a little update for those interested.
Kapriman is molded, waiting for the mold to dry out to start casting. This will be my first mug working with satin glazes to get more of the look of the earth pigment paints used by the artisans in PNG.
Working on hand built one off Asaro Mudmen mask mugs, will take a while to dry, then test fire the first one, will do different glazes to match the look of the different clays the Asaros use to make their masks. Will get to posting pics later. Thanks to Tiki Tony and Babalu for the inspiration and tips about handbuilding.
Also will soon mold the first Maprik hornbill mug, and will follow that up with another Mapriki Hornbill design.
The Zombie mug i mentioned to a few people at Tiki Ti, that is a collaboration, will start the sculpture soon. Hope to get that one on the road soon.
Stuckie is doing a release of my Zombie (Moai) mug as a collaboration between Ocea Otica and Munktiki. He is working out of a production mold I had only casted a couple of pieces out of, but had kept in storage since 2003. I can't wait to see his clay body/ glaze coloring choices, but whatever they be I am sure it will be top notch. I have made no input, just want to see his vision of it. Not even sure the edition number, but think it will be fairly limited. Those of you that have been asking about this one will get a shot at getting the Munktiki version.
In non mug news, finally going to devote some time to a project thats been on the backburner for 3 years. limited run statuary resin pieces. Andf it won't be a surprise to you, they will be of PNG images.
Thats it for now, going back underground for a while. When I re emerge again i will post some pics.
Thanks again for everyones encouragement and support.
