dartharnie I like the glowing eyes idea but these lamps will have the bulb on top rather than inside. However who knows what the future holds. I'm glad you like Diver's Cove. Stop biting that tongue.

KAHAKA we'll have to see tomorrow if its done or you want some enamel tweaking. My hope is to always make this fun. I sure do have a good time sharing with you all.

LoriLovesTiki thanks Lori. Now they just have to dry.

hang10tiki thank you, thank you, thank you.

Hale Tiki, I like that word. I hate to waste a good tiki.

Progress Report:

ebTikis Coconut Bob bowl, white inside and red brown yellow on the outside even though it looks black.

Clear glaze on Santa Bob for Loki Tiki and Grandpa for Kahaka.

Bottom level of the kiln is loaded.

To fire the Santa Bob hat I couldn't glaze the inside and I had to use three supports to hold it in place.

Top shelf. You can see the clear glaze now added to Coconut Bob.

The Tiki Bob Lamp. I carved off the ridges on the top cap and cleaned up the sides.

I added rings and then texture.

Both are done. Different heights.

I added an opening for the electric cord. As these will dry, we will buy lamp parts and then I'll enlarge the openings as needed. I have to take into account that the clay will shrink as it fires.

Happy Holidays, Wendy
