This is a book to keep us going. I did 160 votes to get Sven above the now finished Tiki Kon. It didn't work so I gave up. Today I see that others took over and got it there. Now I know how much effort it is to be on the list and I thank you all for putting me there recently. LoriLovesTiki thank you. The book is mainly history with wonderful photos. This book is a keeper. I know one day I'll read of people upset that they didn't get a copy and now it's $400 on eBay. =================================================================== Tiki Ano you are over the top kind. Thank you for the gift of the ultimate hot chocolate mix from your http://www.JoesOnTheNose.com store. It's so good that Dan starts each day with a cup of coffee with your mix added. We hung your tiki plaque in our family room right next to your Kahiki fireplace art. We are now able to sip and view and think of you! I'm working on the Alien swap art. I couldn't find a 14 x 18 frame at a thrift store. I was told at Arron Brothers that this is an odd size. I was surprised because I bought the canvas there. They only had one design left in this size but the 1 cent sale was going on so I got two. I opened the kiln. I wouldn't have to worry about shocking the ceramics with a temperature change. It's been hot enough to warm up the water in my tubs. Top shelf. Glaze Tests. Tiki Hula's one of a kind Sacramento Crawl mug. The inner cups will hold burning rum. The regular run doesn't have these. Dan helps so much that he's on the bottom of all the Sacramento Crawl mugs. The color I added to the Bumatay fish changed them up just right. Tiki Atari's kickstarter Horror In Clay mugs are ready to come out. The inside of a kiln is dusty so I washed and rinsed the mugs. They still need the clear glaze layer. The colors will change again when the clear glaze is added. Water changes it enough to show problems. I learned this from MadDogMike. The pink I added to the nipples of the topless mugs turned white. I don't think it's going to work. So here's one save by doing this extra firing. This mug will be very dark. All the white areas will be blended into the rest of the mug with a blue sparkle glaze. These are all wet and I found other problems that I'll show tomorrow as I fix them. Cheers, Wendy
