Hey It's MP. I just wanted to give a shout out to Babalu, Bowana and everyone involved in the making of this
thread. I started really reading through TC about the time of Forbidden Islands Parking lot sale 3
and I started reading this thread. I did some casting in school and even have the fancy books, but
it was this thread that got me off my ass to cast a tiki mug. This guys name is Therm Tower and is
about 10" tall and very heavy. I think because of the indented corners it need thicker walls to hold its shape.
I leave the slip in about 1 hour then pour it out and leave it upside down overnight. These guys are heavy
but I dig'em. Right now I'm screwing around with glaze experiments for them. I will have a bunch of these
and a new cast tiki mug design at the artist alley. Thanks guys!
Therm is inspired by my favorite mug the "Suffering Bastard" or Mai Tai Joe
He's even got a little butt too!
Cheers, MP
