Zombie Torch Update.

Biotron2000 is deciding which one of these he wants and then the other three are for sale. They are all 1/1's.
$125 plus shipping. This ends the run of 50 Zombie Torch mugs with the flame. One the Wish List I will make a
mug version without the flame. Mahalo Tiki Will have 7 of these at his booth at Tiki Oasis.

Sold Out last two went to KonaKaiBaby and Tom Grill. Thank you all.

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

Update on the Sacramento Crawl mug due the first weekend in October.

There are so many steps to making a run of mugs. While I worked on painting the Zombie Torch mugs I printed out the autograph cards for the mugs. Then one evening while the TV was on I numbered them and autographed them. I used the inspiration for the mug, a advertisement in an old phone book, as the card. Since I will eventually make another 40 I kept writing 100 and then I had to tear up the card. There will be 60 in this color for the crawl. Some of the rest may even have a different bar name when I use it for the Wish List. The mold will be destroyed when 100 have been made.

Dan taped 60 boxes for me. I numbered them

on the top and two sides and lined them up down a hallway.

I added the appropriate card to each box.

Now it was time to start glazing the mugs. First I put a piece of tape on the bottom of each one.

Now as I glaze the layers on the bottom no glaze will reach the areas where the tape is located.

I did this all in my dining room. Scary! No spills.

After the bottoms had a chance to dry some I pulled off the tape.

All these blank areas will be where I number the mugs 1/60 etc.

I hope you are all out having a good Saturday. I'll be glazing away but later we are meeting Mahalo Tiki for dinner.

Cheers, Wendy
