VanTiki Handmade Mugs

Aloha all -

Many of you have been peeking at (and buying!) my handmade mugs over on the creating tiki forums under "interest in handbuilt mugs". Welp - the site is finally working well enough for me to put it in the Tiki Marketplace. Please take a gander:

http://www.vantiki.com

There are a few mugs still available from batch #2 (the cool green Pongo Log mug in the gallery is on hold, I'll know more in a day or so), and I have included a lot of info on pre-ordering mugs on this new version of the site.

Please be warned - I am no HTML genious! I slapped this together with iWeb, so I know it can get a bit wonky for Internet Explorer users. Firefox and Safari would be your best bet. A big mahalo to all Tiki Centralites for your advice and guidance!

Mahalo,
VanTiki

Let me be the first to congratulate you on getting the www officially up and going in the marketplace. You are making some very fine mugs that would be a wonderful addition to any tiki mug collection.

I think the website looks great. Especially for something you just "slapped together". Nice work!

Cool mugs man - well done!

...wearily I stumble across the stone threshhold of Tacky Manor. A crisp breeze blowing gently through the dimly lit hallway. CRACK!...a flash of blue light as the storm draws near. CRACK!...I calmly lay my pack upon the heavy wooden drum. rrrRUuummbBLE...I lay the tiny burnt remain of cigar upon the marble tray. I strike a match.
Lighting a candle next to the decanter of rum...CRACK! FLASH!...HOoowwWL! The candle flame is RIPPED from the wick.
I panic and from the darkness...a hellish kackle? echoing nearer...and closer...a laughter that chills my spine. kkKRACK!POP!SNAP!...FLASH...thier faces become clear and closer yet.

Suddenly I realize...

"Hey my mugs arrived from VANTIKI!" Chokest mahaloz vantiki! Da kine SsweeetT buggahs paka, braddah!!!
Smokin' heft and 'hand-feel' on these babies folks! If you're looking for unique mugs to add to your top shelf...these are not to be missed!!!

Great Job Vantiki! Loving the textures and glazes,brah!

Aloha Vantiki!

I am brand new to Tiki Central and this is my first post. I wanted my first to go to you - those are killer mugs! Some of the best I've ever seen! I've got to have one. All right, one of each.

I just received Jabber Pod #12 last week. The photos don't do this piece of art justice. When you hold this mug in your hand it has weight, texture and warmpth. Nothing like a commercial, vintage and modern, mug will give you.

Well worth every penny paid. It is truly a piece of art. It's a one of a kind and it's a stand out addition to any mug collection.

Mahalo to VanTiki.

Your mugs are completely kickass. I look forward to the day I can add one to my collection. Put me down for a trepanning mug!

Yo VanTiki...the natives are getting restless! Beware the mosquitoes buzzing around your head...maybe poison blowdartz...Headhunter Season??? :tiki:
