hang10tiki I don't know if it had the chip before or after Dan's ownership. It's a wonderful mug and Dan is so happy you gave it to him. Repairs started my entire tiki journey so it's good to not forget how to do them. Once I brought supplies and repaired things at a friends home on the way to Tiki Oasis.

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

I ran out of slip for casting so it was time to go to Alpha Fired Arts in Sacramento on Alburn Blvd.
I go inside to pick out glaze while Dan takes the jugs for filling. We get them filled 1/2 of the way so I can add water and they are easy to mix.

Surprise!!! They had tiki mugs. You may buy an unglazed mug and then rent studio time and their glazes. You do the work and they will fire it for you.

Here's their back storage room and

here's Dan putting lids back on the filled jugs.

Afterwards we went to a few thrift shops and antique stores before returning home. We liked this tiki but it weighed about 1/2 of a pound which to us means mass produced so we left it behind.

Dan was thrilled to find a Hawaii goes percussion album.

At another place we saw this huge painting on tapa cloth. $165. We have no wall space left so

its still there on Marconi at the Discovery shop.

Every day is a fun tiki day. Cheers, Wendy
