They cost so much less that way. Earlier this year we went to the South Pacific. We visited Moorea. I bought a shot glass there. This week I was in a thrift store and I saw this hanging on a hook. Looking closer I saw Moorea. $6. Great I would buy it. I took it off the hook and when I turned it over it had a Tahitian black pearl attached. I don't know if it is real or not but it sure is pretty. I have now hung it in one of the tiki rooms. =============================== Wish List #7 Progress Report. Lets start off with a story. Duane aka Psycho Tiki D and I were talking. I mentioned that I had two tiki places left to use as Sacramento Crawl mugs inspirations. He asked if I had ever considered using The Tahiti. It's a place that I had been going to since I was in junior high. I hadn't but I should consider it. The decorations there were more nautical but the name sure sounded good. Dan and I went to Tahiti this year. The name sure feels tiki. Then I forgot about this until lunavideogames contacted me about his Wish. He showed me these photos. He has a tiki bar he calls Tiki the Hut. He wondered if I could make a few mugs like this Tahitian tiki each year as he needed them. He also wants this girl made and attached to the tiki by a chain. So I thought Tahiti, Tahiti, Tahiti. It just keeps coming up. So I proposed this to him. I will use your photo to make a Tahiti Sacramento Crawl mug. If you like how I sculpt that mug then I will go ahead and make the girl too (just for him and not the crawl) and each year I will alter some of the crawl mug casts to fulfill his Wish. This way I am responsible for making the mold. If the mug is what will work for him that works but no matter what I will make this as the 2017 Sacramento Crawl mug. So the 2016 crawl has ended and it is still October. I need to start now because the Wish List #7 has the most orders I've ever attempted. So it's time to re-use the sculptors clay. I decided to break down the Bali Hai and the Tropics Pineapple. Don't look at the dust collection it's not displayed well. This clay is super hard so I put Dan to work beating it with a hammer into long snakes that heat will soften easier. He kept at it until I had enough for the Tahiti sculpture. That's it for tonight.
