B Babalu Tiki Socialite Lemon Grove Joined: Nov 19, 2006 Posts: 2518	B Babalu Posted posted on Mon, Sep 7, 2009 9:14 AM Thank you guys for all the new kiddo best wishes...my little family seems to be growing by leaps and bounds :) I still haven't had to much opportunity to bond with the new little nipper...every time I go over there they tend to pass me the big one to entertain. That's ok, emPa will have his day. The closing over at the Freaky Boutiki was a ton a fun! The next day, a little Clay Jam just kinda happened over here...how cool is that! Queen Kamehameha, her husband Ray, and Kiki Von Tiki rolled into town. Squid, Sir B, Buzzy, Zaya, Mieko, My wife, and Marty the Lush were all over here. We had every chair around the big table taken up....sweet! Queen K did a wonderful job altering one of Squidly's piggies! I am bummed that I didn't get a picture of him before she drove off into the sunset with him. Keep him moist Queen K and you will be able to work on him for a long time. Here's a peek at the happenings... my pretty bride :down: Master Squids decided to wack on a one off Yipwan Mug. This guy is a beauty!! Altered Yip base with a hand built top part. Squid also started this new bowlie here...I've seen his sketches - EPIC! Kiki Von Tiki mastered this piggie, no problem...this is one truly talented lady here... MARTY LUSH - OMG!!! Look at this MUG!! Masterful. A week ago I went to the San Diego Art Museum to see the Oceanic Show...there were a couple of drums there that I just fell in LOVE with...they both have to be mugs! This first one is a late 19th Century PNG drum from the East Sepik Province - latmul people. This mug is a one of a kind - entirely hand built. Someone already has first dibs on this feller, but I may hand build a few more similar to this one if anyone is interested. This is a one off Yipwan Bowl that I tossed together...I worked this fella quite dry. I hope he makes it. Here's a nice little group shot :) I'm starting to get enough work together for another firing now... More soon!

And to Squid for giving me a pig to ruin! :) I had a great time hanging out with everyone, meeting some new people, and trying my hand at a little clay. And of course watching some true masters at work! My pig was inspired by this recent aquisition: I see plenty of details in the pics of my pig that need fixing! More work to do before glazing, right?

B Babalu Tiki Socialite Lemon Grove Joined: Nov 19, 2006 Posts: 2518	B Babalu Posted posted on Sun, Sep 27, 2009 11:29 PM Wow!! Two weeks away from TC...and it looks like you are all still around :) There is some amazing work coming up on everyone's threads! I need to take some time and start going through some posts. I've been swamped hammering down last minute projects for the boss lately. Some of you may already know this, but I gave my 9 to 5 job a 3 mths notice and now I only have about two more weeks left of this job that I've been at for the last 10 years. I'm going to follow my bliss kids...I'm moving into the studio full time. It's a scary kind of move, but it's one that I'm going to do. There is just too many things circling around in my head that need to come out...time to blaze a few trails! Life is just too damn short not to mix it up every now and again. LLT - Yes brother! - Revolution ENGAGED!! Robb - You sir are welcome over anytime...I've got an apt. downstairs where you can post up for a spell...jump on a plane! Tobor64 - Why thank you! I've got about four orders for remakes on that one drum mug...If you want on the list just let me know. I would be happy to throw one up on the table for you. Laojia - Thank you for bouncing in. I would love to make a trip back to France...It's stunning over there! Queen K - You lady are on FIRE!! That Pig of the Deep is coming along fantastically! I'll be happy to fire him for you...let's touch base. Kiki - Your piggie is perfect! Sorry, it's going to be hard to work any more on her...she dried out and I fired her. She's ready for some glazing now :) Mad Doggie - I just bounced over to your thread...You Sir are kicking some mondo butt!! Go brother GO!! Clarita - I'm so happy you come over and visit me from time to time. Your drums are wonderful! Mooney - Jammin' is right...get ready - 2 more weeks! Kelly - I'm real sorry you missed out on that Yipwan :( I can do a custom one up for you anytime you like though...I just can't make them look just like those last 33 castings. Hey lady, I still have your bowlie up on the table being glazed. This will most likely end up being my 09 opus. I know it's been on the table forever, but trust me darlin' - it will be sweet when it's done. Ok, this is going to be an image heavy post...lots to show... Let's start with this custom Yipwan mug. Sorry, this one is spoken for already. This PNG Drum mug is also spoken for, but I have a few order for a couple like it. If anyone is interested just let me know. It would be cool to work on them all at once if I could. This is a big mug. The Bullet Yipwan... I glazed this bowl to match a client's Yipwan mug. I wasn't sure how it would turn out, but I think it looks great! I going to remember this glaze combo and use it again. This is a Squidalu Custom Yip Mug. Squid is the MAN! This mug is just plain drop dead GORGEOUS Squidly!!...and it's still avalible if anyone is interested. Last but not least is a new drum mug that I started at the last Chop...the Chop Drum. I will do the first firing on this one tomorrow. Thanks for stopping in :) It' feels good to be back on TC again... Peace - [ Edited by: Babalu 2009-09-28 00:01 ]
