Beachbumz I remember Dan running from the beach yelling my ears are full of sand what do I do? I just said honey go dunk your head back in the ocean.

hang10tiki your Goof looks great. It's always fun to see where each swap ends up. Dan's playing your CD's every day.

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

The weekend started with Dan pruning in our backyard. He's earning more tiki money because I get to glaze instead of help.

Tiki Hula came by to help me out with a future project.

Mahalo Tiki came for a visit and we discussed glazing on each of his mug projects. They have a kiln and they are doing the work themselves.

I was so happy to see Mary's skirt. It had a Frankoma War God on the front and back. I'll be sending this photo to Joniece Frank. I help Joniece keep a record of how her design shows up. It's even been in a Tiki Art Shark painting and one by flounder.

ebTiki likes to see our trip hauls of tiki items. We were gone 13 days and searched everywhere along the way. Here's what we found.

I don't know why I picked up a mug of a British looking man but I did and found out he's special.

Have you figured out why?

It's Captain Cook who discovered the many islands we all love. Hawaii the best among them.

At the Portland Expo Dan found a skull lamp.

Then at an antique store he found a lamp that looks like an alien. Dan has a lamp fetish.

Here's the total haul.

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

I continue to work on the kickstarter mugs. 8 hours to glaze one was giving me a headache so I now spend two days to do one.
If only glaze took one layer instead of three to finish. These are all done with underglaze which is like chalk. That way it stays put and doesn't travel.

Here is the mug I altered. I choose to do a night scene and Tiki Atari said he'll call this the lake version rather than ocean.

The areas that have been left white will match the inside of the mug. A blue with silver sparkles as shown on the glaze test earlier. The whole mug will sparkle.

Thank you for visiting I look forward to your critiques. Wendy
