A perfect day WestADad my wish came true for you.

Progress Report all over the place:

A terrific bowl by Eric October that we purchased at the Tonga Hut Sale.

My favorite subject in little lost tikis art are his birds. I couldn't resist painting the bowl to somewhat match the painting. I love these both.

While the kiln cooled with the second load I went to work on fine tuning all the clay sculpts for the Bumatay lamp.

An overview of all of them but a couple of tails.

Close ups of some of them.

Next up working on the Zombie Torches.

Where Dan ground down the glaze spikes on the bottom of the flames there were tiny white spots. I decided to just use permanent red felt pen to touch them out even though they wouldn't show with the flame in place.

Here are all 30 Zombie Torch mugs and flames.

Here's my new routine. I will paint each mug how I think best to match the prototype. I may even touch up a spot here and there of a speck of glaze that was out of place. 24 hours later they bake in my home oven. I can do 6 at a time.

I will contact the first 6 on the list for addresses. Once I am paid we will ship and then contact the next 6. When everyone on the list of 30 has been contacted and purchased or not I will then go down the waiting list in order offering what I have left.

I'm about to gather up the paint and brushes and to go to work. Thank you all for hanging in with Dan and I throughout this process. Cheers, Wendy
