I am so happy to have Tiki Central back. I missed all of you my tiki buddies. Let the show commence.

WooHooWahine we had so much fun because we found tikis for Dan! I would say he was the only one to receive presents on my birthday but I just opened the card from hang10tiki, MadDogMike and the super cute luggage tag from you and Soccer Tiki.
Thank you all for the wishes.

muskrat thank you. I've been thinking about how to glaze your crawl mug with the special color. Hummm.

hang10tiki thank you for the card and the encouragement to get back to posting. Here goes...

Finally I finished the Tiki Atrai's Innsmouth Horror in Clay mugs and I've shipped them off. I did my best as they were a challenge like none other. Even the Wish Lists have been easier.

After glazing with the under-glaze, firing and dunking in water and adding glaze I was able to cover them in clear and fire again. That time I saw more areas that could have used more glaze in the background. So I did that and fired a again.

After all the work I decided that I could make the girls prettier if I hand painted them with enamel and so I ended up going over every mug and enhancing each area that I could.

My messy art room with the mugs waiting their turn.

They had to dry overnight and then be baked in the house oven.

First set of topless mugs.

The last three topless mugs and one more.

The last set of custom mugs.

Carefully double boxing the mugs.

Packaging to mail to Tiki Atari. I'm waiting to hear that they made it clear across the country.

Professor G takes wonderful insect images so when Dan found this praying mantes I took a photo.

Now it's time to join Dan and Tiki Hula. I've got mugs to glaze! Wendy
