Sandra Dee we are looking forward to seeing you tomorrow. It is so much better to hand the art over than to mail it. That's why I beg for photos from everyone who has my art arrive on their doorsteps.

LoriLovesTikis today I paint on the glaze. Yesterday I went to Alpha Fired arts and picked up the right kind of (fill the indentations) type of pink glaze. So Carribean Blue for big Bob with a small Bob in Purple or Pink?

I spent all the money from the Zombie Torches on glaze. I guess I'm a glaze junkie but now I'm in remission. I have all the missing colors covered. I got all the tests prepared to go into the kiln with the next run of mugs and bowls.


I picked up colors for Frankenstein's Bob.

Next we headed up the highway to Grass Valley to Roge shop. It was time to pick up our Bumatay Lamp. These lamps do not photograph well when lit but they look great in person.

I brought the tikis with the new bases added on for him to mold. Then he'll offer two versions. One that hangs on the wall and one that stands on its own. Those could be set on a window ledge with the light shining through.

This is my Bumatay Lamp. If you look hard you will see that some of the chunks are actually sea creatures from puffer fish to octopuses.

Roge gave us a gift of a photo of a lamp that he had enlarged. Very cool.

We got a sneak peek at Steve Soto's lamp in progress. It was a beautiful color choice.

Roge has gone back to his roots and pulled out another design. This one is not a box it is a tube. Lights on.

Lights off.

Miguel shows his work.

Here is a tiki free lamp.

Their work is for sale on Roge. Here's the link.
