Thanks a bunch, Tiki Kaimuki.... You could match them to the picture or just get a SignPainters 1-Shot enamel color chart which is the paint I use! :wink: Just kidding! |

More glaze experiments. This is turning out to be the most challenging part. |

I like the black one. Are you mixing your own colors or not getting what you expect from off-the-shelf glazes? [ Edited by: SilverLine 2008-02-20 16:00 ] |

Thanks, Silverline. I'm just using off the shelf glazes right now. Even application is the biggest challenge. The black one was supposed to come out flat, but it fluxed and got all glossy. |

Yeah Hip, I think an antiqued type white might be interesting for a future edition... Harro, thanks for the compliment. Haole'akamai, yes I will be most likely drinking out of one of my mugs at FI on Saturday. Stop by and we'll tip a mug to our newly toasty weather. |

I think I like the black 'n' brown the most too - if you can get the black matt or satin finish (I'm thinkin OMC moai) you're on to a winner! |

Production of this mug has been plagued with technical difficulties, one mold moderation, and incapacitating hangovers. |

Still working on getting some more Kapulapu done, but here is a sneak peek at my newest mug, PALEMBEI - fresh out of the mold. |

You got one out, terrific, looking forward to see your glaze choices. How tall is this mug? It looks pretty large. Hope to see a few handpainted editions. |

I have to echo Cass on a hand-painted version, perhaps with a subtle underglaze! Great work, Falin! sandz |

Sweet looking mug TK. He's obviously PNG in spirit, but has that quirky Poly-pop/cartoony vibe to him. You (and OO/Cass too for that matter) are great at interpreting your source material without aping the original artefacts. Putting it next to the first mug , and even though they're quite different, I can see a distinctive Tiki Kaimuki style developing. |

Mahalo, OceaOtica and blacksandz, some detailed underglaze fun is definitely going to be part of the run. Of course, I will be bothering Cass for more tips. |

Here's a new little shot glass guy I busted out because I had extra plaster when I was making my Palembei mold. No name yet... |

I got the first batch of glazed Palembei mugs out of the kiln. Check out the fun flavors. You should see these in the marketplace tomorrow. |

Great work TK. The matte looks good, and it seems you got a handle on the dot work. |

Mahalo OceaOtica, Croe67, and teaKEY for your kind comments. Things are starting to flow a bit better now. I'm trying to not lock myself into a certain number of any color, so it's more of artistic whim and in the end more fun- which is |
