I won't mention any names, but the guy who customized that mug is a really nice guy (I saw him Sunday) and he responds to PMs - you can always ask him :D

Just to clarify, there were 2 names of the bottom of that mug - the artist who sculpted it and the artist who glazed it and I had them confused. I don't know the glazing artist (though I did meet him at Oasis 9) - I don't want to be claiming to know someone when I don't :)

Mike, anyone with a 60 page "creating Tiki" thread is an expert in my book!

Hah! That just means I post a lot of crap :lol:

I picked up some very red dirt from Sedona, AZ last summer. I soaked it in water, mixed it well, let it settle for days, then decanted off the clay layer - One of these days I will have to try to use it on something. Michael's Crafts sells an Amaco Indian Red clay (they sell it as an airdry clay for kids but it can be fired up to ^02), it's a very nice red clay but not as cool as self harvested natural clay, especially Hawaiian volcano clay :D
