I have a great love of the Mai-Kai and thanks to hosting Hukilau there, I also have a great relationship with the Mai-Kai. It is hard to express how great their attitude toward our community and Hukilau has been compared to other places. So, when I thought about mug designs, it was the Mai-Kai that was the source for my inspiration.

I wanted to do something new, that had not been done before, but more importantly, to set a standard that had not been seen in a long time.

This mug inspired me:

This particular mug is from Ren Clark's Polynesian Village.

The detail is just not done today. And for good reason. It is costly! But, that was my goal.

So, taking that as the quality standard to meet or beat, we set out to make the Mystery Girl bowl.

This iconic postcard was a great inspiration:

And that is what we are working on. Vintage 1957 style Mystery Gal bowl. With more detail than has been seen in decades, maybe longer...

Coming in 2011!
