ZeroTiki spook-TASTIC is a fun new word to hear. Who would think that a Severed Head would be one of the most desired tiki mugs in existence. So now I'm doing the finishing touches on the monster trio and playing with jazzing up some of the heads. It's all fun.

Tabu thanks Tabu, its fun using your name. I'll be trying to make the hair even better. Practice is all it takes.

hang10tiki thanks hang10 the shrunken head is in the works and I've had the most fun with it.

lunavideogames it will be awhile before I know about DTB in April but I'll keep in touch with you. Have fun at the weddings and convert the attendees to tiki during the receptions.

Out and About and Updates on all the projects in the works.
How do I include these images in my posts?

This is Dan's birthday month. He gets to choose where we go whenever we are having lunch out. We went to Alpha Fired Arts for new glazes. It is close enough for a stop at Claim Jumpers and their Mother-load sandwich. It's not on the menu you have to ask for it.

Dan loves to bump tikis from spot to spot and in the end Beach Bum Bob was given a place of honor in the Tiki Jungle room.

I opened the kiln and so far in the warmer weather it has worked just fine. No explosions, all the arms and women stayed on the the bowl for 19tikichef62's bowl.

Dan filled the wash and rinse tubs for me.

I got the scrubbers ready. All 30 Severed Heads have now been bisque fired and washed.

Tender loving care with this one.

All the new glazes from Alpha needed glaze tests. This is how I do it as fast as possible. Three lines of glaze, then do the bottom two again and then do the first on again. So each test has an example of 1, 2 and 3 coats of glaze as well has showing how well it shows detail on the side.

Our cat hangs out with our PNG alligator and watches while I wash.

This is my entry into the bowl show at the Tonga Hut tomorrow. Mahalo Tiki is transporting it there for me. We meet for lunch today. The name is Pele Rising. She is coming out of the volcano with streams of lava and rock. The War God is by Joniece Frank of Frankoma Pottery the rest is by me.

To change the Ren Clark severed head into a shrunken head I closed the mouth and eyes and then stitched them with clay rope. I closed up his nose with tusks. I will carve a lot of wrinkles and pull lines into the head after it dries.

Well, that's all folks for today. Now I've got to get to work. Thank you for the visit. Cheers, Wendy
