I had to change the venue at my place for Saturday night....

Be prepared to experience a...TRIBUTE TO FRANK SINATRA!!! Enjoy the sounds of Ole' Blue Eyes while sipping on my own concoction THE BLUE NOTE COCKTAIL.

Hi Vamp. Very cool.

Tomorrow will be the last day I pour mugs. I need to start the glazing process and the hand painting.

Please sign up even if you are only thinking about it. No obligation I just don't want to run out. If I find I haven't done enough I'l start up again after I have some completed.

Cheers, Wendy

The last two mugs have been poured and are drying. As soon as the last batch is fired I'll begin to glaze.

This crawl is going to be such fun. Thank you Marlene/VampiressRN.

Cheers, Wendy

All my bisque fired ware waiting for glaze.

The last load of mugs come out of the bisque fire tomorrow. Today I go to Alpha to pick up the Caribbean Blue glaze. Soon we'll be off and running with this project. The days are short and the work steps are long. Wish me luck.

VampiressRN this crawl is going to be the bomb thanks to you, Wendy and Dan

Thought of you (Wendy & Dan) tonight as Huell Howser (California Gold TV Show), just did a tour of the Lincoln (where I live) Gladding McBean Ceramics Company. That place is amazing. Have you guys been there? If not, we need to do a tour, even my Mom was blown away.

HEY EVERYONE...plan on joining our 3 day tour...we have got great surprises for you, a wonderful market place at Matt's and the fabulous Wendy/Dan crawl mug.

How's all of my Sac Ohana?

Wendy I sure hope I'm not too late to get a mug and a spot on the crawl. I just saw a FB post and joined the Sac Ohana group. That's how I found this thread.

I'll be looking for a place to crash too. If anyone knows of a bed or box I can sleep in I'd be very grateful. (That is assuming it's not closed yet. I'll read it tomorrow.)

Eric From Napa aka
Savage Tiki

Hey Eric...hope you can join us. My Mom moved in with me and figure Sandy will stay in the bungalow and I have some things under construction so don't think I have any room in the inn. Bring a friend or give a shout out here to see if someone can split a hotel room with ya.

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.

Then I painted the bottom 3 times in the center and once around the edge.

I want a scattering of spots on the outside of the mug so I painted a light coat of the spotted glaze on the outside, the inside will have major spotting.

Close up.

Next up will be spray painting outside.

Our house has been taken over by tikis! Oh wait that's nothing new.

Cheers, Wendy

Wow...what a fabulous production line you've got going. We all appreciate your dedication and love your awesome pictures.

"Oh waiter, another cocktail please!!!"

Edited for spelling...hmmmm...maybe I need to preview my useless posts before I hit the submit button!!!

One step at a time. Fingers Crossed and my eyes too. Hugs, Wendy

Hello Ohana

The mugs are out of the kiln. Next up I'll be painting on the detail. Only weeks away.

There are still mugs for sale, I've made 40. The price is $70 each. If you order but do not attend the crawl there will be postage added to that price. PM me with orders and I'll add you to the list.

For more details check out the thread above. Cheers, Wendy

Aloha Sac Ohana, I'm in for Friday but only the first three stops unfortunately since I have another commitment later that day.

Looking forward to it and I will try to dig up a few pieces of Stockton Islander bamboo to give away.

Update on the crawl mug. Only one was spelled Sacramemto in case you noticed! Wendy

PS it will be great to see you again Abstract Tiki we love our Islander Bamboo, its in the Buzzy Bedroom

Of all the mugs fired I only had two that need a bit more glaze on the rim. Last night I started hand painting the raised parts. I'll have photos tomorrow on my other crafts thread. 3 weeks and lots of mugs to paint and bake! Cheers, Wendy

Simply amazing...we are so blessed to have you provide us with your gorgeous art W&D.

Thank you so much Marlene, we are very lucky to have you! Joanne just confirmed that she will fly in from Pasadena to attend all the days of the crawl. She's staying in the Buzzy Bedroom. Cheers, Wendy

Please check out the final version of the Crawl mug. It took 1 hour to paint this first one. I know I'll get better as I progress. I may even tweak the colors a bit. What do you think? Is it still vintage in appearance?

2.5 weeks and so many to paint and bake!!! Wendy

I almost forgot Dan's latest pinup photo. He's sanding the bottoms!

Hi Sac Ohana and friends. The voting has ended and plain has won. Therefore the price of the mug is $60 at the event, $60 plus shipping after the event. We plan to be at the Don the Beachcomber's sale in Huntington Beach on December 2nd. If I have any left I will bring them. Cheers, Wendy

[ Edited by: danlovestikis 2012-09-29 15:23 ]

Thank you for letting us vote W&D...I am glad plain won as the glaze color is fabulous and is really all that is needed to enhance the great sculpting.

A big warm welcome to Shane who will be joining as a host on Sunday morning.

Watch for our Sac Crawl Banner on TC...comming soon to a PC near you!!!

I've posted an update on the crawl mug.

I have 12 that are imperfect. $50 each. 11 have a small glaze defect shown on the left and one has a funky palm frond shown on the right.

See ya soon, Wendy and Dan

Aloha all Sacramento Ohana's. I've been observing the growth of the NorCal TIKI subculture and love the fact that there is a group in my area.
I would love to meet up with y'all this Saturday ( sadly, the only day that fits my calendar). Marlene is sending me venue info.
I'm reworking and updating my patio tiki-bar, and would like ideas to adapt. Also interested in trading mugs from my 3 year (and growing) collection.
Hope to see you soon!
Rob Wagner

Look forward to meeting all the new folks that are joining our Sac Ohana group and everyone coming to our part of the world to crawl.

If you want to make part of the events or all, please pm me your email and I will send you the addresses.

I'm bringing some free bamboo and other kinds of tiki treasure gifts for the TC'ers tomorrow. See ya at Jungle Traders place and beyond!

Aloha!

Sadly I am not going to make Friday...I took it off to crawl but have issues going on at home. I look forward to seeing folks Saturday night at my stop and plan on crawling Sunday. I sent everyone the crawl directions via email. I have the hard copies of the crawl map/addresses so wonder if I can get them to someone early tomorrow morning before you head down to Turlock. Please PM me here or on Facebook.

We are going to miss miss miss you Marlene. I bet you are just getting your place extra special for our visit there tomorrow. We can't wait to see you and your mom. So many hugs for all your hard work. Love you, Wendy and Dan

Thank you VampiressRN/Marlene for one terrific crawl day with 2 more to come. You've done an over the top good job.

I wore down as the day progressed so I was so happy to see the photos of Greg and Daryilyn here. I'm going link them to my thread now. Cheers, Wendy

Thanks to everyone that came to my stop on the crawl. Had a wonderful time and got to meet new people. I appreciate you all driving as far as you did to my leg of the crawl. Thank you for the delightful hostess gifts.

I've posted photos from Day two on my other crafts thread. Re-live the second terrific day.

Marlene you are the bomb!!! Wendy

Does anyone have pictures from Swanberg's?

Vamp/Marlene this has been the best crawl ever. Thank you for all the work. Today I forgot my digital camera. I got an old disposable from my car and took photos. Now I'll have to get them developed.

I hope lots of others will post their photos.

You did a perfect organization for this trip. Many hugs girlfriend, Wendy

Thanks for the props. I am so sorry I didn't get to crawl with everyone, but glad we had a good turn-out and met new Tiki friends.

My many thanks to all the wonderful hosts. I already have folks asking if they can host for next year because they had so much fun with our group. If anyone is interested in hosting next year, send me a PM or email.

Kudos too for all the great crawlers, the hostess gifts, and the transportation of various cargoes. All very much appreciated.

Tip of the fez to Wendy & Dan for a beautiful Tiki Crawl Mug...always a cherished treasure.

Looking forward to 2013.

"Oh waiter, another cocktail please!!!"
