Gotiki your art keeps getting better & better in fact, your contribution to the "Brick & Mortar" "Tis the season to be Tiki" show is outstanding, some of the best originals Ive seen yet. This photo above the "Go-mo-Bowl is my favorite, what a great mid century look... a classic in deed. I want one please. The lamps & fiberglass lamp shades are especially packed with coolness too. If you haven't been to the show at Brick & Mortar get out there & have a see it's a fantastic group show you won't want to miss. |

Thanks, Mike - Matt - Kelly -Ben - Buzzy/Hank? Here is a new hand made sculpt I made, It's called "Skullcano" I had made this originally as a solid sculpt a year ago, But it was to hard to mold, It didn't turn out, I tried twice, Even with a four part mold, To much 3D action going on here! So, I made a one of a kind for Grog's show, Or I might sell before and make another? Each skull is hand carved, I was going to go three skull levels high as my original sculpt, But trying to keep the weight down on this mini bowl: I also was playing with some red clay, I bought for some of my new PNG stuff coming soon, I know this sculpt isn't a PNG look, But I thought I'd try the red clay on a Tiki Idol looking mug, It's in a rough sculpt stage, But you can get the idea, I was going to make this also as a one of, But I think I might mold this and make a few, I like the way it looks! Lastly, I wanted to see what two different clay bodies turn out looking like on this one of a kind mug, Red and White, I overlaid the white body clay over the red on the bottom, Just to see what it turns out like, You can see the red clay in the circles, Overlaid with the white clay, Might be a cool effect? We will see! Whatcha Think? Mahalo! Gogo |

The skullcano is way cool! I like the red clay, I've been playing with some brown Laguna WC373 because I like the natural clay colors. I even tried a 3 clay body piece with porcelain, WC373, and SOldate 60 for white, brown, and yellow. |

Very Cool Mike, The different clay colors should be a cool look, I used Aardvark clay, But probably very much the same as Laguna clay? I was just going to clear glaze and let the clay bring out there natural colors, Instead of glazing over them, Thank You for the awesome kiln plug! Mahalo! Gogo |

Cool Gogo, I dig the Gogo style "Vicious Virgin" Wahines and the hut is real unique, I'll move in there with Ken, we will through a party & hell, we'll invite ya :roll: Will the volcano be deep so that it will hold dry ice? All your new stuff looks great I am likeing the red clay mug. Looking forward to seeing all the new stuff at the Tonga Hut... |

Thanks All, For the kind responses back, My new " Goon Bowl " I didn't add too much detail on this bowl, I want to heavy glaze it, The small details would be lost any way, I'll post some pictures when done, I want the glaze to be the art more than the sculpt on this one! If that makes sense! I made the center a dry ice chamber, Instead of a flame chamber, The cut out of the eyes are higher than the liquid level, So it should bubble and smoke pretty cool? Whatcha Think? Cheers! Gogo |

I have been working with some different red clays, I made some pendents to start about 6 months ago, I wanted a different look, Then some mugs about 2 months ago, I wanted to try out different glazes on darker bisque, Instead of a white bisque, After trying a bunch of glaze combinations, I like the way this turned out the best on this pendant: Using red clay is very messy! Like Blood, It stains clothes and just get on everything! Like being in a surgery center! Here is my latest un-glazed red clay bowl "Big Red" After glazing a bunch of pendants, I know how I want to glaze it, And which glazes work and don't, Glazing on a darker bisque is different than a white for sure, I have learned, Trail and Error!: Whatcha Think, Cheers!

I have finally completed my red and white clay one of a kind mug, Not from a mold, I inlaid the eyes New Zealand blue/green abalone and the bottom California brown/caramel abalone. Also my all red clay, One of a kind mug, I glazed it so it looks like it was buried for a couple hundred years, It really looks very old in real life! Whatcha Think? Cheers! Gogo |

Thanks Teakey and Mike, Mike I used an industrial grade glue, It goes on like Elmers Glue but sets up very well, You'd need a pry-bar to get those abalone shells back out! Thanks Guys! Cheers! Gogo |

Some new stuff, First is double tiki bowl, I like the way my glaze work turned out on this: Next is a simple bowl, With a dry ice chamber inside, The eyes have holes in it, For a cool effect: Next, NOT TIKI! My lidded rum jug, Has a straw hole in the top: And Lastly is my one of a kind Skullcano bowl, Each skull is hand sculpted and then attached to a hand formed volcano: Whatcha Think? Cheers! Gogo |

Lookin' good. I like the colors on the bowl. If you had buried a cotton cord in the swordfish of the bowl, you could have used him as a straw :) |

Thanks a bunch Eric, All ways nice to see you, Thanks for including Dani and I in your fun events. Here's a fun mug, Just out of the mold, I made a copy of this vintage mug, I made my version without the mustache, eyebrows and added a raised LUSH on the fez hat, To make a fun mug for: The Grand Mystic Poobah "Marty Lush" of The Tikiyaki Orchestra, It's the Marty Lush Mug, I'll just be making a small batch of these, Just for fun! For Marty, I'll post pictures when I clean up the mold lines and it's fired and glazed. Thank You! This is just a for fun mug for the swap meet show. I'm not selling these.

GoTiki, It was nice to meet you and Dani at the book signing yesterday. I was very unfamiliar with your work until today. With that said though after looking through the many pages here Im a bit concerned. If you put your name on somthing that is of bought molds or found objects I would reccomend you alter it much much more. Be very carefull as you might be infringing on others rights. Darn you! You beat me to the treasure chest... got mine coming out in a couple weeks. Thought I had come up with an original idea. Darn it! -m [ Edited by: stuckieshaft 2009-03-08 22:51 ] |

I haven't had a chance to make something in awhile, Since Dani and I are getting Hitched! How Lucky am I to get such a Great Gal! I have been very busy!
