I worked on my computer yesterday but now I need professional help. I can get to Tiki Central but not to my windows emails. Good thing I only know tiki people. The problem all started with being asked if I wanted to add ASK and its tool bar. I said NO NO NO to every question and the tool bar popped up and froze my computer. Finally I was able to run some anti-virus ware and male-ware and my computer was working when I went to bed. Now this morning its all messed up again. So after this morning I may be gone for a while. I'll try to repair it over the phone first. philot nice word. I'll work on you CI heads today. anthoneymaye I learned a lesson there. I thought the black would over power the pink when it melted, nope. So we will add more of those drips in the fix. littlegiles its exciting to open the kiln but scary because of errors that will need to be fixed. See below. MDM we are happy with all the color choices. It is hard to tell from the photos but there are even two in purple. hang10tiki we think tigertail7777 did a great job too. tigertail7777 color choice fast please Mrs. Mahalo Tiki came to check the mugs and to take away those that are finished. Each one was checked with a flashlight inside and out. These three were go to go. These 17 have tiny imperfections that must be corrected. Most were glaze skips but some were runs or smudges inside the mugs. These will be painted Sunday and re-fired. This is when it gets expensive. Specs of dust cause glaze skips so even though we painted them completely the glaze moves away from dust. A little more work and time and they'll be good to go. Yesterday we went out for lunch. Dan got his favorite sandwich. We had a good visit with non-tiki friends. On the way home we stopped at Alpha to pick up supplies. I now have the glaze for the Sacramento Crawl mugs. To keep the Wish List projects going and filling the requests accurately I have a binder that I update with incoming email and helpful photos. I ask lots of questions. The projects placed in the binder by name in alphabetical order. Without the binder I'd be lost. 1 binder per Wish List. littlegiles told me to not let the casts go to waste. As you know I work in full loads. I had a few more crawl mugs to bisque fire so I finished off more of the dry work on the shelves. The Moai heads are now going to be for the wall not bowls. The small Frankoma tikis will be little statues. Since I cast Joniece Franks work her initials go on the bottom of each in the way she signed her intitals in the past. The bottom of the kiln is filled. The top shelf of the kiln is filled. When this load opens I'll have all the crawl mugs ready to glaze at once. I love a full kiln and I love being over loaded with tiki projects. Thanks for taking the ride with us. Wendy [ Edited by: danlovestikis 2012-09-13 07:52 ]

Mrs. Mahalo Tiki came to check the mugs and to take away those that are finished.

Each one was checked with a flashlight inside and out.

These three were go to go.

These 17 have tiny imperfections that must be corrected. Most were glaze skips but some were runs or smudges inside the mugs. These will be painted Sunday and re-fired. This is when it gets expensive. Specs of dust cause glaze skips so even though we painted them completely the glaze moves away from dust.

A little more work and time and they'll be good to go.

Yesterday we went out for lunch. Dan got his favorite sandwich.

We had a good visit with non-tiki friends.

On the way home we stopped at Alpha to pick up supplies. I now have the glaze for the Sacramento Crawl mugs.

To keep the Wish List projects going and filling the requests accurately I have a binder that I update with incoming email and helpful photos. I ask lots of questions. The projects placed in the binder by name in alphabetical order. Without the binder I'd be lost. 1 binder per Wish List.

The top shelf of the kiln is filled.
