hang10tiki I hope to do many more paintings on mugs and bowls in the future. It's fun to change it up. I have so many ideas my head is bursting!!!

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

Well guess what. I have finished up all the shipping of mugs and now I'm already ahead of schedule. It is time to work on the Sacramento Crawl mug for 2017
and Wish List #7. The fun is about to begin.

So here is how I get started.

During the open period I received many requests to hold a place for a custom project. I wrote them on post-it notes and stuck them in a folder.

Now I have taken each name and put them on a Wish List #7 binder. Many of them are no more than the persons name. Some will drop out some will come up with over the top designs for me to create. If you are just one of my "names" then get to work I need your project idea. At the moment there are 53 in the binder that could be a years worth of work so it's good I'm starting early.

Next Dan and I went to Alpha and filled up all the empty jugs.

I've put Dan back to work.

Some I prepped with water so they are good to go.

This year I have actually started on the crawl mug in the month of October, right after the 2016 crawl ended. There is a story that goes with this years design that I will share.

I'm excited to have these projects to look forward to. I don't go in order. If I feel like doing a Tiki Bob that's what I do, if I feel like doing something really hard then that's what I do. Every day is fun because I never know until I look at the binder what I will choose for that day.

I hope you will all join me as I work through each project. I post because I enjoy your comments even when they are short. Then I know I'm not alone here.

Cheers and here's to the next year, Wendy and Dan
