I want to pretend that I'm an artist too :D

First, I want to thank the TC artistic community for your inspiration, your willingness to share your technical knowledge, and your encouragement. It's hard to decide what to post, what would be representative of my "art". I'll start with my first clay attempt and hopefully you'll be able to see some progress. I love to experiment and I'm not afraid to fail.

I wanted a mug to match my first carved tiki, sort of a mascot in the grand tradition of Mr Bali Hai. Also my first attempt at mold making (July '08)

In a “finishing frenzy”, and not knowing any better, I glazed all my mugs with opaque glaze and pretty much ruined them! So I re-cast a new batch and glazed them with a semi-transparent glaze so that the woodgrain detail shows though.

Tahitian Cannibal Teardrop Trailer (Dec '11 - ?) I got a mostly finished teardrop trailer and am in the process of completing it. The Tahitian Cannibal design is one of Sophista-Tiki's Spoonflower fabrics that I based the decor on with Dawn's permission.
I replaced the cheap trailer axle and 12 inch wheels with a salvaged van axle, giving me real tires and real wheel bearings. Then new fenders, paint to match my car, and a Tahitian Cannibal magnetic decal.

I have been quietly updating my gallery without bumping it for the past year. But it is in danger of falling off the bottom of page 2 so back to the top it goes :lol:

I really enjoyed reviewing all of your work. Mike! Although I've seen many of your pieces separately I enjoyed seeing them all together. Your progress is remarkable! I'm always very impressed with you.

(my first TC post since the resurrection of the board)

Wow MDM, thanks for updating this post with MORE! Man you're a dynamo of great ideas. And you're game to try your hand at anything.

It was nice seeing some of these again. But it turns out there were a LOT that I missed over the years. Thanks for posting the update.
