The WISH LIST #5 begins!

LoriLovesTiki I have started yours and then put it away until you got back to me. The first one in the group photo has the coconut in the best position for the most writing.

I made one with the coconut on the other side in case you liked that better but it drooped a bit so writing on the coconut wouldn't show quite as well.

We poured four because that is more productive than just doing one.

Here he is emptying the excess slip.

I worked on the right hand and then

attached it and added the coconut.

Then I started another one with the addition of a left hand.

Here's where I left off with the mugs in plastic until the next step.

I can leave them like this until you get back to me. I'm ready when you are. I have a batch of Tiki Bob's to fire and I would like to get yours in with them.

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

Here's what's on my Wish List.

Meet James AKA Pocketiki and Sian.

Recently Pocketiki wrote on facebook about how in the past I would bid against him on eBay all the time taking what he most wanted. This was sometimes true but because of those bids we became good friends. He once called me from England for a chat and then put Dan and I in his Pocketiki Magazine.

We just made a transatlantic trade so that he and Dan will have something they both wanted on Christmas day.

There is however the one he says got away. I won the auction and he and I split a set of mugs. However he still lusts after those I kept. Here they are in Dan's collection.

Dan won't part with them.

The one you see best on the left has Dan's on the side. These were hobbyists mugs. My best one with Dan on it arrives fractured but I glued it back together. What James wants are the teal and orange mugs.

What I want from James is one of his Duncan mugs made for the Tiki Mug book signing in England.

So here is what I decided to try.

James I'm forging two of these mugs to see if we can make a trade.

I even filled in the bottom of my mug to match theirs.

So James you could have these two with James on one and Sian on the other. No pressure at all because if you don't

want to make this trade, then I'll make them for Dan and toss his broken mug. Let me know. If you do want them what colors

do you want them to be?

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

I love clay. So many options and so much fun. I know that Tiki Ano is addicted too.

Time to paint on the swap mug. Cheers, Wendy
