Hello Sacramento Ohana and all our friends.
I have poured, opened the molds, and re-carved the last two mugs for our October Crawl.

Image Missing: https://tikicentral.com/resize.php/uploads/251/533c30db.jpg?w=1280&h=1280&fit=max&sharp=5&s=9821f555c8b892726e7bf5f5ab2eecd2

All lined up and drying. Each one will be again carved with a wire brush then sanded and fired. After that will come the glazing.

I will continue to update each time we do another step.

Working this far ahead will take the pressure off when we attend Tiki Kon and Tiki Oasis this summer.

I'm ready to Tiki Party!!! Cheers, Wendy and Dan

Another load has been sanded, dusted and bisque fired in the kiln. It's great to stack them. When I glaze they can't touch so I'll not be able to do very many at one time.

Dan's started fixing up the jungle room for the crawl. We have a new room to show now...the dining room is totally tikified.

Maybe I can help glaze 'em?

D
danlovestikis posted on 04/14/2014

Sure can Mike. You'll have to audition, oh wait you've already passed that part! This will be one of the most difficult glaze projects. I will be using wax resist to keep the brown glaze off of the white glaze. So it will be three big steps. Also I have to do a wipe on the tiki so he shows up well. There will be lots to do. But being productive is fun. Cheers, Wendy

Thanks Wendy, for posting all the wonderful updates and pictures of the 2014 mug...it looks awesome.

I will place the preliminary plans in the intro post, so still need to work on some more stops (mostly for Sunday).

If you are planning on crawling please post here to let me know how many will be with you. For example: John & Lisa Stewart and friend Kevin Lane will be crawling on all days.
I will keep a running list in the intro post, so watch for updates there.

First I painted a clear around the rim.
Image Missing: https://tikicentral.com/resize.php/uploads/251/5357e33b.jpg?w=1280&h=1280&fit=max&sharp=5&s=1bcdff49b287d2d78fe8ce2a6292d637

Then I poured it into the mug and coated all of the insides by rotating the mug three times.
Image Missing: https://tikicentral.com/resize.php/uploads/251/5357e332.jpg?w=1280&h=1280&fit=max&sharp=5&s=75c7c818dc752a8ace73dbcf1e28b0aa

Then I poured it out being careful to not have the clear run down the outside of the mug. I held it upside down for 3 minutes.

I checked to make sure it was all coated and there were no skips.

I then painted wax resist along the top edge. That way if I touch the brown glaze to this area it will wipe off and not ruin the rim. I let this dry overnight.

As I paint the top of the mug the glaze runs off of the wax resist.

Now with the mug dry I can put my hand inside to hold it while I paint on the flat brown glaze.

All done I let it dry overnight.

Now I rubbed the glaze off of the tiki.

This is a test. I expect the final to look different from this one. I will tweak until I get it right.

Thank you so much. I love making the crawl mug each year. Wendy

Tiki Hula wanted to work so I gave him the next glazing test for the Sacramento Crawl mug to do.

First I had him spray the inside and outside with water to start the capillary action to hold the glaze on tighter.

Next he painted three layers on the tiki with a small brush.

I took over for a few moments to use a wet washcloth to rub off the excess glaze.

It was hard being outside working on a kickstarter mug for Tiki Atari so we moved back inside. Tiki Hula painted 3 layers around the rim of the coconut.

Next I had him pour in the jar and swirl it around until all the inside was covered three times with the rotation.

The layers of glaze around the rim act like a barrier to keep the glaze from spilling out.

The last step was three layers of glaze on the outside of the coconut.

This test is different because the black was added first and covered with the brown glaze. If the black shows up this is how all the mugs will be done.

Done and drying.

Here's Mike's mug.

The Sacramento crawl mug test showed that three layers of glaze is too much. It ran to the bottom and glued to the stilts. Better that than to the shelf in the kiln. That's why I always fire on the stilts.

I knocked them off with a hammer and Dan will dremmel the bottom flat.

The highlighting with black on the tiki worked well. I'll probably do one more test and then I'll know what I want to do for the final mug.

You are welcome ChopTopDaddy. I bet your little daughter is running you around by now. She sure was quite at the last crawl.

Cheers, Wendy

I think the brown underglaze is perfect. Maybe just a coat or two of clear on top? And I vote for painting the tiki with the gold pinstripe paint....as long as it stays put with washings.

Great job Wendy!

That would be great. I now have a full line up to cover Friday night, Saturday & Sunday. Map is posted at the start of this thread. Sunday we will shop till we drop...Swanberg's in the morning, then the Marketplace in the afternoon at Matt's, and closing up the crawl at the Mahalo Tiki Shop with Nelson & Mary.

Post if you are going to crawl and PM me your email address for the address send out as we get closer to the event.

Check out the awesome t-shirt Lauren has at Swanberg's.

Also, only a few mugs left from Wendy, so post if you want one.

For those that didn't attend last year we had purchased a 1980 Mid-Century Modern "style" Streng Atrium and moved in just 8 weeks prior to last year's crawl.
We still want to purchase and install a ton of bamboo and thatch but here's a little background:
Our main influence is Disney's Adventureland. With that in mind we have several "themed" rooms, including Tiki, The Pirate's Lair, Undersea Theater and more. Remember we have not even been in the house a year yet....but it's making progress.
To see photos of the yard and interior shots please visit our page on Facebook and "LIKE" us.

Mahalo and hope to see you in the flesh at The Headhunter's Hideaway and Jungle Room Lounge
