I've been posting more photos on instagram than here so if yer interested take a look ("tikianos") to see the step by steps on some of these. First up, a tiki platter. Okay, it's more of a plate (around 10" round). There are two small carrying handles with tapa carved into them.

Some out of focus close-ups:

More tiki tiles. I've been enjoying playing with underglazes and different clay bodies. Both the platter and these tiles were made out of a different clay that's somewhat (somewhat) "interesting." Interesting in a way that I'll be happy when it's all gone. :wink:

The "Get Kraken" Tentacle mug came out of the kiln. Tiki Ari has mixed feelings about this design.

To scale (against a 4 month old human). I'll post a photo of with some close-ups later. The interior has a groovy glaze combo. Please note, this mug design is not necessarily child-safe. I'm still learning this parenting thing. Everyone survived the photo session, so please refrain from calling child services. Thank you.

Mahalo for the visit!
