Thanks for visiting, guys!

Lake Surfer, I gotta keep pushing up the levels or else I'm going to sink in the ocean of all the other cool stuff people are showing here on TC!

Yeah, whoops! Where's the Pig Boat, Jonesy?!

Crap, just when I got GROG back together he went and got his brains blown out again. You've only got so many lives left, my Neanderthal Brother!

Maddogmike, yeah the Fresh Pork Show is shaping up nicely so far. Frankenpig looks all wired up and ready to wreak some ruinin!!

LLT, I thought pigs couldn't fly either, put then one of them invented the airplane!

Now back to these mugs! I finally got them glazed courtesy of Babalu's Magic Kiln. Thanks for the use of your studio, Sir BabaO'Riley!

Lil' Tuff Guy about to spring off the base!


I think the white glaze on the inside gives it rather a coconut flavor, don't you?

This one is basically the same Ali'i style that I've carved out of wood before. Seemed to be a good shape for a mug, thought I.

Thanks for stopping by and blah, blah, blah! :)

Bowie

All great designs as usual sir!

B

Somebody get a rope...

L

yawn

that's it?

I thought you would like wow us or something.....

:wink:

Why do you always carve something that GROG gotta have but cannot afford?

Blah, marvelous, blah, amazing, blah, thank's for sharing, blah blah blah...

B

Thanks, Sir Mango Ray! (or is that Rango May?)

Babalu, I hope that rope is long enough for two...

leleliz, you just wait girl, the next one is gonna wow you like you wouldn't believe...

Thanks, '61surf (good year, btw)! Lil' Tuff guy already has a buyer, but the Ali'i is still up for grabs!

Thanks for taking a look, Benz!

Bowana like to watch GROG blow brains out that's why!

Blah Merci, blah laojia! :)

GROG correct! Bai keeps me humble all right She's a very talented artist and I feel honored to have met her!

Here's my latest. It's a mug!


This girl was very difficult to photograph. Thanks Babalu for the help!

The hair piece is a separate lid with a hole for stickin' a straw into.
I think the piece works well either way. I didn't like the look of the hollow head, so I added the lid.

It's hard to see it, but the pendant is a little Tiki. For size reference, here she is with a familiar face.
Actual height including the hair is 9 1/2".

Next she goes into the kiln to meet the fire of Pele!! :o

Thanks for looking! :)

Bowie

L

awesome!!!

Nuts, just nuts.

If you had any more talent built up in you, you'd explode.

Oh sorry, never say explode to a mug maker.

Beautiful work!

I cant believe I havent seen this thread before. Awesome stuff here. I'm looking forward to see whet you do next.

GROG posted on Mon, Mar 1, 2010 2:58 AM

Aw crap! Yet another piece GRog want, but can't afford. Why do you post these when GROG not have a job? You just live to frustrate GROG don't you, you bastard?!

B

Holy Moly Bowie, Three Cheers for you. She is another example of your Incredible skills, You are making it Really Really difficult for us beginners!!

T

Wow, whatta perfect sculpt! I can't wait to see how she finishes off.

SO GOOD
YOU'RE GETTING DANGEROUS!
ruiner!!!!

How you gonna top this latest one?
HUH?

That is excellent! Good luck in the firing stage. That's gonna be a stunner!

B

Get a rope :)

Bowana, you just quietly sit in the background and sculpt without fanfare but your pieces always rise to the top like cream!

Bring on the fires of Pele!!
Awesome.

unbelievable!!!! very very nice sculpting!!! a stunner hats off!!! cheerz!!

S

Yes Sir. Fine work there hands down.

leleliz- Thanks! :)
Lake Surfer- Yeah, "explode" is one word you want to be careful using around a ceramicist. Good joke though! :lol:
SDshirtman- I haven't posting much these days. Thanks for stopping by!
GROG-Yes, Bowana live to frustrate GROG!
Benz- Beginners? I hope you were not referring to yourself!!
Tikimango- Thanks, I am also eager to see how she gets finished!

AlohaStation- She made it through the firing! Thanks!
Babalu- I got a rope. It's for you though... :)
MadDogMike-Thanks. yep, that's just the way I roll.
surfintiki- She has matched wits with the fires of Pele!
BIG tiki scott- Thank you for your visit, sir!
seeksurf- Thank you for your visit too, sir!
laojia- Merci from the Exotica Venus de Milo!
Bai- Merci to you too, my friend! :) Don't be confused! Every word I said about you is the truth!

Thanks everyone for your visit! Plain Jane has survived the bisque, but I haven't done any glazing on her as of yet, but soon! In the meantime I started on something completely different.

Ever wonder what would happen if:

were to meet:

?
In other words, Giger meets Cocojoes. I wonder about this all the time, so I decided to see for myself what the result would be. This is what I came up with.


All this and it's a mug too!

I decided to call this piece "Aloha". Can't cha just feel the love? :)

Thanks for looking!

Bowie
