A dear friend of ours has passed away. He was here on Tiki Central using his real name Steve Soto.
He was kind and loving. Dan first met him in high school and re-connected through tiki. I wish you
all could have known him. Someone posted this photo of him with the first ceramic I ever made.
It brought back a lot of fun memories.

Life goes on...

littlegiles all crazy fun. I work more hours retired!

hang10tiki this is step two. Make em, bake em, glaze em, bake em and check em and ship em. Lot's left to do.

ebtiki got the first Tiki Bob bowl I ever made. Dan came up with his own design which will replace this one on his shelf. I'll share it when it's ready.

TikiHula Dan's still happy how you helped me while he played records.

LoriLovesTiki sorry Lori. At least you'll have a great kitchen as your prize for all the hard work.

Polynesian Paddy March 24 so sorry but the contest closed Monday night. Now we are waiting to see who wins. Thanks for trying.

Today I started a South Pacific Bowl. I had attached a Frankoma War God to the bowl but it didn't look right so I cut it off.

That left me with a War God with no backside. So I built a wall across the bottom and then put in a clay plug which I squished around to make a floor. This will hold a tea light.

Then I cut out the eyes.

Cleaned up and ready to dry.

I'll eventually show the bowl from which this was removed.

I'm taking the rest of the night off. I worked from 8 am until 7 pm and I'm beat.

Cheers, Wendy
