I bought 17 gallons of slip for who knows what projects that will come up in the future. I'm happy you think they are fun. There were no need glazes today but I bought a few that I had used up. Tiki Socialite hang10tiki another fun comment. I like that. TikiHula I'm going to turn that Moai into a stand alone tiki. It was more fun to carve on him than on Tiki Bob. In the future I'll do both. I like PNG style too. Tiki Ano thank you so much for Dan's birthday surprise. We really like your Kahiki Fireplace trivet but we'll never risk chipping it with a hot plate. It will be in the danlovestikis collection forever. NOTICE: Dan and I are not going to Tiki Caliente or Tiki Oasis this year. We will be at Tiki Kon in Oregon in July. Please say hi if you see us there. ================================================================================================================================= It's always scary to open the kiln and always a relief to find that nothing blew up. Everything on the first shelf was fine. Everything on the bottom shelf was fine. While Dan filled my wash buckets with water I unloaded the kiln. I had all of this to wash and then Dan would carry it in to the dining room table. It was fun to see how far up the volcano the drink level will go. This washer lady was done for the day. The very next day it was time to sand and load the kiln again. Dan and I set up the work station. I got out my favorite tools for sanding and fine tuning. This mug is different from all the rest of the Sacramento crawl mugs because while muskrat was at my home he said how much it would mean to him to have Kiki's put on his mug. I sanded and fine tuned all of these mugs. Dan dusted them all and I loaded the kiln. Bottom shelf. Top shelf. Two days later we unloaded the kiln and got ready to wash again. Top shelf A-OK. Bottom Self A-OK. This was a relief because Viking Bob had so much clay added. Now it was time to wash again. This is Tiki Atari's fogcutter mug. This is one that I worked on until it looked like the master from the 3D printer. I will use it as a map for all the rest of the mugs I do for him. One of the crawl mugs being washed. Eventually I will glaze everything on this table plus all the crawl mugs which are adding up on another table. But first I will glaze everything on the Wish List #4. The answer is yes we work 7 days a week. We love tiki and all our tiki buddies. Thank you for being there for us. Cheers, Wendy and Dan
