Why thank-ye master Kinny :wink:

Things are busy round here...little update:

Anticipating that there might be some folks a little tight on funds at this years Oasis, I thought it might be nice to have a little cheaper version of my new Cobras Fang mug to complement the other muli-glazed (more expensive version) that you have all seen (above post)...Sooooo, I've created the "Yin and Yang Cobras!" - Git yer Fang-Shway on baby - these guys will be available at Oasis this year in a "very" limited number at $55 each, or a $100 for the pair.

If anyboty is not going to be at Oasis this year and would like either the $55 or the $85 version (or set) of this Cobras Fang mug(s), just let me know, and I will put you on this list I've started for those that can't make it to Oasis...those on the "not coming to Oasis list" will need to wait on the firings that I will be doing shortly after Oasis, but they can still lock themselves in on one. No, I don't need any funds right now, just pm me you name...that will be enough to hold you on this list. I've got room for about 20 spots (mugs) on this list. PM soon....12 sold at Ohana - 20 to 25 will be available, first come, first serve at Oasis - the rest is for the above list. I'm doing a grand total of 50 to 60 of these mugs, and a "few" custom sculpted ones in 'whatever glazes'...that will be it...no more snakey mugs! It will be on to the next design. :)

Speaking of next design, after all of the ML proto-types I have done, I have decided to go ahead an make a master sculpt for the Mauna Loa Drum mug for casting. In keeping with the "Crypto feel", it too will only be produced in a small a numbered run too, and that will be it...assuming that everything goes fine in the molding process that is :wink: Anyway, I'm hoping to have a few of these done for Oasis if all goes right. I still need a day to carve up the mask and the bird yet, but the below photo should give you some idea of the direction I'm taking in my design concept of this classic drum's image to a drinking vessel (mug). The next image you see will be of one of the castings :)

I'm getting ready to pull out of the shop for a few weeks of family fun with the grand kiddies on the other side of the Country starting July 31st - It's cuts into my Oasis stuff I know, but it sure is going to be a hoot. I can't wait - Ohhh happy summer time!

Thanks for stopping in!

PS: Sorry for the photo quality - I lost my camera and had to shoot this stuff with my phone...man, I have to correct that soon; I can't live without a camera
