G GROG Grand Member (1 year) Tujunga Joined: Jun 21, 2006 Posts: 7283	G GROG Posted posted on Sat, Jul 26, 2014 8:25 AM GROG waiting for kiln to cool down, so hopefully enough stuff come out of firing good enough to sell so GROG can make a few dollars to buy Sven' book. Wendy Cevola sent GROG photo from Tiki Pop book. Apparently GROG have piece pictured in book (Blue Bob on the left). Next to a BOSKO piece, no less. GROG honored. Thanks Sven. Thankfully, since it's next to a Bosko piece, that must mean it's in the "Tiki Revival" section, rather than the "Downfall of Tiki" section. GROG looking forward to seeing what the vendors/artists are bringing for the art show. First Papa New Guinea themed art show we've had, and it should be a good one. Weather should be nice today in North Hollywood. Looking forward to seeing everybody at 2pm today, and getting GROG' drink on tonight and listening to Tikiyaki perform.

GROG open GROG' kiln, and unfortunately GROG' PNG Spirit Board wall-hanging had some glaze issues. :( GROG going to bring anyways for the art show, but GROG not sell until GROG fix glaze and refire. Don't know why glazed it, because it takes way too long having to put three coats of each color and then there's always a chance something won't come out when it's fired. GROG should have just painted it.

In this short reply on FB world we live in. Whole paragraphs are probably not read anymore. (You might not have even made it to that one above.) Anyways , congrats tiki roots rocker, that's who I voted for. His art is awesome!!! Jeff btd
