Hi Friends, I've had so many of you tell me how excited you get seeing your mugs in progress that I wanted to tell you that's how I feel when I see notes from you posted here. I love reading them and you reward me well. THANK YOU.

Dan wants to run some erronds so I'm going to do this in a very fast way. Abbreviations;

TRR,LLT,ZT,AT,DANNO,TT,BK and h10tiki I've read your notes and appreciate them very much.

I love to teach. Dan says I love to talk and to dispense information. I'm not sure if he's saying it in a kind way. When I was a kid a ran a school in my backyard during summer recess. I mainly taught art to the kids in my neighborhood. As an adult I ran the Nuclear Medicine Program for Sutter Hospitals, again teaching technologists how to do their jobs. Now I'm back to art and having so much fun posting here and connecting with all of you. It's joyful for me.

BK it would be fun to see the factory and to know if they still make tools.
h10tiki that's his favorite hat he wears it on our walks every morning. We did a longer one today.

Shoot Dan wants to leave now. I'll post photos when we get back. I made good headway on the painting yesterday. Later, Wendy

We are back._________________

Progress Report on Oasis painting

I painted some texture to the coconut trunks. Next up palm fronds added to the top.

I added an attachment point to the top and started the fronds.

One done.

All done.

Have a variety of colors to use for plants and trees. See the spray bottle. To keep my paints from drying out I spray them every few minutes. I also use it to thin the paint.

Next I added pebbles to the black sand beach and plants to the foreground. Leaving the black showing through adds depth.


Close up.

My cat has a new fun place. When I stop painting and go to type on the computer she watches me.

Tomorrow I'll report on the kiln and all the Bob projects.

Thanks for checking back, Wendy

Great update
Can't wait to see what secrets and updates will be on page 100...

So I decided to see who would congratulate me on my thread hitting 100 pages first on page 100.

Congratulations WestADad I'm sending you a Bumatay necklace for being the first person on page 100 to congratulate me. You need to thank hang10tiki for getting me to think up one more secret contest!

little lost tiki and Zero Tiki thank you so much for your notes. I hope everyone has looked at your paintings for the swap. They are so terrific.

Here's a Progress Report:

I love opening the kiln and finding that all is well.

Of the two Missionary's Downfall bowls I knew the Alter style would have cracks.

These cracks are fine and the alter will not fall apart. I'll work to close them when I glaze.

Now everything was loaded up and taken out to be hosed off. Dan used a new high pressure nozzle and when he came in he was drenched. Too bad I didn't take photos of that. I'll start glazing these today.

I found four problems with my painting. First, the short frond on the middle palm tree was not working. Second, one of the short palms had a frond in front of a tree that was in front of it. Third, the front pole was leaning. Forth, the plants were too manicured leaving a black line running in front of the bushes.

Started with the pole. I also moved the high point of the thatch roof to be centered over the pole.

Taking photos and posting them helps me see problems that I might of missed.

Time for our morning walk. Cheers, Wendy

Well how about that! I had no idea I'd be that lucky. Looking forward to wearing your Bumatay with pride.

The Bob's are looking great and I'll keep watching the painting to see it progress.

Thank you Wendy!

Prickly Purple Pineapple
That was just in case you are having a secret contest to see who's the first to post a 3 word alliteration involving a double entendre, a color and a tropical fruit :D :lol: :D

Wendy, I think you should try paperclay to make the altar style bowl holder to see if that fixes your crack problem. The ceramics and the painting are both looking beautiful. Eliminating the "manicured" effect on the plants was a good call. The other 3 were things that would bug you but no one else would ever notice :D (or maybe artist do that - go to a gallery and try to find mistakes by others artists? Kind of like I watch hosptipal movies and laugh at the stupid stuff they do) Can't wait to see what other surprises await us.

WestADad we hope to ship out the Bumatay today. Please post a photo like Tavarua Tiki's when it arrives.

hang10tiki I hope you and everyone who watches the painting will point out anything that doesn't look right as I progress. I'm always learning as I go.

MadDogMike weird, I had an idea for a pineapple in my painting, we'll see. I tried to get some paper clay but it was all high fire and came in 50 pound bags. The shop said that the Magic Mend is a low fire liquid version. So I'm mounding it on the cracks and as it dries I mush it into them and add more. It's looking good so far but firing will tell the whole story.

Tavarua Tiki thank you so much. Tropical setting, cute guy, my art. Its a perfect photo.

KittyKat65, the year you graduated high school? Or the year you were born? I'm always curious about numbers. Welcome. I hope to see you here often. 2 hours? I'm honored.

Now its time to update the Wish List:

I glazed all day and here's how much was done. Some will require cold paint after firing to highlight areas or to add detail such as eyes and mouth on Bob.

Tavarua Tiki's Creature From The Bob Lagoon. I hope one day that glazing will require 1 layer instead of three. Yep that red glaze turns green.

Tonga Tiki's Missionary's Downfall bowl and the woman who caused it. He wanted the inside of the bowl to match her dress. It is a nicely spotted glaze called Honeysuckle.

BaconSM's Pac Man Bob. I'm doing the entire outside of the mug in underglaze. I will see if I can do all the colors this way. If not I'll just add cold paint after firing. No next up with this mug is to paint everything on the game board in blue, white, pink, orange etc.

All beautiful Wendy! I think the Pele and the Creature are my favorites.

Freeform in San Diego carries a lowfire paperclay, maybe you can pick some up when you come down for Oasis? I think New Mexico Clay ships clay for free. They make a clay with nylon fibers instead of paper fibers (still works the same) called Lafingspirit It's supposed to be better than paperclay because the paper fibers will rot out of the clay if you keep it too long before using it, the nylon fibers don't do that.

MadDogMike I am going to get a bag of the paper clay since the nylon fibers will not rot. It will take me years to go through 25 pounds so this will work. Thank you for all the times you have helped me.

Badd Tiki thank you for posting a note to cheer me on.

It took the whole day to get this far because every glaze needs three coats including every color on Pac Man Bob.

I'll be back to work this morning. I really hope to finish these today so that I can fire them tomorrow. We'll see.

Thank you for stopping by and for the notes. Cheers, Wendy

When I picked the blue-grey color for my request, I was thinking of how it would look where it pools on the carved part. Adding Diamondhead came later at your suggestion. I'm not sure if that's going to come out looking like stormy weather or dark of night. Either way, I'll be quite happy with the results.

I really like how BaconSM's Bob with the leaves is shaping up. Almost has me second guessing my design choice. Who am I kidding, I like them all!

That Pac-man is really over the top. One of those things where it's not really my style, but I can still appreciate the design and execution.

The Pac-man has made me curious, what's the effect of laying many layers of glaze over each other? Do you get to a point where too many layers causes problems? Is there an order you have to follow (light to dark, or vice-versa)?

Wendy,

Everything is looking great, I can't wait to see how my Palm Bob mug turns out after being fired! :D

Keep up the good work and all the updates, I love being able to stop by every morning and see what you have been up to!

Hi Friends, first off thank you for making my day. I love reading your notes. Thank you.

McTiki I have finished with Wish List glazing and they will all go into the kiln tonight. Then it will be back to the painting using your tiki.

Philot glaze turns to glass and moves as it melts when fired. That's what's bad about it. Under-glaze is more like a powder in water. It can be built up and layered and when it is fired it stays put. The only movement would be in the clear glaze used to cover it. Picture the Trader Vic's mugs with so many colors. That's under glaze. As long as you do all three layers what is under it will not show. I've used it on the entire Pac Man Bob and the Bob with leaves. I'm glad you like them all.

Mikey Tiki good morning, welcome.

Atomic Chick who knew you were a Pac Man chick too.

hang10tiki it is so good to know you are hanging around.

Tavarua Tiki I love Brawney so much that last time I poured and had a huge mess from a mold leak I had Dan photograph my Brawny clean up. Here's the premiere.

You can see that I tried to stop the leak with clay platered on the side of the mold. It was leaking out the bottom two. It stopped on its own. To avoid this pour in a small amount of slip and turn the mold to each of its sides. It will plug the leaks. Once this is done it can stand the weight of the rest of the slip being poured in.

But when you have a huge mess Brawny is terrific. It doesn't fall apart.

I like being asked questions.

Wish List Progress....I'm so happy this morning to announce that every piece has been glazed. By tonight they will be dry and I'll put them into the kiln to fire. The kiln will open up on Monday. Of course if there are glaze skips I'll be working on them one more time but there's always hope.

LOL at the Brawny story! That's what I love about works-in-progress threads, you get to see a little about how people do things. How you handle problems is sometimes more interesting than having everything go perfectly all the time.

Good Morning!

Tavarua Tiki I'm so happy to hear you are switching to Brawny it saves me from all my messes.

Atomic Tiki Punk Pele has them...

Professor G I hope the foliage will turn out well. It is so hard to tell with under glazes exactly what the end product will look like. Murph Dog will make a great addition to your Blue Bob group.

Philot when I have an error I don't get upset because I can share it here. My thread is so full of them. I'm glad to know that you and others appreciate learning from them.

VampiressRN thank you for your support you are a dear friend.

We poured slip into the two molds we made a couple of weeks ago. The molds were dry. One had no leaks and one was super bad. Brawny please. I could see where the problem was when I put it together. I have two ways to fix it. I'll do that in the future.

Here's the wish list in the kiln. I'll open the lid tomorrow. I like to glaze the bottoms so every item is on stilts. So the bottoms only have tiny spots that have no glaze.

Behind the foliage I painted permanent hooker's green paint that is almost black. Behind larger stones for a black sand beach I paint speckles. So first off I put down newspaper or newsprint roll end paper which is super cheap. then I cover the part of the painting I don't want to get the specks.

My tools are stiff brushes, water in a spray bottle to keep the paint thin, paint and one glove to save my hand from major clean up. If you don't have a glove you can use a baggie over your hand and run a piece of tape around your wrist.

Put thinned with water paint on the brush and pull back the bristles and let go. Change paint color and do it again and again until the area is covered.

Today I'll work on the foreground of the painting and I'll open the molds to see if I got good casts of the Bobs. I'm starting now because I can wrap them in plastic and hold them until it is time to start the next wish list.

Cheers, Wendy

Wendy (and Dan),

It just keeps getting better and better with each new entry (if that is even possible)!

I cannot believe all the Bob variations and how each one is such a unique exhibition of your talents. Bravo to all of your efforts.

That painting is pretty spectacular as well, even more proof (as if any were needed) of your unlimited artistic abiltites. You make it worth coming to Tiki Central.

Sorry about the delays in getting over there. Maybe I am cursed?

Love you guys...

MurphDog, I love this photo. Thank you so much. This is the best reward I get for the work.

Loki Tiki we should have Tiki Ba up again. There is the Blue Bob Group and now a Bob Dog club too.

Psycho Tiki D we love you too. Thank you for all the support and kind words.

Wish list progress and etc.

Along with all the other Bob conversions I did a surprise 50th birthday gift for
Rugby Matt from Deb. She has given it to him so I can now share these photos.

Sunday we poured the old and new Bob molds. One leaked horribly but in the end we got our 4 good Bobs.

We poured a set of Bobs again today. But first I filled the holes that caused the leaks with clay. This photo shows one on the right filled and one on the left waiting to be filled.

It worked no a single leak. Here Dan is pouring out the excess slip. Notice on the mold I've written the amount of time the slip needs to set in the mold to make the thickness I like for the Bob's. Notes on molds are a big help, especially if you pull out an old one to use.

I think this is Tiki Atari selling mugs on this site.

He has a video and as he walks away I can see one of my Tiki Bob decanter's on his shelf. Thanks Tavarua Tiki for sharing this with me. It looks like he's had over 700 sales of his mug I hope he's sending them to China to be made. It would take me 3 years to make that many.

Yes I did open the kiln this morning and I've taken out all the mugs and bowls. I need to go over each one to see if I can enhance it with cold paint or if there is a problem. Once I've done that I will photograph them and request addresses for shipping. I'll also post photos. Hopefully I can do all of this by tomorrow night or tonight.

We will be taking a few days off for a family reunion. So if we disappear you'll know we are with my sisters family having a blast.

I'll be back! Wendy

The Wish list will be finished tomorrow. I have to wait 24 hours before I bake those with cold paint. I wish I had one more day but our family reunion starts on Wednesday and continues the rest of the week. We should be able to ship many of these tomorrow. If I requested an address I need it now if I didn't ask you it's because I saved it from the last time.

I took these photos fast and the lighting wasn't set up right so the photos look blurry or burned out. But here goes anyway.

Opening the kiln lid is always scary and fun.

McTiki your Bob had a cold with a runny nose. I used cold paint to cover the whole face but he is not considered fixed. I'll PM you about this sad fellow.

Tiki Tonga's Missionary's Downfall Bowl. I painted the bowl this way but fired it doesn't look like I imagined. I just looks like the glaze ran.

If you are no longer happy with your mug or life has changed and you need to cancel please just let me know. Thank you for all these orders it's been a fun journey. I'm glad you took the trip with me, cheers, Wendy

Wow, Wendy! Creature from the Bob Lagoon is just so cool! In order to do it justice, Tavarua Tiki is going to have to display that mug on a rotating pedestal.

I'm honored to have joined the Blue Bob club with my Rock Solid guy. :)
