Outside is glazed but mostly fired to set the Magic Mender on that broken foot. Hope it works, it's getting too late to start over :o Got glaze coming in on Friday to glaze the inside

No glaze skips, no crazing, no shivering (at least not yet, that usually happens later). The foot seems to be bonded on but I didn't crank on it too much. That glaze brought out the detail. Now back in the kiln Saturday (I hope) to fire the inside glaze. Fingers crossed :D

M MaukaHale Tiki Socialite The base of the Volcano Joined: May 07, 2012 Posts: 967	M MaukaHale Posted posted on Thu, Jul 20, 2017 2:48 PM Here are the beginning posts of my swap project. Originally I was going to use Lino cut printing blocks for an art project but I changed my mind. I'm about to do several carved masks for my home tiki bar so I though doing the first one for the art swap would give me some good experience.

Yes, it's an Arbortech Mini Grinder. The 6"inch belt driven neck attachment allows for great visibility and reach in to tight spaces when power carving. This is my first time using this tool. I've no doubt that cy and other more experienced carvers can lay out a better view of its wood carving capabilities and other applications with a wide variety of attachments. I've really enjoyed using it so far. 8) Chokest mahalo'z to all for da kind words! :drink: :o EXCITING works all around everyone!!! :o Let's keep our fires stoked and creative juices boiling!! :o

I have an idea for a couple of add-ons to work on. I am going on vacation on the 28th, I will be doing the drawing from the beach in Mexico. If my Swap partner won't be at Oasis for the swap, I will mail it out on Aug 7th

I thought the blue was a meteor LOL I should have recognized it from past experience. When I was about 4, my day was cutting with an oxygen-acetylene torch. I asked him what the blue stuff was. He said "What blue stuff?" So I stuck my finger in it to show him :o We still laugh about that 55 years later.

I didn't check volume but I suspect it holds about 2 quarts :o Made a polymer clay Kon Tiki swizzle/garnish pick to go with it. I also ordered some 18 inch straws to send along but I just got a message from Amazon that my jumbo fat smoothie straws have been shipped. Don't know if I'm getting long straws or short fat ones? :(

Well, clear coat is drying in the back yard, but no more painting/detailing. The concept is "what did the tiki look like that inspired that crazy mug?", weathered so as not to be quite so blinding. Hope my swap partner likes it, and big thanks to Mike for relaying it.
