Dale, it's usually difficult to attach fired pieces to wet clay since the fired is already shrunk and the wet will shrink as it dries and fires. But I think VanTiki is using fired porcelain teeth in wet paperclay so maybe it could work? |

Here is the sketch and the painting so far. Still not sure where to put the plastic flamingo. It just wouldn't be an original "tu" without a flamingo. tu |

Mike, Party City should have glow sticks (I think). I haven't yet thrown any porcelain, and throwing thinner walls is NOT my forte. :wink: I suppose you could cast a very, very thin porcelain piece, but since it's pretty fragile to work with when it's so thin it would be tough to alter. TU, looks great. cy, awesome (of course). Can't wait to see more.... Including getting started working on my own! |

You were right TikiAno, glow sticks at Party City. While I was there I picked up some nice plastic tikis to replace all the tacky palm and ceramic ones I had :lol: :wink: :lol: Lookin' good Zero |

Started building the form of one mug. Rolled out a slab, wrapped around a piece of PVC, and ended up with this. I'll let it set up for a few days then start to work on features for this "Some People Call Me a Space Moai" mug. |

Dang was going to make it to the studio to add ears and to start the face build out on the mug, but paddled out for a surf and stepped on a stingray. That's never fun, so I spent the afternoon not working AND not working on pottery, but sitting with my foot in a bucket of blazing hot water. Hopefully the mug didn't get too dry with this blazing heat we're having down here in SD. (Okay, not bragging to others in other parts of the country re: temperature, though it doesn't help clay). :) |

Hello Tiki Artists! I finally sat down at my computer to concept out some sketches that I want to do for the art swap. I've been looking at everybody's work so far! Good job!!! =) My sketches revolve around a phrase that has been in my head "THe Loneliest Tiki." It made me think of a sad Tiki Character that got left behind on the moon. He is the last one standing. And since I"ve been watching a lot of old Star Trek episodes with my husband, I had to include some space women. :) It seems like young WIlliam Shatner always gets the hot space girl! I'll probably move on to doing a bigger piece or more concepts... Thanks for reading! I look forward to seeing more progress pictures. Sandra |

Sandra--both of those are great. Love the panda stuff too. TikiDave--Love the rocket, which reminds of an old band called "Love and Rockets" I haven't had much time, but I hope to work more today once my gardener duties are finished. MadDog--What do you need a stingray for? Can you freeze dry them or turn them into a lamp? tu |

Thanks Mad Dog. I have never seen one of those. Now I want one. I have some free time tomorrow, so I will work on my painting and post an update. Keep up the good work everyone and keep posting, that way the thread doesn't get so far down the list that I have to look for it. lol |

This is going to be good- especially if I can ever make it back into the studio. :) (Not to mention finishing off fighting this infection from that dang stingary). Mike, no, the little buggers don't die when they attack- unfortunately. Next time you're in SD give me a ring and I can show you a few places where they all are- unfortunately I don't recommend trying to snag one. They're found in very shallow water and you don't want to wade out to find them (they bury themselves under the sand). Maybe with a hawaiian sling you can go shooting (blind) at them? I'll watch from afar. Looks like we have a good amount of folks participating in this Swap! Love seeing everyone's work so far! |

Made it back to the studio today. The first cylinder I had built had dried a bit too much to work on (in the direction I wanted to head with it), so hand built another form. I started adding features. First, the Space Moai's "Spock-like" ears... Then added its brow and mouth.... Then built up its nose... Originally I had planned to have antennae coming up over the top of the mug, but decided it would be a little more demure if they were brushed back and hanging out behind its ears. These will be trimmed with texture added. |

Life long and make mugs, Ano. I'm going to hi-jack the thread, rather than start a new one, to see if there are any recommendations for fun stuff to do in the LA/Santa Monica area the first week of June. If you have a suggestion, send me a pm. tu |
