So many Bobs make me so happy.

Wow, just got caught up (took a bit) since I've been gone from TC for a while- yes, been seeing stuff on FB but missing tons of the Wendy & Dan show. Looks like a great trip, I think that finding a tiki fan in a thrift store in Oregon happening to you guys is absolutely a kick!

Once again, I watch all of the detail you put into glazing and I'm now exhausted. I glazed a tenth (probably less) of what you did in one sitting today and that was too much for me. Ha!

TikiAno no kidding to all of that!

hang10tiki off hand this is my 4th wedding that I can remember.

TikiHula this wedding will be on October 1st during our crawl. Hey they should attend as their honeymoon, what could be better! Thank you for the call yesterday. Sorry Dan took me away. The slip was stuck in the mold and it takes two of us to coax it out.

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

So many projects are going on right now and I'm so far behind in posting. I wish there were a way to do it faster here rather than one photo at a time.

I'll try to do some catch up right now.

When I go glaze shopping there is a couch that Dan sits on while waiting. I snapped a photo as I passed by.

We went to a vintage sale at the Discovery shop in Elk GRove and I found a Hawaiian walking stick. Someone put a rubber on the bottom. Dan going to leave it.

Still just cleaning up some photos so I can file them away.

Dan brought me more things to repair.

First up was a chipped mug and a dropped and broken Hawaiian man.

Boy, I'm glad Dan was able to get some shut eye. You're pushing him with all of the mold making labor! :wink: (Of course, he's still got tikis on his mind....)

MadDogMike is running another SWAP this one has the Maori theme. I decided to make a mug as if I had a bar called THE MAORI.

A while back I posted the making of the mug now I'll share how I glazed it. First I chose these wild colors.
Image Missing: https://tikicentral.com/resize.php/uploads/251/5780658f.jpg?w=1280&h=1280&fit=max&sharp=5&s=c8aeacc9f466ece200e2931f76a6989f

I poured in Spotted Kiwi. Oh I just realized how appropriate since the official bird for New Zealand it the Kiwi. Cool!

I did the bottom and top and when they were dry I turn the mug upside down so I could check that glazing and then I started the name.

I glazed around the name.

It looks finished but only because it has now had three layers of all these colors.

Next I started the CN green.

Three layers later it has enough but now I'm

going to remove just enough that the detail will be highlighted by being darker than the rest of the tiki.

I'm done wiping off the front.

I made sure that there were crystals clear to the top so that the design will show up.

I am behind in showing all the things I've glazed AND fired. So now I can show the steps and the finished result all together.

Thanks for the visit. Wendy

I had a couple of casts left over a while back so I put them together into a coconut war god goblet.

Now it's time to glaze and fire it and guess what the glazes went to war with each other.

Layer one of three on the war god.

Between each layer I put it outside to dry. Otherwise you may just be wiping off the previous layer with the new one and not have enough glaze on the mug.

Well drying between layers helped me do a good job of putting too much glaze on the coconut and it ran down and reacted with the red glaze.

ModernArtifactsNY thank you, I hope you'll post a photo when you have it.

8FT Tiki that's a better name than goblet. Munktiki is making steins now.

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

Dan works for tikis and it was time to pay him something. I'm so busy that I did the fastest project I could think of which is Moai wall hangings.
I just picked out a whole bunch of glazes and got them done.

I must have put too much glaze on these because a bunch ran off onto the shelf.

This is why kiln shelves are coated with kiln wash. A very poisonous powder mixed with water and brushed on. When melted glaze gets on a shelf. You can knock it off. I will have to put more kiln wash on this spot. I just pulled loose the support. Sometimes I take a chisel to get the flatter pieces off.

I have glazed a batch of necklaces. It takes a while because I also glaze the backsides. I start out by choosing glazes.

DixonAlibi Which ones would you like?

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

I have been having a comedy of errors. First two Tiki Bob mugs didn't cast right and had to be changed from mug into lamps by cutting out the bottoms and adding tops.
Image Missing: https://tikicentral.com/resize.php/uploads/251/57851f78.jpg?w=1280&h=1280&fit=max&sharp=5&s=d9be0a4daf6947d931fb3465520aa701

Next I had some glaze that had dried out. I added water and used a blender to remix the glaze smooth. I forgot to photograph the mess in the kitchen as the glaze flew out of the bowl and all over me and the floor, counters etc. Horrors.

I did get the glaze all smooth and started to glaze these future lamps.
Image Missing: https://tikicentral.com/resize.php/uploads/251/57851f69.jpg?w=1280&h=1280&fit=max&sharp=5&s=6cd6eae6b2c1fcae6db58a459d48974b

No matter how hard I try glaze goes where it shouldn't. This is why I never do the white faces until the end. Even the eye and lips are done first.
Image Missing: https://tikicentral.com/resize.php/uploads/251/57851f5c.jpg?w=1280&h=1280&fit=max&sharp=5&s=54d74e9bb63241a27cd035ee337b2d33

It mostly comes off with a wet cloth but the white cover coat glaze will cover it completely.

I finished them and let them dry.

Then I go over them looking for any tiny missed areas that I glaze using a pin.

Next comes the black cover coat on the eyes and lips.

Then 2-3 layers of white cover coat on the face until I can't see anything except the white.

Next I let them dry completely.

Horrors the glaze has cracked. It could pop off during firing. I guess something happens when it dries out and is reconstituted.

To prevent the glaze from coming off I used a clear glaze over the entire lamp.

When fired they didn't come out brown, they came out green. Surprise!

On the top where there were the most cracks the glaze did separate.

Since these are lamps I just took a matching colored felt pen and colored in the spots.

Next I used finger nail polish (clear) and covered over these spots. Not the tops just look rustic.

The next project is glazing the mug for Buddy. This is for opening night at The Jungle Bird that he and the owners of the Tank House will be showcasing hopefully during the Sacramento Crawl.

This is their signature tiki and logo. I just put them together into this mug.

with a pin. A dot at a time.

Three times with it drying between each layer.

It would be nice to be done with the pin but nope I had to use it for all the glazing around the lettering too.

Next I did the rest of the mug except for the tiki.

zerostreet than you so much. Dan doesn't like the word amazing because its been used so much but I have to say that the number of new and creative projects you've been doing truly amaze me!!!

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

Hello Again. You've seen most of these projects come out of the kiln so now I can back up and let you see how I loaded each level.

So Many times I forget to wipe the bottom clean. This time I remembered just as I started to load the kiln.
Image Missing: https://tikicentral.com/resize.php/uploads/251/5787ecd5.jpg?w=1280&h=1280&fit=max&sharp=5&s=da5d20b5baca93496c4ede5ab62533a2

I used a wet paper towel to remove this glaze to make a clean bottom. Sometime the glaze ends up there anyway and you have to use a dremmel to remove it.

I like to use these spikes under ever glazed piece. That way if the glaze runs it doesn't glue the mug to the shelf.

Here they are on the shelf.

These are the wedding mugs, lamps and one secret project I'm doing for JenTiki.

Here is the same shelf after firing the load.

This is the second level before firing.

Removing the goblet I found all the glaze on the shelf. The mug would have been ruined if it hadn't been up on spikes.
Image Missing: https://tikicentral.com/resize.php/uploads/251/5787ec5f.jpg?w=1280&h=1280&fit=max&sharp=5&s=e5f64a34278f0de062609e2203073e08

If the shelf didn't have kiln wash covering it this would have been fused to the shelf. The kiln wash allows you to pull or knock glaze off. Then you cover the spot with more kiln wash. The Frankoma Coconut goblet ran glaze down the spikes and onto the shelf. Saved again!

The spikes leave little spikes of glaze behind on pieces where they touched glaze. These must be sanded or dremmeled off. These allow me to glaze both sides of the necklaces.

Back to work, Wendy

The story of the wedding mugs continues first with the anticipation that one day they will be ready and so we bought and put together 18 boxes.

Out of the kiln the two most important mugs came out just fine.

I didn't find a glaze in the right color of Raspberry to the pink lips and little flowers will be re-done with enamel.

7 of the brown wedding mugs had problems so I got out my dremmel.

I had to grind off all the brown glaze that had run onto the white faces. This glaze didn't work well at all.

I was able to grind off the brown while still leaving the clear glaze.

It looks good here but there is no shine in the area where I did the grinding. I tried fine steel wool, nope.

I bought this product but it wasn't good enough.

So in the end it was time to glaze these mugs again and to hope for the best.

First layers of white under-glaze and

let it dry each time.

Then layers of the clear.

Between every layer I took them outside to dry faster so I could keep going.

Out of the kiln I inspected each one and guess what? All the places I had re-glazed were perfect but the brown had now run in other areas.

Mostly it was under the noses. On one mug there was now a huge drip.

I got out the dremmel and went to work again until the runny noses and other areas were ground off.

I glazed with white and then

I glazed with clear.

There were two mugs that didn't need any more work. So my five fingers are crossed for these five mugs that they will be fine after the next firing.

Cheers, Wendy

Hi Everyone. I would think after all these posts without a comment that I was posting just for the pleasure of posting except for the number of views that I watch going up each day.

I'm very excited to be nearing three million. Meanwhile here are some catch up photos.

We shop at the Cancer Society Thrift store and we hit the jackpot. More tikis on this shirt than on any other that Dan owns.
He won't wear it until winter when it's cool weather.

There was a sale going on at Uline where I get my boxes. So I ordered them for the crawl mugs and the batch of Hot Tub Hula Girl mugs.
I saw this stack and I said to Dan wow that's a big storage problem.

He said you are only looking at the first part of your order. Oh well I'll throw a table cloth over them and have two more tables.

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

The time had come when I had to glaze the HUGE Tiki Bob Hula Girl Bowl for Owen Wright. This is going to be one heck of a project.

These are some of my instruction pages. I scanned them and asked questions until what he wanted was finalized.
Image Missing: https://tikicentral.com/resize.php/uploads/251/578afc9e.jpg?w=1280&h=1280&fit=max&sharp=5&s=d5e5c241b032fcca8f2d3120bb9b0552

I got out what I thought were all the glazes that I would need for this bowl but I actually am missing a few in this photo.
Image Missing: https://tikicentral.com/resize.php/uploads/251/578afc94.jpg?w=1280&h=1280&fit=max&sharp=5&s=56ae92ab7907564f32930e031a5b3662

The first step was going to be very tricky so I wrapped the bowl up in plastic wrap in case I bumped a side or it dripped.
Image Missing: https://tikicentral.com/resize.php/uploads/251/578afc8a.jpg?w=1280&h=1280&fit=max&sharp=5&s=81cb58099bb9876f332b62a58cfc7391

The area I am glazing is under the flowing hair. I put glaze on my finger so I could feel where it was going. I needed to avoid getting any on her back and that was going to be tricky.
Image Missing: https://tikicentral.com/resize.php/uploads/251/578afc80.jpg?w=1280&h=1280&fit=max&sharp=5&s=c58fafde85561a48c2296dbb06bf08ea

I did it from underneath while the bowl was upright but I couldn't know it it was going into all the small areas so I did it upside down with glaze being able to run into all those areas.

Next I glazed the bottom of the bowl

and the bottoms of the Tiki Bobs.

I did my best to use glaze to paint all these words. I hope he's OK with the size.
Image Missing: https://tikicentral.com/resize.php/uploads/251/578afc4e.jpg?w=1280&h=1280&fit=max&sharp=5&s=3b49afb3b4280740f2f98bb1f0698d4d

Now it will dry before I continue.

I hope you are all out having a fun time. I'm ready for a book and bed. Cheers, Wendy

Looks great as always Wendy! Those Bobs are being difficult. Glad you got them all fixed up.

That bowl looks like a huge project. Can't wait to see how it turns out!

Hang10tiki is in Hawaii right now and coming back soon. I'm sure tomorrow there will be a bunch of vacation photos to show.

lunavideogames the wedding Bob's are horrible because of the glaze. I had to match their colors and that glaze was the best match. I will win the battle eventually. hang10tiki just got back. He said photos soon!!!

Wow hang10tiki those are wonderful first day photos. I hope you got the view of the Royal Hawaiian Hotel that you want on your mug. This is if you still want the one with it and the tiki whose feet you showed off.

I took the same photo of the War God painting at The Tikis.

Did you stay at the Outrigger? We had a view of the Royal Hawaiian that looked like one of your photos when we stayed there.

They saved the huge Banyon Tree when doing the new buildings? That would be one good thing. I will always miss the Marketplace.

I'm ready for day number two!!!

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

More glazing steps on Owen Wright's HUGE Tiki Bob Hula Girl bowl.

Owen has a fondness for the color of a green coconut. I couldn't find a glaze in the color he sent to me. But I had two glazes that maybe combined would work.

I would do a layer of one

and then a layer of the other. Back and forth. I just hope they don't have a chemical reaction and turn purple.

He requested that the bowl be Blue Caprice but that it not go up the girl like in my Hot Tub Hula Girl coconut mugs.

After I poured some in I then brushed it up the sides of the bowl with a wide brush. I did this 3 times.

All done except that

I used a stiff brush to wipe off the glaze that crept up the girls grass skirt.

One of the four tikis had a chin tattoo. I used a pin to place the glaze a dot at a time.

It didn't all go into the carvings but

after it dried I just wiped off the excess. This is black underglaze. I will use a white underglaze to cover the left behind grey color.

His next request was that I do a sand color rim around the bowl. This bowl will have four differently colored Tiki Bob's. To blend them together I did a ring of carving around the bowl that also was on the sides of the tikis. In this photo I'm carrying the sand glaze onto each mug. I tried different things with this bowl that over time I changed. I will show that later.

I always let the glazes dry before starting the next part. That prevents me from messing them up or transferring color where it doesn't belong.

I've only just begun with this bowl. Cheers, Wendy

hang10tiki what a wonderful trip and this is only day 2? You were sure a cute kid and it didn't change, well maybe the hairdo! I'm so happy that Janelle wanted to renew and continue on with one of our favorite tiki friends. I think you could make your own sign so you were wise to pass on it. Keep the photos coming. Thank you.

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

Working on the HUGE bowl for Owen Wright never ends. I have to be so careful. It's really hard to glaze anything because there are so many Tiki Bobs in the way.

I think it's easy to see that I had to do three layers of glaze for every color. Each layer had to dry completely. I made many trips to put it outside in the heat. At least the hula girl is done. Next up four Bobs and a monkey!!!

Great pics Wendy, great pics, Jon, and what a great big bowl!

Wendy, waiting for the runny nose Bob update. Treg, soon (hopefully not too soon) you'll get introduced to a similar runny nose with the little Beachbum. It's no fun, but maybe I'll try a Dremel next time- might help better with Tiki Ari??? :wink:

Jon have a great trip, look forward to seeing more pics. I'll ask my wife the name of this killer Japanese breakfast place in town (if you're still there) and will text to you! So good.

hang10tiki keep the fun flowing our way. I'm really missing Hawaii. You we'll see at Tiki Oasis!!!

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

This bowl is very complicated to glaze. I wanted very much to tie it all together so that it didn't look like a circus. First I carried the carving from the bowl onto each tiki. Now I planned to carry the glaze from each tiki onto the bowl. I made some changes along the way.

I started with the blue tiki which ties into all the dark blue specks in the blue of the bowl.
Image Missing: https://tikicentral.com/resize.php/uploads/251/578e9499.jpg?w=1280&h=1280&fit=max&sharp=5&s=f4425cf0a6b9af1e6b3e71af6601d7df

I continued the blue around the entire bowl. I decided that I wouldn't carry it on to the other tikis which at one point I had planned. Just too busy.

The next tiki is a rust color and

I carried this color around the bowl.

It may look as if each of these bands are done but doing this requires repainting each line three times and then doing it upside down to perfect.

The bowl is so HUGE that I couldn't set a jar of glaze on my table. Because I rotate the bowl a lot while painting. I forgot once. Of course I knocked it off and it was open and black.

I had it down my pant leg too. I tried to wipe it up. This is why I have this extra carpet where I glaze. This is the worst accident I've had there.

Well I really still don't believe it but Dan was able to use Resolve carpet cleaner and to get it all out! Good product.

The color I chose to do around the bowl is orange and an over lay of cream with speckles.

The last color is Espresso and I started with the bowl and

then glazed the tiki.

At his point I have carried a line of sand glaze onto each tiki. This is about to change.

All of this glazing took a few days to accomplish. Now it sits and rests before I start on the monkey and some changes.

hang10tiki thank you so much for all these fun photos. I love the paint on the Beetle. The Gecko'z mugs and Beachbumz shots are fabulous. I like the selfie of you and Janelle together, that was so sweet. 15,000 Aloha shirts, did you get one there? Thank you for the photo of my 3 million views!!!

Danno, I've been working on your Diamond Head Island with Hilton Hawaiian village on it. It needs to fire one more time. Photos will eventually show up here.
I hope I can make your wish come true. I did it now instead of at the end of December because I'm perfecting this technique so I can offer it for others during the next Wish List. I am even doing a HUGE bowl in this manner. Thank you for the congratulations.

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

The HUGE Tiki Bob Hula Girl Monkey bowl is done being glazed. Here are the final steps.

Dan and I looked the bowl over and together decided that it would look better if those sand colored lines were not on the Tiki Bob's. Tying in still needs to look good.
Image Missing: https://tikicentral.com/resize.php/uploads/251/57904ce9.jpg?w=1280&h=1280&fit=max&sharp=5&s=5cf6a45f9d6553e209edde23606613df

So first I used a carving tool to scrap off all the glaze possible.
Image Missing: https://tikicentral.com/resize.php/uploads/251/57904cdf.jpg?w=1280&h=1280&fit=max&sharp=5&s=17b365c5217afd08089371a448d09d48

I got most of it off. I did this on all four tikis.

Then I used water and a brush to take off the rest.

I re-glazed all the areas I'd just cleaned off and then I once again fine tuned the glazing on the lines.

Glazing the tapa Tiki Bob was really hard.

I needed to be a contortionist to get to all the places because

other Bobs were in the way.

Upside down shows all the places that were missed with the bowl was upright.

I saved the little monkey for last. I tied him into the bowl and hula skirt by making the coconut the same green. Owen requested that the fez be blue so that worked well too.

Again the bowl needed to dry overnight.

I did many layers of white underglaze until all the grey on the bisque went away.

I didn't think this day would arrive. I finally have all the colors on this HUGE bowl.

By far this was the most labor intensive glazing job I have ever done. So many different colors.

Next it will need to fire. Oh I so hope the glazes do not run on the faces of these Tiki Bobs. Cheers, Wendy

hang10tiki those are wonderful photos of a terrific trip. I don't want to see them end. When do you move to Hawaii? Nooooo we'd miss you in Las Vegas.

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

The HUGE Tiki Bob Hula Girl Monkey bowl is finished and none of the Tiki Bob's had problems. I need to make the glaze I used on the wedding mugs NO BOBS.

The black glaze did not like the sand glaze and the writing spread out. I just touched it up with some enamel paint that I will back and set in the oven today.

Wendy, wowzers! The bowl is spectacular- though seeing it fired makes me realize just how much work (and coats) went into that piece. Holy moly!

Jon, great pics. How many times did you guys go to La Mariana on this trip?? Jealous!

DixonAlibi thank you. Owen looked this page over so I'm sure he appreciated all the very nice comments. I sure do.

cy as said above. I sure am enjoying watching you create all your wood carvings.

hang10tiki thumbs and Hawaii photos are much appreciated.

hang10tiki did you pay and go inside the Hawaiian Cultural Center. We have gone through it once. Now we just tour the gift shop and outside tikis.

ebtiki ahhhhhhhhh all you men are making me blush.

TikiAno this was a horrible amount of work with so many colors. I'm just glad that Owen is happy. He did have one more request. See below.

hang10tiki the days are passing by too fast. I bet you are ready to return.

hang10tiki how did I get so far behind?

hang10tiki I love the photos of you both and her holding the flowers. We like that mug. We had one and got one as a gift too.

TikiHula thank you for the congrats. About the HUGE bowl...

I would have said, "hey, those ARE the pictures of the finished bowl" except that today Owen requested one more thing.

Here it is. I did a miniature painting of the Kahiki Fireplace on the Monkey's fez as close as I could using a toothpick to paint with.

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

Robyn came over to pick up some mugs and so we took her on a tour. It was her first time to see the tiki jungle room. We had a fun visit.
