I found out that last week I wasn't banned from the mug makers' gatherings at Babalu's after all! However, after Babalu told Bowana and I that we had to have our lunch bratwurst on healthy wheat bread because BillyTheCrud ate all the buns the day before, Bowana and I immediately voted Billy out and banned him from the mug group. However, things changed in my mind a little later when I actually tried the healthy wheat bread and liked it better than the brat on the hot dog bun. I called another vote and Billy was voted back in. It wasn't unamimous, but he's still back in. I think next time we'll try to vote Cammo out. I'll see what Billy thinks, since he's a fully reinstated member now. Anyway, between stabbing my friends in the back, talking shit about them, and stealing Bowana's ideas, I worked on: Mug #3, The San Diego Tiki Factory 2nd Anniversary Commemorative Ceramic Tiki Mug, Produced by the San Diego Tiki Factory and Hand Sculpted by Buzzy in an extremely Limited Edition of 1 (that's the official name for this piece) I started out with the idea of this limited edition bling resin pendant that I made for the anniversary, which was last May: Since the mug was to mark the same event as the necklaces, I figured it should be a matching set, so I tried to place the pendant on the mug. So imagine you're at a tiki event, you have your your Tiki Guy costume on, and you top it off with a pendant and this matching mug: The chain took a while to do. Wood grain in between. I'm thinking the white background (like a Tikibob )with the yellow gold chain around it and brown wood color beyond. Just can't decide whether the tiki should be darker than the background, or vice versa The chain frames the text on the back: On the bottom, it says something about 2006-2008 and is signed. If you are wearing the pendant, drinking from the mug, and someone makes fun of you for "matching." You can then stab them with the matching airport security safe combat tiki knife: Now that makes an ensemble! All I need now is friend who does tshirts...

Long weekend, but very short on work...

I did a little on chair #3...
