Very cool MP. Love the Square Bob and the skull. The velvet piece is looking fantastic.
Great meeting at the FI sale. Next time lets make more time to talk.

Hello all, A little update.
Big Thank You's to all who picked up a little mp mug or decanter
lately. I appreciate the support!
I have the png inspired frank decanter in the marketplace
right now if anyone is interested.
http://www.tikiroom.com/tikicentral/bb/viewtopic.php?topic=34444&forum=12&10
Ive been busy lately trying to finish a ton of projects all at once.
Kenny thanks for the patience on the trade. I have cut out the backing board
and attached the velvet. Also got a little more color down.
Back to it tonight once moms home from work. Sorry about the flash.
Heres a little progress on the best thing kinny's ever posted
And here I have new project Im doing at art time with my son calvin.
He has informed me lately that we will be working on separate projects
for the time being. he is into lincoln logs lately and dad wants to
play with clay.

His name is "Choppa the mug". I think I was dreaming of "chop the mug" and Squids' PNG hut tiki mug
at the time I started it.
Maddog, Thanks for the props. I am really happy with its turnout so far.cant wait to see more of your
Tiki Xmas swag.
SwampFire, It was awesome to rap with you at the sale. What can I say, your work is sweeeeeet. I hope to
see you again and chat some more.
Thanks Bowana! I appreciate it. I need some sales to get my kiln up and firing.
Thats what I have for now. Thanks for looking.

Hey Mike,
Love the hair doo on this latest
I remember way back when, when I was doing a lot of raku firings, that I tried some of those food safe cone 06 glazes out on some pieces I did...and if I remember right, it seemed to flow fine and did not crackle - you might want to try out a few test trees the next time you do a fire dance. If it works on the inside of these guys they might become more functional?
Great work brother Mike! Keep on slinging that mud!

That's slicker than a pig's gut MP!

Just received my Therm Tower & Frank mugs in the mail today, MP, and they look great! Scratch two off my list as I eagerly await the Skull & Square Bob mugs...
Thanks again.

Choppa the Mug looks great! When you going to carve some tikis out of those lil' logs? Every log cabin needs a tiki.

Hey everyone, thanks for check'n my stuff!
So at the end of my page I wrote "Choppa the Mug" as the title
of my new piece. I meant to write "Choppa da Hut". But then kenny
coined "Choppa the hut" later. Dangnet, how can I let'm know I thought
of it first. Hummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, I know!
Flux Capaticors!
Heres the kenny Trade painting finished. Finally, sheeeeesh!
Fuzzy, better pics later
 
Kenny I hope you like the PNG Cobras. Gotta take some good pics and wrap it up for shipping.
Babalu - Thanks a lot. I talk to Maddog about using low fire in raku.
We also talk about it in my clay group and everyones "like" why the hell not.
So I was "like" ok, I'll do it. And they were like, and blah, blah bla
Im gonna raku again soon with a bunch of low fire glazes. Cool seeing those
buzzy pics of you at work. Keep rockin.
Maddog - It is a hat, Its a hut-hat. Soon to be the rage at your local Pacific Sunwear.
Grog - Thanks for stopping in. Also, thank you again for having me down to the hand built show in April.
I have been super busy and inspired since. I wish I could come down for Tiki Wonderland.
Please have another Hand Built show this year, I would come down there in a heartbeat.
Tobor64 - Thanks for the support brother. I dont know when the new mugs will be done
but its on the list.
TikiMango - Your right, our log cabin needs a tiki. We have more logs coming in the mail.
Thanks for coming by.
Iokona Ki'i - Thanks a lot! Hes getting bisque fired right now. Im hoping for the best.
I get a little lazy with the hand building joinery sometimes.
Cheers everyone
