Very soon, I promise! Just loaded 10 into the kiln, along with the Cradle of The Golden Mug moai and the Tiki Swap mugs (which I am gonna call "The Ambassadors")
Remember - colors will change during the firing! I would have loaded more glazed tiles - but my eagerly anticipated box of new glaze arrived wrapped in a soggy garbage bag. Apparently it blew a leak somewhere over the pacific and destroyed untold number of adjacent packages before reaching me. Called the glaze company, and hopefully they will re-ship tomorrow so I can get these tiles done!
Mahalo for peeking

Crazy stuff there Henrik! Hope no one was injured in the great glaze explosion of '09.

Step right up folks and cast your vote!
One of these wall hanging PNG-esque mask/straw holders is for the Tiki Central Summer Art Swap, and one is for sale. The question is, which is which? What mug should set sail for the Bay of E (eBay, that is)? Lemmie know what you think - I'll tabulate this afternoon!
Mahalo,
Henrik

No, #1 for Swap and #2 for sale
(Actually, they're both awesome and I don't have a preference, I just wanted to be disagreeable  )

Mahalo for the votes everyone - Looks like #2 will be sailing off to the Bay of E this weekend. Folks posting on the VanTiki FB page were really focused on #2! Putting together the pictures/webpage now. Stay tuned...
Mahalos!
Henrik

Ok!
The Cradle of The Golden Mug is done, and I am in love with it. Looks quite nice hanging on a wall. Here are a few shots (yes, it is ginormous):
More photos and info can be found here:

I'll post in the marketplace when the auction kicks off this weekend.
Mahalo for peeking!

I so wish you would make multiples (I'm sure I'm not alone on this). That wall plaque rocks!
