Oh my gosh so many super fun comments. You all just made my day.

Professor G I just visited http://www.docs-atomic-diner.com/process/CreateJournalEntryComment?moduleId=11115116&entryId=12056785&finalize=true
Your site of recipes and photography. My goal is
to have one of my tikis show up with your food one
day.

Tiki G that's quite a compliment, thank you.
hang10tiki who knew you were so good at mixing photography. I've printed Dan's mug for our wall, thank you so much. Should I send you photos so I can be on the other side? I've always wanted a body like that one!
WestADad, that photo has inspired us both to work out.
MadDogMike, Dan the puffer and you are cute.
Chuck Tatum is Tiki, the first two are certainly easier for me so I'm very happy they sound good to you.

Progress report:
I've started work on an anchor.

The molds put together so we could pour #11 and #12.

1.5 hours later we pumped out the slip.

We turn one mold on it's side until the slip starts to come out. Only the slip is thick and doesn't want to move. So while still maintaining an air hole I use the stick end of a large paint brush to get it to slowly pour out.

I run the stick back and forth while Dan slowly inverts the mold.

We have found that slip is thick enough that it doesn't splash. We used to put the bowl on a table. But now we have removed that step and leave it on the floor.

Guess who does all the dishes after each time we fill the molds?

Hope you all have a wonderful day. I need to find a frame for Dan's mug! Wendy
