sell your work on EBAY, I'll have to check that out, that and your web site.
Thanks this has been inspiring, I spend a lot of time alone in the studio so it is always great to see what other people are doing.
