ebtiki you are the first to mention it. We just opened our editions. It shows our obsession with everything tiki.

===========================
Friends Dan and I are the centerfold in this months issue of Tiki Magazine. We are the Tikified couple. Mitch Tobias took the photos of the collection and Tiki Hula took the photo of Dan and I. We are such hams that we are thrilled to be in this issue.

I will love to hear what you think of the spread.

This magazine is a must for collectors and historians. Every article is well done and worth saving. Queen Kamehameha aka Amy has kept up the high standards since taking over from Nick Camera. Please check it out.

Back to Bloody Maori's. The first severed Maori head I did for Dan wasn't my favorite so I told him I would make him another. Well that first head ended up in the issue of Tiki Magazine so now he'll not part with it but he still intends to take one of these heads. The other I will sell.

When these were first cast I altered one to have a high forehead and tongue sticking out. The other still resembles a Ren Clark head.

I used the squirt bottle to do the inside of the mouth.

Next I choose the glaze.

Then I did the insides of each mug.

I used the squeeze bottle to fill in all the moko carvings on the faces.

Another view and

one more view.

I used a wet washcloth to wipe one down and

then the other one.

I choose all the colors for doing the faces.

I did the mouths and eyes.

I choose the skin color that went well with the interior glaze.

Then I painted one and

then the other one.

I then did the bottoms of the mugs.

Next I wiped off the glaze on the eyebrows and

painted black on the space.

Now I've finished with doing the hair too.

Side view. The closest mug has an earring.

Now hopefully the black moko will show through the skin glaze.

What do you think? Wendy
