bamalamalu I would love to do an Alice Cooper mug someday.
Psycho Tiki D wore that jacket as a surprise and it made the photo possible. Usually he hides his extra arms.
I really hope the Diamond Head mug turns out. I would like to do more mugs in this style with these particular glazes.
My cold is just running it course. I am so lucky that I didn't have to return to work after the 3rd day. That is the very best part of being retired.

JenTiki thank you. I posted that information for the woman on facebook.

LoriLovesTiki thank you. I'm anxious to see if it worked. Otherwise I know it will work with Cover Coat under-glazes.

Danno thank you, I should call it Diamond Head Island.

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

When I make a Wish List I try to think ahead. I use small pieces of clay or I think about how things will fit into the kiln for firing. Here are a couple of extra projects that happened because of the Wish List #6.

I thought one these shapes looked like an egg. That made me think of Easter.

At Easter we make up two baskets for our great niece and nephew.

So I decided to make the kids a necklace each. On the back of one these was a split. I just stitched it up.

Question is which one for the boy and which one for the girl?

My thought process on making this Maori Lamp was that I had to fire the very tall green Tiki Bob and that would require having a shelf moved up high. I wanted then to have at least another tall piece to use up the space in the kiln.

This is the lid that goes on after the guts of the lamp are in place.

This is the forth one from the mold. Three lamps and one jar.

This is going to be the first one done in leaf green.

I've gotten this many ready to fire plus the volcano bowl.
I will do the broken Gilligan and then run the kiln as soon as they are dry.

I'm so anxious to see how they look fired. Wendy
