Thanks everyone for the congrats. Wendy, I know it is going to seem strange, but I think I just want a classic Bob glaze. I'm a sucker for a vintage look. :)

Good Morning everyone. littlegiles that's not strange at all, vintage it is. This will not be my last contest to sponsor, they are just too much fun. Progress Report: When when we loaded the kiln with Mahalo Tiki's mugs I also added a lot of glaze tests. I'm checking out some colors for hula girl skin. I'll be glazing 19Tiki Cheif62's Missionary's Downfall woman so I'm searching for that ethnic blend of the islands. Now I've started hauling in all the glaze colors that I'll be using for the Wish List projects. I've contacted most everyone whose colors I wanted to verify. If I didn't contact you then I haven't gotten far enough along on your project. I'll have more later today but we need to go now to run some errands. Cheers, Wendy |

Congrats Dale, maybe you should buy some lottery tickets. You're on a roll. I just sent a PM about those peanut mugs. I'm supposed to be watching my money and not buying stuff but boy am I tempted!!! |

ZeroTiki I'm sure I'll have another one in the future so stay tuned. tigertail7777 we have been waiting for someone to do our theme song. Well Done!What old TV show did you use for the music. We'd like to be able to sing our song. Also as a reward I'll make you a Tiki Bob necklace. I have one left and it is yours. PM your email address and home address and the colors you would like, vintage or your own choices for face and body. Progress Report: I opened the kiln filled with Mahalo Tikis Peanut mug project. I finished one of the Wish List small Super Carved Bob's for ebTiki. We work hard every day but ceramics do not proceed at a fast pace, too many steps. This is why I never take money up front. When I'm finished with a piece I have a payday. So it "pays" for us to work hard and do the best we can. I am always grateful that you will wait for your art. Now lets all sing our tigertail7777 theme song ... Wendy [ Edited by: danlovestikis 2012-09-12 07:19 ] |

Those are some great colors. Well done MahaloTiki and Mary. You have been taught well. I always love the pics of the items in the kiln. Wendy, does it ever get "not exciting" opening the kiln to see how things turned out? I know when I was doing some china painting, it was always fun and exciting when you first opened the kiln and could see the final results.

Well I just sort of tossed off the theme song in fun, didn't really have any particular old show in mind but I think I did have a little bit of the Gary Shandling Show rolling through my brain, it does seem to have the same rhyme and meter plus it has a whimsical feel I think would portray yours and Dan's sense of humor. :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cWbkWTYwTw Wasn't expecting any kind of reward but I can't refuse such a wonderful offer. I'll PM you when I have a bit more time (getting ready for work right now). :) |

Good Morning. I worked on my computer yesterday but now I need professional help. I can get to Tiki Central but not to my windows emails. Good thing I only know tiki people. The problem all started with being asked if I wanted to add ASK and its tool bar. I said NO NO NO to every question and the tool bar popped up and froze my computer. Finally I was able to run some anti-virus ware and male-ware and my computer was working when I went to bed. Now this morning its all messed up again. So after this morning I may be gone for a while. I'll try to repair it over the phone first. philot nice word. I'll work on you CI heads today. Mrs. Mahalo Tiki came to check the mugs and to take away those that are finished. Yesterday we went out for lunch. Dan got his favorite sandwich. To keep the Wish List projects going and filling the requests accurately I have a binder that I update with incoming email and helpful photos. I ask lots of questions. The projects placed in the binder by name in alphabetical order. Without the binder I'd be lost. 1 binder per Wish List. littlegiles told me to not let the casts go to waste. As you know I work in full loads. I had a few more crawl mugs to bisque fire so I finished off more of the dry work on the shelves. The Moai heads are now going to be for the wall not bowls. When this load opens I'll have all the crawl mugs ready to glaze at once. I love a full kiln and I love being over loaded with tiki projects. Thanks for taking the ride with us.

Surely Dagwood would be proud of it. I see what appears to be Turkey, Ham and Roast Beef. Maybe I shouldn't check TC on an empty stomach. LOL

Don't you listen to them, Dan. That sandwich had lettuce, which is a vegetable. Everyone knows vegetables are good for you. In addition, the pigs, chickens, cows, otters, kudus and whatever else perished to form that behemoth-on-a-bun had probably also eaten vegetables, so that's like extra vegetables, which, as I've pointed out, are good for you. It takes a lot of sammich (or sangwich) to fuel up the Dust-Blastin' Plaster-Hoistin' Slip-Shaker Supreme that is Dan Cevola. |

How about we go with that bright orange you are using on those mugs in your latest postings? Bright orange is my favorite color (which would partially account for my fondness of tigers). Sorry I did not reply sooner I was having problems accessing tiki central for some reason. Thanks for doing this Wendy, really what a wonderful surprise! :) To clarify cause I messed up: bright orange for the body, white for the face. I also PM'd you now that I figured it out. :) [ Edited by: tigertail777 2012-09-14 00:21 ] |

Maybe that sandwich would be a good ceramic project. |

It's been fun to read comments about the Peanut mugs that I've done with Mahalo Tiki. Of the 20, 17 needed touch up due to tiny glaze skips or smudges or runs on the interior black. I couldn't believe that so many needed help. I thought I must be a very poor instructor. Well it turns out that without me nagging Dan to change the nozzle he used the less powerful one on the hose for these mugs and another whole kiln load. I found out because I found grit on those still wet from his hosing. That was the problem. So today we put on the right nozzle and re-sprayed them all. No shortcuts because in the end it triples the work and costs money to re-fire. Yesterday day I re-glazed all 17 and put them in the kiln to fire. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, Wendy |

Hale Tiki yes after a few people here mentioned they liked the drip runs over the black I did that when I fixed a few tiny glaze skips. BeezleBug Magic Mend is for repairing cracks, chips and for fusing pieces together. It can be bought on line from New Mexico Clay. It's great stuff. I'm glazing today so now that I've checked in its back to work. Wendy [ Edited by: danlovestikis 2012-09-15 14:32 ] |

Hi Friends, I'm making a Moai bowl for Beachbumz. He and I have traded art. I have beautiful bowls for Dan's Christmas and Beachbumz will have this one in the future. This weekend we are trying to glaze all of the Sacramento Crawl mugs. This is the first time I've had them all together in one place. First we glazed the insides and turned them over to drain. Next up will be spray painting outside. Our house has been taken over by tikis! Oh wait that's nothing new. |

Can't wait to see those Crawl mugs after they are fired. Bet that spotted glaze is going to look great. The finished peanuts are looking fine sitting there all together. So is there a surface in your home that doesn't have mugs sitting on it? Funny in the one picture you can see into the other room and there are mugs there too. :) A couple of people truly devoted to creating art.

I got in contact with MahaloTiki about a purple mug but there are soooooo many nice colors! I just know from you the purple is a rare color so that's why I picked it. But I am a poor decision maker so I second guess myself. Which is your favorite, Wendy? Please tell me about the moais. Will they hang on the wall? If so, my wall will be needing one of those. Can't wait to see more of them getting finished. Keep up the outstanding work. And I agree with Vamp - you're running a full time ceramics business with Dan! Maybe you should get a studio and some staff.... |

Gosh Wendy and Dan, those are going to be absolutely beautiful. I went and searched the color of the glaze and it is wonderful. Can't wait to see that after it is fired. Dan must be developing quite the calf muscles with all that up and down you have him doing. He's going to need those to carry around that big sandwich. LOL
