lunavideogames Hale Tiki came up with a couple of challenging assignments for me. He did pop at Hukilau!

lunavideogames the photo I posted is one from a museum. Babalu did an excellent mug tribute as you show up for bidding on eBay.

Holler Waller Hale Tiki did a good selection of parts. It's going to be fun to show how it was done.

Chippy did you see the Badge Bob? Your Chippy mug has inspired other law enforcement personal to ask for one that suits them.

Photos and drawings sure help.

hang10tiki while there will be no reruns there will be highs and low points of failure.

Next up is the start for the mug that Hale Tiki wanted made for his special lady.
He wanted a sea-life mug with happy faces. on the back he wanted her favorite tiki.

I showed him the sea-life sculpts that I'd done for Roge's lamps.

He wanted a puffer, sea horse and an Octopus. I found this octopus as an example.

This is her favorite tiki, one of mine too.

Hale Tiki did this drawing of how the mug should look. I had all his glaze choices except one for the seahorse which I purchased.

For the background of the mug he wanted this glaze that I'd used for the last swap. I told him that it would run but its what he wanted. My first mistake with his mug was to say OK. If a glaze melts to have streaks it is because it is made to move on the surface. It doesn't care if something is in the way.

Progress Report on the Crawl Mug

Check List

1. Pour 50 mugs for the crawl. Check/done.
2. Pour enough to satisfy Dan and do glaze tests. Should be done by the end of the week.
   

I managed to sand 12 but then I've had to stop for a few days to recover.

I sent Dan out to watch the molds dry but he took a book to read so the time would pass faster. Sneaky boy!

Until tomorrow, Wendy
