littlegiles and Tiki Ano this is certainly the year of travels for us. It's fun to share the photos with you all. It was fun to mess up our suitcases. I love those squishy pigs too. I hope to find more here in the states.

The kickstarter mugs will look very different fired so I'm anxious too.

==========================================================================

All I had to do for Tiki Atari's topless version of his mug was to do the inside and the skirt to match and to do the rest in Teal Blue like the earlier version. When I thought about that it seemed that it might clash. So I decided that the lettering needed to also match the skirt and then these mugs just demanded more. So I did a full blown painting for each one. Three layers of every color.

Even though these are not my mugs I do have my name on the bottoms of those I altered and glazed so I need to do the best possible for each one.

Another one completed.

==================================================

Here are a couple more photos of the last two and then the line up of the Tiki Rockettes.

Details and more

details.

=======================================================

When we are back from Tiki Kon I have the 5 mugs, that I carved differently from these, left to glaze. I'll fire them with Tiki Hula's crawl mug.

Then I will submerge them in water to look for flaws. Those areas if there are any will be re-glazed. When they dry I'll cover them with clear glaze and fire them again. They will change one more time.

But for now we are on a Tiki Hunt/Vacation/Tiki Kon party week. Of course I'll be sharing photos or Oregon.

Cheers, Wendy
