The Wish List is complete. I'm going to post as much as I can today.

slowhandtikiman your mug is done. Please check your PM's for a message from me.

===========================================================

Next up is Freddie C.'s dying devil mug. Freddie check your PM's for a message from me.

I am so happy with the Duncan CN glazes. You may paint as if you are doing an oil painting on canvas and it comes out just as you have hoped.

====================================================

The Gilligan's Island mug is for Tiki Wahini. Lynn, I have written you a message. Please check it out and get back to me.

=====================================================

The Offering is the creation of IDoVooDoo. This project was one where I discovered the use of a balloon!

============================

This is it for now. I'll be back later today with the rest of the Wish List. Cheers, Wendy

#6 done
Yaaaaaaa
That was a lot of work
Thanks for letting us all watch the progress
Great colors

We are resurfacing the pool
3 of these lil guys made their way in
:)
H

Finally got around to loading my mugs on Ooga Mooga
Slow going but I'll get em all in soon
Eyes go blurry to fast
:o
D

hang10tiki a honu lounge and now a pool too? So cool. I always think of you when I see a sea turtle.

================================

I have the last of the work on the mugs to share and then I'm taking a break for a month. I didn't know if I could get done in time but I did. My hands are having problems with numbness and burning. I've had one carpal tunnel on the right and looks like the left may need it. So one month off to see if having fun and not working can heal me. I am not going to type either. So no contact until May. Then it's back to work on the Sacramento Crawl mug.

Wish List #6 the final projects.

The last load for the Wish List.

=========================================
Jimmy Buffet mug number one. Please be kind. These just killed my hands.

Jimmy Buffet mug number two.

================================

The last two mugs for for Kenneth B. McNeil of facebook. They are based on a drawing and painting by zerostreet. How did I do Robert?

=====================

=================================

=================================

=================================

All I need to do is finish the shipping and I'm on break, oh and Dan is too. It's been a lot of fun. I hope you all enjoyed it too.
It's been a great month with Tiki Magazine out and now the Wish List finished. We are going to play and relax.

I won't be coming here this month so I won't be answering any PM's or questions.

Feel free to post your fun photos and to share with each other. All enjoy those when I'm back on-line and ready to start again.

You are all so wonderful, you make our lives so much fun. Cheers until we meet again, Wendy and Dan
L

Oh no! I guess I'll be taking a month off of TC as well :wink: Haka, you might just want to turn the whole site off for a month :) Without Wendy posting her mug awesomeness, this site just won't be the same.

Amazing as always Wendy. I like the severed devil head, if he doesn't buy it, let me know :wink: You deserve a break and I hope that your hands feel better! The best wish list yet and thank you so much for making my wish come true. Everyone loves my octopus Bob mug!
D

lunavideogames well I had to come back to say goodbye after those remarks. Slap my hands and make me stop!

=============================

First I sculpted the entire Wish List.

Now the table is bare!

The glaze is packed up and removed to the shed.

The nook is available for breakfasts.

The lights are out and it's time to rest and play.

Now I really am gone. If you want to see the entire Wish List #6 go to my Gallery page where I just post finished work. Start on the second to last page.

Thank you all once more. Wendy

PS lunavideogames where's my photo of you with the mug????????????
L

I will have some pictures of the mug at Bali Hai after Monday nights meet up. Soon I promise.


Tonga Hut in Palm Springs posted a picture of your mug with one of their drinks in it on Instagram. I thought it was cool and you should know about it.
T

Wendy, I hope you're feeling better soon! Wow, all the latest mugs are amazing- I think the Wendy & Dan action figure sets should go into production soon!

Treg, look forward to seeing your mug- I won't be at the Bali Hai (Opening Day of the Padres) but have fun and take photos.

Jon, time to start photoshoppin'.
H

L

That's cool TikiAno, I thought about going to the Padres but decided it might be a little too crazy for Cole. Next year.
T

Treg, in a few months will be good to take him to the Park in the Park. We have a babysitter. :)

Hmmmm.... where are they heading now?
H

Looking for buried Tikis
L

The Offering is OMG Freaking FANTASTIC!!!!! WOW! Just wow.

A month off? With no Wendy goodness..............

:(

You guys deserve it! Can't wait for you to get back with a whole lot of pictures. :)
H

Lori- I think we need a pic of your yard here

In the meantime
I

Yes! I'm selling a kidney to pay for all the Wendy art goodness coming my way!
H

IDoV- great idea
Kidneys overrated anyway
:)
H

Well
Well
Well

Look what I got

Hope it's ok I posted that pic here
Love Tregs Mug........

Wow
What a great article
Just awesome
Now I just need you to autograph the magazine for me

:)
:)
:)

Again: congratulations on the great article
and thank you for the wish list
It's a lot of work that we all treasure

Worst sound ever, slurp of an empty tiki mug through my straw!!!

I was beyond thrilled when my Tiki Mag showed up! Although I've never met her in person I was so excited to "know" someone featured in the magazine. What a great article and a well deserved honor for our favorite TC mug maker.

As for a photo of the backyard it's not that impressive during April in New Jersey but I'll see what I can do. I'm going to post in tiki collectors on FB but I'll share here too. I picked up a 50+ year old bamboo sofa today! Not a pretzel leg :( but it was only $50 and I'm really excited. I'll post a picture over the weekend when I get it in the hut. Now I just need to find some tiki or tapa-like fabric to recover the (original) cushions. Anyone have any leads for reasonably priced fabric. Spoonflower is cost prohibitive, I'll need a lot!
T

Dan, glad you found some buried tikis, but.....

ummmm..... just look out behind you!!!!
H

T

Jon, from what I've heard, they're somewhat over here:

But their exact location is still TBD since they're currently involved in this (see: photo, below (away from large Demonikis chasing them, for apparently taking "what ain't theirs" (The Demonikis' words, not mine, of course).
H

T

Wendy and Dan continued to flee those scary Demonikis....

through tunnels...

through more tunnels....

(Stopping on occasion to look for tikis in specialty tunnel thrift shops, of course.....)

Until---

................... ?

Yay!!!! We received the Aloha Hut Tiki Mug and it looks gorgeous. I still can't get over how thick these fogcutter shaped mug are...simply amazing!

Here's a couple of pics of our growing Wendy Cevola Tiki Family!!!
HW

Always happy when one of her mugs arrives.
Here's my two WendyBirds~

And some more fun~

Thank You for all your hard work and persistence.

Hello friends. Yes we did go away on a fabulous trip. Some of your photos were very close to what we did while in the South Pacific. I will share the photos as I put them into order and select the best to share. Once those are up I will begin to post the IN PROGRESS photos of the Sacramento Crawl mug from stage one until they are all finished and boxed. Hopefully they will all be done before Tiki Oasis which is my goal. I also will do a project for their art show.

I am so delighted with all of these messages and photos that I have copied them into my Photoshopped saved file. I've done that before starting to catch up on all the bills and other chores. Priorities that are joyful come first. You are all dear friends.

Thank you to...

lunavideogames, Polynesian Paddie told me about the mug coming to your gathering. I really do look forward to the photos.

TikiAno we love your photos.

hang10tiki I never see a sea turtle without thinking of you.

LoriLovesTiki I am looking forward to having IDoVooDoo come pick up his Offering and Space Ship Hula Girl. I'll take lots of photos.

hang10tiki Yes LoriLovesTiki yard photos!!!

IDoVoodoo make sure it's the one with the kidney stone. They make jewelry out of those so you'll get more money for me. When are you coming?

hang10tiki

hang10tiki Thank you so much. I tried to get photoshopped pictures that you, TikiAno and Lunavideogames did but they wanted to stick to just my art. Bummer you guys just rock our world with all the fun photos. They did leave your name in there even though they left out the pictures. We were thrilled with the article but I did miss having a photo of my right hand man Dan in there. He got cut too!

LoriLovesTiki thank you so much. I took the magazine on our trip and MADE a few tourists look at it. I think they thought I was a bit nuts. Coconuts for sure.

TikiAno we did find tikis but not in our price range. It's better to find them on the mainland.

Tyber Tiki I love these photos. Thank you so very much. I do make my mugs overly thick. A chip can be repaired but a hairline is forever. I want these to be around after Dan and I have left the planet.

Holler Waller it's so cool to see the two styles together. One girl is happy and one is NOT!

You guys just rock. My thread got 75,000 views while you were posting. You kept the fun going. I almost didn't post until this month was over because I wanted to see what you had us doing next. So I guess I'll have to plan another break soon just so you can share some more of your creativity. THANK YOU ALL.

=====================================

Let's do a contest. I will ship a Hana Hou (Hawaiian Airlines) magazine with the article on Tiki Art Shark to the winner.

We were lucky to have this to read on our way home.

So how many photos did I take of our vacation that lasted 22 days and was in the South Pacific? You have until Midnight tonight to respond because tomorrow I will start posting photos of our adventour.

Cheers, Wendy
