slowhandtikiman thank you very much. You are on the list for one of the latest batch of Hot Tub Hula Girls. Do you want to come to our home to pick it up this weekend or do you want to wait until the Tiki Modern mug is also done and ready to pick up?

You have seen your mug when I sculpted it. I will match it to the book as close as possible but the sculpture is not exactly the same. I can do the white in the tapa if that is what you prefer.

Thank you for all the comments that have made my day!

bamalamalu thank you. That is one of my favorite glazes and I thought it would look perfect on the octopus. I'm glad to hear a confirmation.

hang10tiki Dan loves it when you do this to him. You sure are creative. He wanted me to print them all to hang on the wall. I told him the coconut Dan would be enough to hang for now. Thank you so much for all the effort. They were all really great.

lunavideogames Dan says thank you.

lunavideogames I am so happy that you like the glaze and how he looks. I am looking forward to you using it at the Bali Hai.

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

Wish List #6 continues on with the work on the Hot Tub Hula Girls nearing the end.

I removed the last of the touch up mugs from the kiln.

Dan sanded all the bottoms for me and brought them into the house.

I washed off the dust.

Now all 30 mugs are waiting to have the faces painted on.

60 eyebrows, 60 eyes and 30 mouths. I also touched up the hair and flowers where ever I could improve them.

I glazed the yellow with pink polka dot swimsuit top twice. I decided to paint it with enamel.

The yellow is done and

once it dried I did the pink polka dots.

All done and drying overnight. The enamel will boil in the oven if it doesn't dry for at least 12 hours.

Mahalo Tiki wanted two mugs to sell at his booth at Tiki Oasis 16.

He only had one on order and this is it. I may get his second one done in time for the event. I'll try.

One of my fb friends ordered this one. She wanted the girl totally tattooed. It will ship to Sweden when it is finished baking.

It took a few days but now they are ready to bake after they dry. Just to say it one more time. The next batch of 30 will sell for $100 each plus shipping. That will make a total of 90. The next ones if I make more will cost more. These wear me out.

Cheers, it's time to play with Dan. Wendy
