Just put up my Tiki Tumblers on ebay, link to my market place thread
I had an s crack in the 4th after bisque, went ahead and tried to fix/glazed anyway, but it developed a decent crack in high fire... so it's a pencil holder. :( These took several hours each to carve and about 45 min. each to glaze with a paint brush. |

Alright, got some new wips to show. little Ki is about the same as the last king ku tumbler i did, but i tried to embelish it with a little more detail. 5 inches tall by 4 around approx. Set of 4. glazed and stained and waiting for fire. I think this set is spoken for. Big Ku is about 8 inches tall and 5 inches around. For the tiki drinky that doesn't want to refill more than once or twice. Better hold on with two hands. |

Well double posting this one for obvious reasons... Awhile back I asked Brad 'Awesome Sauce Tiki Shark the Man the Myth the Legend' Parker if he minded me using some of his designs on a mug. He was cool as ever and totally down with me rippin' his work :D Took me awhile to actually get to it due to other things in progress... But I did and too impatient to wait and show off the finished piece. it's bisqued but needs glaze and high fire. Standing at about 7 inches tall I give you the... well, first the origin... TWIN TIKI MUG: |

Really Amazing work! Who ever buys it, he or she needs to have a print to go with it... that is IF it it being sold. |

Looks great! Thrown and then carved? Sometimes I do the reverse - carve and then throw (away) :lol: I like that it is "inspired by" rather than "copied from" Brad's work. |

:D I gotta admit, I have thrown carved and thrown a few peices myself :wink: Well, Big Ku Kup is now all wrapped up, and ready to be wrapped up and shipped...if I get around to E-Bay but NOT today... He comes in at a whopping 7 inches tall and 4 inches around, I'm no mathemtician or mixologist (or obviously spellologist with all these red underlines) but I think the volume comes out to one hell of a good time (I think that's standard but it might also be metric). I can make a fist and put it into the mug and not see my wrist so.... |

Ok El Jefe :) You got first dibs. Did a little more today, trimmed th foot of the larger one (it will be 4 straw), textured the volcano and added lava flows. The other bowl will be 2 straws, Not quite as tall walls so the volume is quite a bit less. Got some good ideas for the rest of the bowl but I won't spoil it until I have some good shots. |

I would Grog but all those double letters start running together after a couple Mai Tais :D Update on the larger lava bowl, needs a little clean up but basically done. There are tentacles carved into the bottom too but hard to see at that angle. |

The bowl has been bisqued. Been avoiding glazing but we'll probably have a firing next week so I gotta get on it. The other one is still underwraps and hopefully not too dry. But i did squeeze in another mug. I think it'll be about 6.5-7 inches (20 oz?) after firing. |

Well, the mug is done, need to get picks>ebay. Also, the bowls: The first bowl is being fired tomorrow (well, later today...), it was a pain to glaze and I hope it comes out well. It has got me rethinking how to do it better (one step will be using my black clay for the center cone thus avoiding one glaze- even if just a slip). The second bowl has been recycled. Just too much going on and I get bored doing the same thing too much (yes even tiki stuff :( ). I kept it for awhile but it eventually got too dry. But in a few days bowl #1 will be done and at very least will be something to think on how I want to proceed. At very best it will turn out awesome. So much anxiety in clay. Got a new jar in progress. This is black clay (now it's dark red, after fire it will be black and slightly metallic - tons of iron)... had some issues with glazes shivering on this clay so he'll be raw. It's a beautiful clay body though (currently doing tests with more feldspar so it'll work with glazes). about 3 hours carving, base details in. Now mostly fine details and cutting lid left. He's about 7-8 inches tall. [ Edited by: Badd Tiki 2014-07-19 01:40 ] [ Edited by: Badd Tiki 2014-07-19 01:54 ] |

Starting to do a bunch of small pinch pot/ shot glasses/ cactus cups... Not too much tiki yet but got a moai and some sea creatures finishing up. Of course zombies and skulls too! Started working with various clays, mostly just using paper clay now. It's great for this stuff.

Cool stuff Jeff! The Walrus and crab are my favorites. Have you ever tried Mother of Pearl luster? It would be good on that pearl. |

6 years in the making. I carved the first one of these in 2012. I've got four of these guys cast so far. Need to get more slip. [ Edited by: Badd Tiki 2018-11-14 14:56 ] |
