hang10tiki that's really nice for a birthday. One year Dan talked to my boss and scheduled my birthday off without me knowing it. I got up at 5 am and then he surprised me. We had a super fun day. I look forward to any photos you would like to share.

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

Wish List #7 catch up photos. These I believe haven't been shown before. I've been skipping around. I even ship before the person sees what their wish looks like. I must be insane! So far no complaints.

Opening the kiln is so much fun but then I start seeing all the touch ups that need to be done. You just say "oh well" and get to work.

In addition to touch ups I do new wishes so I'll have the kiln filled.

The first lamp that is the tallest is for sale for $250 plus shipping but you have to wire it. The top comes off. The Wine colored lamp was made for Jeffery Bannow and the last lamp was for Dr. Tiki Mojo.

My new Rapa Nui alphabet mug. The one on the right with the rocky top and purple interior is for sale. $75 plus shipping.

This was the largest group of wishes before I started shipping.

One of the carved cracks became a real one. The first glazing didn't seal it.

For the second one I used this decorative glaze as a sealer and then poured in the glaze on the inside a second time.

I did a few touch ups to make the skull scarier too.

I touched up Robyne's mug.

I touched up Jeff Bannow's mug. I shipped it already I hope he has it.

So many touchups to make them right. It's worth it.

I dried them out in the heat.

Another kiln load.

Time to close the lid and turn it on.

Gecko'z once told me he had glazed and fired a mug 6 times to get it perfect. He is a master glazer.
