Thanks to Holden!, We have been working on a volcano bowl that would serve 10 people, For a So.Cal restraunt, The bowl holds a wooping 160oz -5 quarts! Yikes! The Moai's are inlaid with real New Zealand abalone, Here's our artist proof, Thanks Holden very much appreciated, This bowl would not have never come to be! Mahalo! Gogo
We are going to bring out the sand bottom more to the inside of the bowl, And make the volcano a little bit lighter brown, What you think? Thanks for looking at my post! Gogo

Thanks Whoo-Hoo Karen, Still working on the glaze a bit, Going to make the volcano lighter, The sand wider, The outside browner, Should look cool when done, This is just an idea on how it will look, This is a large project to test glaze! The bowl is well over a foot round! I Need to refine the hut village a little bit, hugs Karen, Gogo

Hey Thanks All! I have had a lot of people wanting a GO-T-Moai lamp, The price is $125.00 including the lamp kit installed, You supply your favorite shade, I suggest DeadlyNightshades.com, I make these in various colors, I'll have some ready to vend at the next invited show! Here is my latest retro look lamp:
Would Look Great In Your Tiki Bar! What You Think? Mahalo! Gogo

Wow! Who wants to think about the Holiday's all ready! Well I have to, If I want to get a run of 25 plus mugs out of a single mold! In time for the Holidays, Our "Mo-Ho-Ho-Ho" mug - Moai meets old world Santa Claus, Maybe even a Rabi look too! The red, white and black glaze will make this pop! For sure, It will be a fun mug for the Holiday cheer! Here is the sculpt pictures:
Cheers! Gogo

I have noticed in the Tiki World, That there is not much showing for stand alone mugs and ceramics, Unless your Squid! Great showing and what a Grand display of art! Or Crazy Al too! Almost all shows are hung artwork by Great artist, Well I'm not a painter/artist. My canvas is on ceramics as well as Dani, I'm going to move on into the 3D world of art and combine my ceramics into paintings, Though a small example with these plaques, I'm going to move on to some large scale wall art, With my ceramics, I would love to work with Kinny, because he's my friend, Or whoever has the vision that I do? Who knows, I just might buy me some paints and brushes and paint myself! I'm going to be working on a large scale art wall hanging soon, I think 3D art is going to be the next cool thing! I hade this idea for years, Well before mugs where cut in half and then art worked, I just wasn't know enough to be able to approach this idea!
Maori with real New Zealand Abalone:
Kowloon Tiki:
Pineapple Tiki:
I think the plaques would look cool with some paint artist flair!
The Big wall art will look cool, When I finish all the ceramic pieces!
What you think? Gogo

I did have the opportunity to see these in "real life" last weekend and they look very cool.... great idea, I would also like to see the art talents of a few out there add their own touch to the plague. I'd like one with some great surf art myself.
I was lucky enough to score a Moai eye lamp last weekend from GoTiki.. I just ordered a fiberglass shade for it. It's gonna be badass! I'll post a picture soon as the shade arrives. Thanks Gogo & Dani!

Pretty cool, Go Tiki. But I think I would have left his face stone colored -- gray/brown. For some reason I find that funnier.

Gogo, I have to agree with arriano. I think he looses his "Moainess" when he's not stone colored. What's the plan for him? He'd make a great lamp!

Thanks All, I'll glaze his face in stone, That's why I post my stuff on here to get some input, Thank You! Mike the "Mo-Ho-Ho-Ho" is going to be a mug, Thanks Mike, I appreciate the feedback! Well, I have always admired the Pin-Up art from my Rock-A-Billy days, So I want to craft some Pin-Up hula girl lamps, mugs, and ashtrays, So here is my finished sculpt of my Pin-Up hula girl ashtray to start, After bisque, I think I'll have Dani glaze a bikini or bikini and skirt on her, With of course a hibiscus flower in her hair, What You Think, I'm excited to see this atomic look ashtray glazed! Mahalo! Gogo

Love the ashtray design (although, as a Respiratory Therapist, I can't condone it's use ) What is the material? Looks like it has striations like onyx or marble. I've been wondering about using high fired translucent porcelain and marbling it to make faux jade or onyx, will that work?
