Thank you. Today I hit 480,000 views and 240 pages. 350 makes a book. I wouldn't be here without all of you. Wendy WaikikianMoeKele that's why the Wish Lists are so fun. I've paired up with a lot of you who had great ideas. dartharnie Ahhh, you are right they did work out together. TikiAno you are a smart detective. I'm going to do a glaze experiment with the Uke Bob. I wished I'd done his face in white so I'm going to see if I can do that on top of the glaze that's already there. One out one covered, I didn't think of that. Maybe everyone will be happy that way. I was thinking a volcano bowl gone crazy or a short torch? There's so much wonderful advice on TC for artists. I love it here. GROG I'm glad you survived your kitty. Your mug survived the kiln. Now you must survive the 16th to keep us all happy. Lastly you'll need to get that ticker fixed and party on... tigertail777 so many good ideas. I love reading them. LoriLovesTiki I liked it better too. I was surprised that when I copied it I had left over space. I just realized that I was putting them as close together as they were on the fired mug. Well the mug shrunk as it dried and it shrunk when it was bisque fired. So the first mug had greater separations when sculpted which I didn't do as I copied. I hope Maddy liked having a set of Sea Horses. (Can't wait for Hale to take over this tale.....) me too because I haven't heard if Maddy liked her mugs or the story yet. Hale Tiki I'll be reading from hotel computers, get busy! Dan and I were watching an old episode of Fringe. The agent was sneaking through an old house and as she was passing into another room we saw these fuzzy things in a closet. We think they look like Moai lights that hang from the electric wire. Possible? Progress Report on the Sacramento Crawl Mug and misc. first. Here's the volcano paired with its bowl. Soon I'll experiment with lava. The crawl mugs have all been poured, bisque fired and washed. Next up I'll be glazing them. Dan's afraid our table will collapse. There's around 300 pounds of tikis on this table. I cover them with these plastic table clothes to keep the dust off until I get back to work. Here comes the last edition from danlovestikis of the Hale Tiki Mug saga. All done and out of the kiln. Dan boxed the mug and off it went to Hale Tiki and his big event. OK Lucky (Hale Tiki) your turn. I hope you'll post here as well as on Ohana. I'm leaving for Tiki Kon and you could keep my thread alive. Thank you all for sticking with the story of this man's love for Maddy. These mugs were only a small part and I was happy to contribute but wait until you see the rest of the story! Cheers, Wendy [ Edited by: danlovestikis 2013-07-09 12:54 ]
