SandraDee he's here with his family. We are just providing a bit of entertainment when he's done with them on and off. It's OK to be jealous he is after all a celebrity! I can tell because no one noticed my artwork photos. WestADad we will do our best. Tonight he'll get Dan's chocolate chip cookies. GROG now I'm jelous. I love the photo. Every animal has such personality, including the MadDog. cy, GROG's art is killer. Be afraid be very afraid! Since Dan and I are missing MadDog I decided to log on here. I loved the comments and drawing. So here's what I did. When he returns tonight I'll present him with a gift from GROG. Back to my clayday, Wendy |

Nice work with the Wahines Wendy. I too prefer them in the more upright position. Love the drawing GROG, and good job framing it Wendy, it looks great. And Mike, Dan and Wendy WOULD be the perfect hosts if they didn't make you sleep in the Buzzy bedroom. :lol: It was a good thing i was so tired when i was there that i fell asleep quickly and didn't have time to think about all the scary pics of Buzzy surrounding me.

Glad you liked that Mad Doggers. If GROG had known Wendy going to frame the damned thing, GROG would've done a better drawing rather than what GROG crapped out in a couple of minutes in Photoshop. GROG want to sign up for the visitor list to Dan and Wendy cave. Looks like you're having fun playing in the mud, Wendy. Keep up the good work. Just because GROG not always comment doesn't mean GROG not checking in on progress. |

Wendy, Your posts and updates always make me smile! I can see that you, Dan & Mike are having a great time. That picture of you & Mike at dinner is a great one. And framing GROG's sketch with the picture on the back was such a great idea. Love the sketch GROG! Great idea, Wendy. Mike's a lucky guy getting to experience your now famous hospitality! And the wahine arm surgery looks good. No one would ever know they weren't originally sculpted like that! Amazing! |

MadDogMike has left the house (at 5 AM). He is so much fun to have everyone should fight to get him to come over for a few days. He's a family member of ours (in our minds) and we cherish him. dartharnie Severed Heads and Wish List #3 first but I really like the idea of the Bride of Frankenstein. What's the wahine combo? TikiAno I could take photos of him all day long. He's a great sport. WestADad I should let Toll House know I'm advertising for them. GROG I'm going to frame the drawing and hang it in the newly labeled GROG and Buzzy Bedroom! Professor G all you have to do is see him smile to be happy, you got it right. LoriLovesTiki every year at Oasis Buzzy hands out a pin-up of himself as a "Chippin Male". Each year we framed ours and hung it as art in the guest bedroom. So we named it the Buzzy Bedroom because now there are a framed pictures of Buzzy on every wall. SandraDee you are such a dear heart and good friend. hang10tiki you are the best, I love it. tigertail777 thanks tiger, when I finish here I'm going to check out your thread. MadDogMike I hope you are all on the plane home right now and have a safe journey. Many hugs dearest friend. Our Time With MadDogMike He enters Dan's Tiki Jungle Room with all the bells and whistles going. It sounds like a storm with animals on the run. A couple of blocks from our home is a creek. We took a short walk. Someone said to put MadDog to work, so I did! To end the evening MadDog and Dan gave a toast to a great visit. Dan, Mike and myself have enjoyed having you all with us this weekend. I hope you enjoyed the visit, we sure did. Cheers, Wendy [ Edited by: danlovestikis 2013-02-10 08:50 ] |

I like the Mike's face almost always looks like someone photoshopped it to be more exaggerated/funny. I of course, mean that in the absolute best way possible. Some of the faces you make MDM look like someone used the warp function in Photoshop. I am always amused. |

hang10tiki any thing you see tiki related was decorated by Dan. I haven't even put one tiki treasure on a shelf. He is the master arranger. Hale Tiki that killer smile could never come from photoshop because it comes from his soul! He presented us with one of his terrific El Tiki mugs. Progress Report Wish List #3 22 Severed Heads out of mold. 19TikiChef62's 3 Missionary's Downfall Women stew pot bowl is coming along just fine. After indenting the bottom I wrapped the sides and let the bottom firm up. We are missing MadDog already. He was the perfect guest. Wendy |

GROG you are so right! LoriLovesTiki you are welcome. I just had to share that smile. hang10tiki #23 is in the mold waiting to be removed. I will be doing some glaze tests until I find the perfect matches. Then some will be dropped or crack. I plan to pour at least 35 and then go to work on them along with the rest of the Wish List #3. dartharnie so many fun monsters out there. Dan keeps looking at our Asian living-room with tiki eyes. I'm like your wife, don't even think about it, Dan. GROG is always right. Progress Report Wish List #3 After pouring Severed Head #23 we ran out of prepared slip. We got 10 more half gallons prepared. I sanded and sanded and did some more sanding. Bottom level of the kiln. Top level of the kiln. When these come our we'll see if Bela's arm stayed on or blew off again. It is fun and scary to fire up the kiln. Thank you for the visit, Wendy |

hang10tiki we have to confess that the cookies were not calorie free. Dan-O has stopped making them and we are taking long walks. Stay healthy my friends. GROG you too. I love laying brick. I taught Dan how to put them down with a hammer and a level. We put down the brick around our backyard that you can see in our photos. Your guy is on his way to being a full fledged Dan! MadDogMike you can picture here and I can picture the inside of your travel trailer and all the fun tiki additions. hang10tiki or to the grocery store for Toll House batter. Progress Report Wish List #3 Top shelf unloaded into the backyard. Bottom shelf, nothing exploded this time. Dan blows off the dust before I scrub each piece. Success. I tried but the arm will not pull off of Bela Lugosi made for dartharnie. Showdown over the woman but she wants to hang out with Beach bum Bob. The scrub a dub dub set up. All done scrubbing and rinsing. Now into the house to wait for glazing. Cleaning up leaves our backyard a swamp. The last piece on the Wish List is 19TikiChef62's pot with women which I hope to finish today. Photos tomorrow. I covered a piece of cardboard with tape. I will put it on the turntable to keep the clay from sticking. Now its time for a walk. Thank you for taking a look at our progress. The best part is about to start.

Love progress photos- as well as watching all of the steps you & Dan take for glazing the bisque fired pieces. I also showed my wife photos of your home- I don't think I ever saw her eyes get so wide- she looked towards my "tiki corner" and said, "don't even think about it!" Coincidentally one of her best friends came over and was very impressed with said tiki corner. It was a proud moment. That being said, even my wife was impressed with the photos of your home. She's slowly catching the tiki fever.... she just doesn't know it yet. :) |

lunavideogames you spied right your Mrs. Pac Man mug has survived the bisque. dartharnie It's also my favorite part when mugs are coming out of the kiln glazed. TikiAno I'm always happy to hear that someone likes my photos. I like to post them for everyone too. Progress Report Wish List #3 Severed Head #24 will come out of the mold today. I wasn't going to start on this project until I'd finished the Wish List. I can't quite believe that I've gotten this far before then. I didn't let it slow down the Wish List by much, I just added to my work day. 19TikiChef62 your bowl has been constructed. Is this your vision of the bowl? I need to know if you want tapa carved on the lip, top or bottom? When putting these women onto the pot I have to keep in mind how I will be able to get a brush behind them to glaze. Also when attaching no air bubbles can be trapped. I use sticky slip as glue and once in place I add more and sculpt again to make the hair look better against the pot. This is the original sculpt style with both arms up. This one was modified to have both arms down and one hand holding a sea shell. This one was modified to have one arm down. Top view. Bottom view. Dan is being used for perspective on how large the bowl is. Dan has many uses! HAPPY VALENTINES DAY Wendy [ Edited by: danlovestikis 2013-02-14 08:59 ] |
