Great writeup! Congrats!

Prikli Pear than you very much. I have fun seeing who has read it but most of the time it's just the number of views. Wendy

Fox40.com Fox news showed up on our doorstep yesterday and surprised us. They were ready to film our collection if we said YES. Of course we did.

There were only two things I would have changed. One although I told them about our new tiki place the JUNGLE BIRD on 21st and J St. in Sacramento, CA they didn't mention it. The other spot was when they mentioned my Wish List they showed a photo of a mug by the Witch Doctor. Oh well, otherwise they did a good job. Wendy

April 17th, 2017

A second tiki blog by Tiki Ray. The first was on my art, this one is on our tiki art collection.

We have had a great year and we owe it all to good friends and tiki art. Wendy

I recently couldn't find photos of my Maori lamp posted so I'm doing it now.

I used a felt pen to draw designs on the shade. This is my super version of the lamp where I have added pieces around the tiki and then carved them.

Each time I make a lamp I hand carve it so each one is unique.

Side view.

Thank you for checking out my work, Wendy

The mug for the MadDogMike Summer 2017 Stephen Crane Swap is done.

I do these so I can put them on my Gallery page.

For Justin Wojslaw a gift for his bosses.

For Raymond McCormic.

Wish List #7 I'm actually shipping before I even post the finished photos. I am so lucky that people trust me.

I remembered to photograph one of the shelves when loading and

when it had cooled from firing. Both times I forgot the other shelf.

Dan carries the heavy trays inside for me.

He put them on the couch and I did an inspection. Those that passed got photographed and then shipped.

This is a special order for HEATH's wife.

This Hula Bob is for Bill and Kristen Beirerle

Brian Kat is a member of the Sacramento Ohana so he was able to come and pick up his King Diamond mug.

Here are the photos of Matt Tiki Man Willis's Fun Fake Elvis mug. He was also born in 1961.

This Kava Kava Man Lamp is for CY

This coconut Tiki Bob bowl is for Chippy.

The Mars Attacks mug. The glazing was insane to do but it all turned out OK.

Continuing on with Wish List #7.

This very tall Tiki Bob bowl is for David Nelms aka Chippy.

It has a removable small Tiki Bob made on top to hold a flaming rum sugar cube.

I didn't center it too well for the photo.

Here I removed it to show the spotted interior.

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

A lot of different glaze colors for this mermaid Robyn's mug.

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

The next two mermaid statues are for Robyn and HB Tiki.

I've tried to make the first mermaid look like Robyn. I made her favorite hair adornment with seahorse to make it work.

Wish List #7. This Disney tiki made into a mug is for Tiki Wahini aka Lynn L. Bloom. Yep she had two wishes.

AmaZing Wendy
Keep up the great work

Love my two new mugs
(Royal Hawaiian lost Tiki and Brain Bob)

Hugs

hang10tiki you came up with some great ideas that were fun to make. Thank you!

lunavideogames has a home tiki bar. These mugs are for his bar which is named Tiki The Hut. He is a Star Wars fan. Here are his four mugs.

The last mug is the most like Jaba with a tail.

Awesome
Can't wait to see one or more in person

hang10tiki just another week and your wish will come true.

These are things that I made for Mahalo Tiki to sell at Tiki Oasis 17. I made these along with the crawl mug and the Wish List #7.

A one of a kind King's Goblet coconut mug.

#5 Rapa Nui mug.

An AP Ren Clark tribute mug.

I did three glaze test Tiki Bob's. I wanted to see how layering the glazes would work out.

Just having fun but Nelson will see if anyone likes them enough to hand over some bucks.

I did two Cat Tiki Bob's front and back.

Wish List #7 this is for Kim McCormick.

This painting has been done for Tiki Oasis 17 the Art Show. It comes with a mug.

The title is I SPY U and is based on the Disneyland Tikis.

Here is how I have the finished painting with the mug ready to hang at Tiki Oasis 17.

Wish List #7 another Tiki Bobbette in a moo moo for Dan.

My new technique called stirred clay. I use a spike to disrupt the surface of the clay to make a design.

Wish List #7 this was part of a wish that failed. I used the tiki to make Cookin Tiki which Dan took away.

Wish List #7 for Jeffrey Bannow here on TC.

I used a different Disney bird for this one since there was room and I try to change each picture.

I found a black bamboo frame. I once saw black bamboo growing on the island of Kauai. It's beautiful.

Hanging in his home.

Three styles of Disney mugs.

Only one didn't make it and it was from this group.

A rat fink Tiki Bob necklace.

Wish List #8 this is for Tiki Wahini aka Lynn L. Bloom.

This black velvet is for Stephen Seaton during Wish List #8.

A few days after thinking I was finished I decided to go back and to add one more skinny bamboo stalk behind the center tikis head. It balanced the whole painting.

Your paintings are amazing Wendy

hang10tiki Dan and I are still enjoying the video you made for us. It's time for a re-run. Thank you always. Wendy

:)

Wish List #8 continues with these projects.

The kiln is opened and the first mug out is for Ken Kim McCormick. This is the Honu necklace mug. A necklace hung on a mug for safe keeping.

This next mug is the Birdy Bob. There are Bird beaks, Beaks with heads and whole body birds all over the mug.

An 8 pound Moai bowl. It's huge.

The Frankoma Lamp base is another project without any problems. First two photos with a flash.

No flash used for these.

Time to unveil the I Dream Of Hawaii mug for the Tiki Central Swap being run by MadDogMike. I'm done and ready to ship on the swap day.

A custom Hot Tub Hula Girl for Anthony Vega.

Wish List #8 has requests for six O2 out Diver's Helmets. This is the first one glazed. I am going to re-glaze the skull to a more creamy color as suggested by a viewer.

Coral.

Seashell.

It was suggested that I change the color of the skull and I did just that. An improvement for sure. Thank you Peter Underwood.

Stepping back in time to the day I opened the kiln. Top rack and

then the bottom rack. That's just light refection on the Moai bowl.

Stephen Steaton requested these mugs with no upper rim and red bursts on the inside for his custom version. Each of the tikis are hand built.

All three of the tops of his mugs needs more glaze. So back in the kiln they will go.

Here are the rest of the mugs. They are all spoken for, even hang10tiki has one coming.
