Hey thanks you guys  
Well, it's been awhile...I've done bit of traveling, and have just been generally swamped with what was suppose to be a 9 to 5.
Sill, I've had a little time to sling a little mud.
This is a work titled "Hunter" - handbuilt ceramic, size: humm, the rabbit hole is around 16" in diameter, 10" to the highest point. It's hollow...about 3/8" thick.
I had a great time at the openning last night!! Great seeing Ohana. If you get a chance to go to the show, your going to see some wonderful work there by some really talented folks.

 Perfect - I love the way it turned out! He's got his butt sticking up in the air, I hope he doesn't have a firing vent hole like the baboon

Thanks for the comments you guys! Your the best!
Sir Squid and I had a free day a while back while we were waiting for a kiln to cool, and we tag teamed out this rather large Volcano Bowl...I just finally got around to glazing it.
It's quite a spin on a drinking bowl...it has a pump in it to keep stirring that cocktail for you (water substituted in pictures). The cocktail flows out under the top bowl and drips off of the stalactites into the main bowl below. Three fire pockets in the volcano. Thanks for the kicks Squidly!!
Here is a little work in progress that I started yesterday at Kinny's little Art Jam. Of course, it is not tiki inspired, but it was fun to do. I sculpt these SeaHares / MerBunnies solid, hack them up, hollow them out, and put them back together again, then do all the detail work to it after. You can see that I'm right at the hacking / hollowing stage with it right now...more progress to post soon.
I only took one phone shot at kinny's of the initial build up 
Now today in my studio - the hack up.
putting Humpty Dumpty back together again
Thanks for stopping in!

Thanks for bringing that volcano bow.wedding cake down for the jam,Babs...
That thing is a WONDER! All full of mystery and texture and the soothing sound
of water/booze drippin down the stalactites!
Awesome collab with Sir Squizz!
and i see you've hacked up the bun-bun mermaid
for the next level of work!
i was amazed how fast she came together at the jam!
i am honored to have such talented guys like you as friends!
Thanks again for the visit!

Rick, the bowl came out AWESOME! Nice stone look on the outside, cool crystalline glaze on the inside, and the stalagites (stalagmites?) worked just like they were supposed to.
The MerBunny is combination of 2 of the best things this world has to offer - Mermaids & Playboy Bunnies! How could that be wrong? Like Peas & Carrots, or Chocolate & Peanut Butter.
