Hale Tiki it is posts like yours that keep me working long hours and doing my best at all times. I'm having a blast sharing all that we went through for Maddy. It will be fun when you take over the story. The last post on Maddy's second mug will be tomorrow and then it's your turn.

GROG our cat is allowed in Dan's jungle room and since her birth in 1999 she has never broken a mug. We love cats but only have her a SPCA rescue. I bet you have a cat.

lunavideogames maybe a short lei. You made some very good "points".

Atomic Tiki Punk I am reading your mind!

Hale Tiki after I'm done here with mug #2 I hope you'll post lots of photos of those mugs in use.

Tile tests
#1 is the new background glaze that I picked out. It is not designed to run. The spots in it flower out into brown spots. I thought that would tie in the brown tiki.
#2 is the runny choice that Hale Tiki made that didn't work for the outside. I decided that I would use it inside the mug and spot it on the outside.
#3 Octopus, #4 Puffer and #5 sea horses.

So first up #2 on the inside.

My choice #1 on the background with Hale Tikis #2 spotted here and there.

#3 Octopus

#5 Seahorses

Espresso glaze, brown, for the tiki.

#4 Puffer

I let it dry outside and then into the kiln to fire.

Finished photos tomorrow. Thank you for following this story. Your comments and visits make it so much fun. Wendy
