My apologies for all the pictures- the first few bowls were finished a bit ago, just never posted them here. Mike, cy, Jon, Amy, Wendy, thanks for the support!

Wendy, ha! Tiki Ari will get a mug when he's not likely to launch it into the air across the room. He DOES recognize tikis (he loves visiting the Bali Hai), and he's normally pretty good at recognizing Moais vs other tiki styles (admittedly, he's not really great at saying "Marquesan" correctly).

New Drinking Bowls. I liked working with suspended pieces hanging above/ around parts of these. Both are handbuilt- no molds were used.

The "Deep Kraken" Drinking Bowl:

The "Wrong Turn" Drinking Bowl- the wooden bridges lead to a fiery center (mini pedestal with room for flaming object)

New mugs drying out...

This one is "Westerwood," inspired by the (many) Westwood tiki mugs, whose designs, while dated, are pretty groovy.

These two masks were bisque fired, now waiting to be glazed. They are fairly tall- the smaller one is 12" high. They have holes for hanging in the top of the masks. Ceramic, and made out of slabs (clay). Not sure how to approach glazing, though most likely going for the "wood" look.

Mahalo for the visit!
