MaukaHale the only people with the view virus lurk on Tiki Central.

littlegiles I am very fond of hugs. We will be at Kon Tiki and Tiki Oasis this year and every one there after. I do hope to meet you in person one day. I always like to hear that viewers like my step by steps. So many of them are repetitive but once in a while I think up something new.

GROG you may not have won this contest but your new rocky moai bowl is a winner. It looks great!

Holler Waller I think KTD will be knocking on my door tomorrow or Saturday or I'll see him at Dr. Tiki Mojo's party on Sunday.
I do have number of posting contests once in a while. Hummm maybe one for when it reaches 5000, should I?

TikiAno saving on shipping was a win for me. It was also a fun contest where I didn't know the answer until it happened.

TikiHula see you Saturday and see your photos below! Thank you I do so love numbers.

muskrat thank you too. When I started this thread in the summer of 2010 I remember being so excited when I reached 10 views a day.
Now I wonder who all the people are who do look. I was at the ceramic store today and the owner said that he mentioned he knew a tiki artist and the couple said that must be Wendy. I wish I knew who it was he talked to. It's just good old fashioned fun.

little lost tiki you always have wonderful words flowing out of you just like all the creativity I see in your art. You are so dear.

tigertail777 thank you he was a very special man who we will miss very much. I plan to keep posting so we'll see if it takes me another 3 1/2 years to hit 2 million. How many tikis will I have made by then?

Even if you don't attend Tiki Kon I hope we can meet up with you. Is that a possibility?

hang10tiki alas I think I'm too old to make it to a billion. But I'll try.

Thank you ebTiki for this photo.

Wish List #4. The kiln is open and it's time to wash everything inside. This time Dan got to relax and Tiki Hula helped me out.

Two tubs, one to scrub in and one to rinse in. Even though Dan had used an air compressor to blow off the dust from sanding
more dust comes from the mugs shrinking as the fire.

Tiki Hula unloaded the kiln and I scrubbed everything. I'm showing lost of photos with lots of angles so you can locate your project. Not everything was dry so if you don't see it yours will be in the next load.

Filling the tubs with water.

Opening the kiln. He sees his ALL DEAD bowl.

The patch that was made for the top had a separation line that I'll try to fill. At the worst when it glazes this line will show. It will still function fine as a rum holder.

Wendy washing view 2. How did that happen? Oh, I wanted you to see that I use a vegetable scrub brush and a sponge on a stick.

He's happy that using Magic Mend did fuse the head to the bowl.

I am so happy that I've finished scrubbing everything. Dan came out and carried all the trays into the house but first

a whole bunch of views. Can you find your project?

Now with my furniture covered and more tables brought into my home "tiki factory". They will dry and when I am ready I will start to glaze them. That will probably start on April 1st. Before then I will be asking for some of you to let me know the colors you wish for on your project.

Thank you all for making my life so much fun, Wendy
