TikiHula I owe you a puffer from the contest you won so long ago. I finally made enough that you can choose from them. I'm so glad that the bowl turned out well that the comments here are good ones. Thank you.

LoriLovesTiki having a crawl is the highlight of the year here in our area. We have also done Tiki Tuesdays where we would meet up once a month at a restaurant. It's great to connect with friends who enjoy tiki.

I'm thrilled with the centerfold! I love saying I (leaving Dan out of the statement) am a centerfold model (thank you Tiki Hula).
I took the magazine to my 45th HS reunion last night and said that before showing it to old friends. We were all old!

Atomic Tiki Punk I'm so glad. I'm going to glaze the entire table of tikis and I'm starting again. I need to fill that kiln to fire. I need GROG to come and glaze for me!

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

Last night Dan and I went to my 45th High School Reunion.

We sat with my friend Eric and his wife Sue who was Dan's friend in a different high school. Our friends married and for a time we lived next door to them.

We bought $10 worth of raffle tickets and very few attendees did, lucky us we won three great prizes!

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

Another step for the crawl mugs is to make a signature card. I can't seem to get the gold highlights to show up in the photos. I may just go with a card with the mug before I enhanced it.

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

Now that the kiln is waiting for the next load I'm back to glazing again.

This is Slow Poke Bob. Somehow I made an alien snail.

After I glazed the insides I let it sit upside down to have the extra run out. Since the surface is clean I was able

to use this brush to pick up the glaze and to put it back into the jar.

I did the face in underglaze and then

coated it with clear.

He looks happy. Three times I did this glazing.

Next is a Tiki Bob coconut bowl.
There are so many nooks and crannies on this one.

The inside and lip is glazed to be white.

First layer done and I'm letting it dry before I do the rest.

It's fun to be home. As soon as Dan unwraps his tiki treasures and I take photos I'll post our trip.

Cheers, Wendy
