Thanks All, Thanks a bunch Ben Davis, I have all ways liked your art!
Some New Stuff:
First is my Go Tiki (Loa Tiki) Mug - Loa meaning Tall
Next is my Go Tiki (Pokole Tiki) Mug - Pokole meaning Small
Next is my Go Tiki (King Kamehameha) Mug - I wanted to glaze it like a lava look sculpt with a gold helmet, But gold glaze has lead in it, So I went for a pewter - chrome look glaze instead.
Lastly is my Go Tiki (Ta Moko) Maori Mug - Dani thinks he's creepy! I like the detail myself!
What you think? Mahalo! Gogo
Comming soon! Lonley Mermaid clam shell bowl!

I don't like the red lips on the moko. Reminds me of a wrinkled old lady instead of tattooed! Otherwise, I dig your designs. Very creative stuff!

That would be a fun one for sure! Hooking up and selling some "Hand" made items, From one artist to another, I vote your latest mug as the all time great! Mug of the year at the least! http://www.tikiroom.com/tikicentral/bb/viewtopic.php?topic=24647&forum=18&start=180&201 Mahalo! Gogo

The white skin, blond hair and red lips don't really work for me (very much a "Pakeha Maori"), but if you make a version the same colour (golden brown) as the candle it's cast from I'd be all over it:
I had one of these forever growing up (til I finally burnt it in my 20s) and have wanted another for ages. A ceramic version for my mug cabinet would be even better!

I did use a picture I found on-line as the base for my mug design, I can make you one, No problem, Mine is a little different from the candle, It appears the candle is much of the same as the picture, I sculpted from, But the top and bottom is a little different?

Here is my picture, I found on-line for my base sculpt.
I hope I didn't make to close of a copy someones work? I didn't know someone made a candle like the picture too? I think to save face, Even though I put a lot of work into this mug, I won't make it, To close to someone else work!

Here is my Go Tiki (Lonely Mermaid) Clam Shell Bowl - I think it turned out pretty cool, Cocktail bowl for one or two people, Long straws work best!
What you think? Mahalo! Gogo

The "Lonely Mermaid" bowl is a beauty. The mugs are very cool as well. The eyes on the Maori mug are haunting.

Very cool Lonely Mermaid, Gogo!! But me thinks she needs a hot little Merman next to her to make her a little less lonely

GoGo,
I finally got a chance to break in my FOM mug up at Bargoyle's Lono Lounge in CT this past weekend.
Let me know when I can get a Kamehameha mug? Oasis?

Go, you're making good molds and the the glazes are detailed and a great color combination. You should make an orignal design / sclupt and start to sell mugs that are Go Go tiki. Like a run of 50. Love to see that
