M MakeDaMug Member behind a cluttered desk Joined: Mar 28, 2002 Posts: 1183	M MakeDaMug Posted posted on Fri, Mar 30, 2007 4:47 PM First to the Flounder piece... We've gone through a boatload of glazes, tryin' to glaze this puppy. It's got so much smooth surface texture that our traditional reactive glazes made it look blothcy. Then, one day while down in the lab, we played around with some compounds and the result was... supersonic! We proudly present you with an ultra cool new space age glaze on our ultra cool new space age offering... Arriving mid-April and available ONLY on the Tiki Farm website! This one's made in the good ol' US of A! Next up, our first project with the super-duper talented Dirty Donny... At the complete other end of the spectrum. Far, far away from the furthest recesses of the universe but rather deep, deep in the deepest jungles of Africa, we bring you "The Unlucky Tourist" decanter. Be afraid... be very afraid!! The Unlucky Tourist will be available both through the Tiki Farm website and our retailers worldwide. Mahaloz!

I wasn't looking for silver but here it is. It would only work on designs that don't have intricate detailing but rather larger, thicker cuts and smooth raised areas (i.e. this would totally muddle up Tron & Vic). Would anybody on TC like to see a silver mug? I'm thinking it would have to be a mid-modern, slick bachelorpad inspired Tiki mug. Mahaloz! Holden [ Edited by: makedamug 2007-04-03 19:35 ]

M minitor Member Berkeley, CA Joined: Mar 11, 2004 Posts: 77	M minitor Posted posted on Mon, Apr 9, 2007 7:09 PM I'd love to see the Sqilver Squll with a gold tooth. All that great detailing would be lost, but just imagine how cool all the neighboring tikis reflecting off the sqilver would look. Or how about a silver suffering bastard to look at the morning after??

R Rattiki Member Key West, FL Joined: May 03, 2003 Posts: 422	R Rattiki Posted posted on Mon, May 7, 2007 8:42 PM Finally got mine today (I know 1st hand how frustrating it is to produce anything and get it right in Mexico, or the Philippines, or Honduras or... :o ) and it is MOST excelent! I'm wondering what's the story with the hole in the head with the plastic stopper though, not that I mind as I replaced it with a cork (easily bought in a local craft shop) and would love to eventually put in an approriate pourer there. Any suggestions? Carl P.S. I'm still waiting patiently for the announcment of the upcoming Kahiki Moai mug.....as I am on the 'list' :wink: :lol: [ Edited by: Rattiki 2007-05-07 20:51 ]

When unplugged, it serves as an air-hole, facilitating a smooth & easy pour (without it, pouring would be a bitch... runnin' all over the noggin) You can fill up the Tourist, remove the plug & stick a straw through the hole... decanter becomes mug!
TM Tipsy McStagger Tiki Socialite HELL Joined: Nov 21, 2004 Posts: 3685	TM Tipsy McStagger Posted posted on Mon, May 7, 2007 10:08 PM got mine today....it really is a nice lookin decanter....great sculpt. Looks better in real life thatn the photos. my only problem is that the cork fell off the cap 5 seconds out of the box....Is there any way to use a plastic or rubber stopper on future decanters with a shoulder and lip on it that is captured by the ceramic cap ?? doesn't seem like the glue will hold up under regular use.... the doug horne mugs are really great too!! I am quite happy with all my latest tiki farm aquisitions....
