You're still leaving the i off in "JEANNIE", though. ----The Spelling Police :)

All the dozen's of times I left off the i, I blame it on my typing skills. I just tried to find them all to correct so that I won't have to go to GROG's jail. Please don't come lock me up we have a HUGE garage sale to pull off.

Say hi to Jeanne when you see her. Wendy

hang10tiki I hope you post many more photos. I really need to see what's on the North Shore of Oahu. Dan's looking at them with me. 10 years ago at the Dole Plantation you could by a huge sausage sandwich and Dole Whip too. It was the best ever sausage sold at a stand on the left outside of the building. Did you see it? Fingers crossed.

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

The last steps for the I Dream of Jeannie bottle. Soon you'll see how I make Jeannie.

Today I was able to dig out the remaining clay from the inside of the bottle stopper. Hopefully I got enough so that it will not crack.

I didn't want to just glue gems onto the bottle where they could be knocked off so I carved out flat areas in which to glue them. I made them larger than the gems because the clay shrinks as it dries and again as it is fired.

I did this for each gem shape I have for the bottle.

The inside is going to be Jeannie's home. I can't really replicate it but I can make some similarities.

I looked at the back wall.

I couldn't get my hand in far enough to do more than a couple of large versions. I will be able to glue gems into the round areas.

The bottle didn't crack today when I would on and off put it out to dry. I am hopeful it will be ok. Cheers, Wendy

hang10tiki is this the end of your trip? Are there more photos? How long did it take to get from the airport to the Turtle Bay Hilton? Was Gecko at La Mariana? Did you video a movie of lightening and then grab a photo from it. I think you have cute feet and I loved the wind messing SewTiki's hair.

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

Wishing you all a happy Easter.

Wish List #8 it's now time to make Jeannie. She doesn't fit into the bottle. Both pieces are stand alone art pieces.

The challenge is changing a mermaid into Jeannie.

I needed a model and it didn't take one day to pick a position it took two days.

hang10tiki...Wow you sure know how to post fancy photos. I'll never know how to do that with mine. I love the flower photos. Did you both have a massage?

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

The PURGE for the tiki garage sale on April 14th, 8 AM until 1 PM continues. Dan decided to start pulling out more expensive mugs so there will be many 2001 early Tiki Farm mugs for $10 and many others like Bosko and Munktiki for $15 to $35. So there will be many unexpected mugs in this sale.

If you need our address just ask.

Dan is searching each shelf in his whole collection looking for mugs he can now bare to part with. He brings me a tray and I price each item and place it on a table. Mugs everywhere so that many people can find something at the same time.

Holy crap! I would go broke at your garage sale, for sure. I actually considered going to California, but we're going to Maui in 3 weeks, and that just seems a little crazy. (Plus I'd spend all my money and then have to ship a lot of boxes back to Canada.) Good luck, I'm sure it will be a huge success!

hang10tiki thank you so much for the trip to Oahu. When do we get to go on your next vacation?

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

Wish List #8 the I Dream of Jeanne bottle the part I almost forgot!

For a very long time the bowl was too soft to pick up. Then one day I remembered that there was a bottom to the bottle that needed a lot of care. So I flipped it over and this is what it looked like.
Image Missing: https://tikicentral.com/resize.php/uploads/251/5ac2dfc5.jpg?w=1280&h=1280&fit=max&sharp=5&s=c2ab2ba7dadf6bd36379c233de659bde

I started slowly carving around the base. I made this bottle very thick so that I could do carvings without problems.

I kept carving and smoothing with a sponge.

Time to check it out. When I looked at this photo I could see that the opening at the bottom was higher on one side. Photos always help. So I adjusted it.

Now I carved out the inside of the ring and

then I did my copy write and made it a 1/1 never to be done again.

The hardest part will be doing the legs so I'm going to clean this up and

It would be so easy to throw a blanket over her legs and to not build them. Not an option so next up will be the hardest part.

Wish List #8 the I Dream of Jeannie statue for Bulkmar needs legs. I had to just keep trying to get it close to being right.

I started by adding big globs of clay.

Slowly keeping air pockets out of the clay I've built her legs.

Taking a step back I can see there's way too much clay and her legs look heavy.

It's time to start over and I begin doing amputations.

I slowly reshape her legs.

I am sooooooooo happy. I'm pointing at an air pocket that I missed. This would have destroyed Jeanne. By starting the legs over she's been saved.

I don't always know what I'm doing but I just keep working with it until it looks right.


I think I need to change our title from tiki garage sale to tiki art sale. Dan is letting these go. Both of the paintings are origianls. The Place of Refuge painting is by A. Swensen 2009 and the next Nightfall painting by Ken Ruzic 2011. We bought them we loved them but never had room to display them as they deserved. So the hope is they go to a home that will really show them off. The last is a wood carving. I can't make out the name of the island where a couple of men found it and put their names on the back. Rub some dark stain on this and it will be outstanding. Dan continues to rip out his heart to make this sale a really good one.

I will raise the garage door enough to push out the check out table and then I'll close it up. Entry will be a 6 foot area at the side of this table at the left side of the large garage. The other garage door will remain close except for a foot to let light inside. This way if you are first in line you will be the first to enter the garage. So line up and be courteous.

I look forward to meeting old friends and to make many new ones. Cheers, Wendy

PS more photos as we find more items

She will have a see through cloth veil, the bottle will have cushions and gem stones. So glad to have this part done. There is still so much left to do and who knows it could all crack or blow up in the kiln.

Wow, the Jeannie project is really coming together. Can't wait to see when you start working on the glazing.

Is this going to be Jeannie or her evil twin sister Jeannie?

Philot the man who ordered works for Disney in Florida so it's defiantly the good girl. I'm glad you like it. The glazing and enamel will make or break it. Oh no I shouldn't say that because it hasn't yet fired. Horrors!


Always working on multiple projects at the same time. So while setting up the garage sale this is what's also going on.

Remember the bowl I broke by losing concentration?

It came out of the kiln just fine. The repair with Magic Mend worked.

We have been lucky. Each work day we find tasks that work with the weather conditions. I sanded in the shed with a heater behind me. I'm wearing ear guards because Dan is outside dusting with the air compressor.

Everyone knows I can't stay away from a good swap. I jumped in and finished sculpting my I Dream Of Hawaii project. The big challenge will be in the glazing.

So here it is, my nightly dream.

I first cast a Tiki Bob.

The sun and Diamond Head.

All done and ready to dry. Then he'll be sanded and bisque fired. That's a ways away.

The work on the Sacramento Crawl mug for October 2010 continues step by step and day by day. It's really adding up now.

Each time we fire we wait until the kiln is room temperature to open it. This prevents cracking.

Also we are going to wash these mugs in very cold weather because it's still winter outside.

They are lining up one by one in the hallway inside our home. We keep them dust free with a plastic cover.

Once they are dry in the garage they come to the shed to further dry.

Dan dusts them. Washing off dust once they are fired is way harder than dusting them first and washing off the residual.

littlegiles oh oh, does that mean no one will show up for our huge tiki garage sale or does it mean none of the glaze will stick to the volcanos and it will all run off the bottom? Our days off will be the day of the sale and the day after as we organize what is leftover!

Hamo Diamond Head are his "bangs". I'm happy you like the dreamer.

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

This is the countdown to the HUGE Tiki Garage Sale. Here are the last of the photos and rules.

April 14th, 2018. Doors open at 8 AM and close at 1 PM.

Here are some more photos.

Dan figured out the best area for hanging the Hawaiian Jam's World shirts for sale.

100% rayon and very well made. Four dollars each, so cheap you could buy them just to wrap your mugs for the trip home!

Here's what the sale looks like from the driveway. We were able to separate two tables so more people could get in close.

The plastic sheets in the back are covering things not for sale. Our garage is decorated tiki so if there's no price tag on something that is hung on a wall then it's not for sale.

This rack hangs well above a doorway. Sit it on a ledge and put in two nails at the top. Dan's selling all the mugs we had on it so he decided to also let the metal rack sell.

table and we'll add up what you spent. Or you can write your name on the box and set in on the driveway with me until you have finished shopping and filling all your boxes. I will have felt pens available during the sale.

hang10tiki you did an accurate description of our days!

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

In addition to our garage sale there is clay work to be done each day. Here's what we have been up to.

There are more volcano crawl mugs and then all the Bumatay Mermaid bowls.
Image Missing: https://tikicentral.com/resize.php/uploads/251/5ace3789.jpg?w=1280&h=1280&fit=max&sharp=5&s=39aff26c9d2b2133aa058efcd78b3de4

Since the volcanos are thicker I decided to do the bowls so that the heat of firing will further insure the volcanos are dry.

I had to wait until the bowl was dry before I could flip it over to clean up the fish attachments. I want to carve down the lumps of clay.

HORRORS! it didn't go well. One of the fish just popped loose, flew through the air and broke into pieces.

I can't fix the fish so I smoothed the area he came from and added the name of a new bar.

Then I sent the bowl to Dan for dusting. I heard an, "OH NO", it happened again a fish came loose.

I did more sanding, Dan dusted and then to the kiln room for the day it will fire.

This bowl was or is for Karen Nichols. I will now inform her of what has happened. Only 6 more bowls to go. Clay is fragile
so many steps can go wrong, Wendy

If you friend me on facebook you will be able to watch a video I made showing everything on the tables for the garage sale.

Today I made sticker tags with the men's sizes on the shirts to make it easier to select what will work for you.

The single garage door will remain closed during the sale so that everyone will stop at the check out table.

Wish List #8 continues on one project at a time. Some projects require a re-do and a re-do and here's what's happening.

The I Dream of Jeanne statue needed to have her bottle nearby in an appropriate size. So here are the steps to making the tiny bottle and what happened at the end.

I just took some clay and made sure there were no air pockets in it.

Then I made this shape and let it sit overnight to firm up.

The next day I started adding clay to build it into the right shape.

From this point on it's add clay and carve.

Even something this small is hard to make so I want credit for it.

All done and very small.

Taking this photo showed me that somehow I had not made the bottle topper the right shape. Comparing the small bottle, the drawing and what I had made was an eye opener. I will make the topper again. This is the third time.

As a friend once said, "hells bells", I'm not sure what it means but it feels right. I have just been told that a mug in our garage sale has been selling on eBay for $300 to $400 dollars. The person that told me offered $200 if I would take it out of the sale and ship it to him.

Well I can't be really stupid so I raised the price to $150 making it the most expensive item in our sale. If it sells great, if not I will ship it to the person who told me who is in Florida. Sorry to those who wanted it for the first price.

I hope by letting everyone know on all my posts that no one will make a trip to our home just for this one mug whose price is now higher.

Thank you, danlovestikis aka Wendy

hang10tiki now it's tomorrow. Fingers crossed that it goes well.

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

Jungle Bird is open noon until 1 AM on the day of our sale.
Those of us in Sacramento know that we are very fortunate to have this very authentic tiki bar so close by.
Be sure to visit after you are done at our sale. The food, drinks and atmosphere are all you could hope
for so don't miss it.

Address: 2516 J St, Sacramento, CA 95816

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

Today we finished stetting up inside.

I set up the two original paintings. Ken Ruzic's is covered with glass but that can be removed.

I put together bags of similar or related items and added them to the sale.

Tiki Mugs: Cult Aritfacts of Polynesian Pop by Jay Strongman

I have one of these books in my garage sale. After being notified of it's "worth". I looked further. While people are asking for $1,000 to $9,000 for one of these books on Amazon the last one sold on eBay for $195. So the price for my copy, in excellent unread condition is now $85. This will be one of two items in the sale that we would actually make a profit on. The rest are deeply discounted to move out of our garage. I hope you can all make it there. Wendy

The sale is over and we are exhausted. It went like this...

7 PM the first people arrive and spend the night in their car.

6 AM the largest number of people start to arrive.

8 AM we open the door and the everyone fit into the garage perfectly. They filled boxes put their names on the boxes and put them on the driveway.

9 AM everyone has paid and is on their way to other places.

9 AM until 1 PM we had only a few people come so it was our pleasure to not only sell items but to give them all a full tiki home tour.

Everyone was delightful. Otto and Baby Doe saw our home for the first time and scooped up boxes of treasure even though they came late.

We still have tiki mugs and miscellaneous for sale. If you want to come over send me a message, there are lots of bargains. Photos soon.

Now it's time to rest. Thank you all for making our garage sale such a success.

Cheers, Wendy
