ebtiki it's like having a fun party to read all these messages. Tiki Bob and I thank you. It's good to hear compliments because I make so many Tiki Bob's on the side that I always fear everyone will tire of him.

TikiAno glad you like the coconut bowl too. I think I liked the goblet even less than Dan. I'm layering a glaze on top so I don't know what it will look like next. It makes opening the kiln more fun.

I guess I have a thread that is full of fun posts for every taste. R rated is back on this page with KrakenHunterSteve's kickstarter topless mug. Oh No!

MadDogMike we have three cars (one inherited from my dad) that are close to 19, 17 and 12 years old. When one bites the dust I'll use the garage space and get a small kiln so I can fire a few things each day instead of waiting until I have a full kiln.

Fix your kiln so we can have more fun MadDogMike shows.

LoriLovesTiki please do get back to work on your ceramics. I need more threads to watch. (Little Lost Tiki start posting again.)
Teachers do have really hard jobs. I did some job fairs at high schools to promote Nuclear Medicine and the kids asked really hard questions.

My health plan is by Dr. Ornish. I bought his books on-line. I did it for 1 year and now I'm taking a semi-break by eating some good oils.

LoriLovesTiki I knew my painting was large but it's really large in the photo. Please know I did it for fun so you can always trade it in the future. The goof gives me the creeps.

KrakenHunterSteve It's great to see one of the kickstarter mugs in it's new home. Are you coming to our Sacramento crawl or am I shipping your mug? If I'm shipping PM your address to me ASAP. I'm boxing mugs that have to be shipped now.

I was back to glazing. Meet Beehive Tiki Bob.

I finished the three layers of goldenrod and cleaned up. Then I noticed the lid on the other side of the table.

Oh well got everything back out and went to work.

This glaze isn't supposed to have chunks so I may have a surprise coming when it fires.

The next day I added some black to the bee.

I worked on the faces and when they were dry I

covered them with 2 layers of clear. Bob's take a lot of work.

The bowl is fine with or without the lid. I just wanted to have the lines on the bowl match the lines carved on the Bob's. After I did that it looked like a beehive honey pot.

More glazing tomorrow. Thank you all for the comments which are greatly appreciated. Cheers, Wendy
