GROG hoping to get everything finished for the art show/ Tiki mag release party at the Tonga Hut this Saturday. GROG gotta get 5 hand-made mugs, and two pairs of salt shakers fired, glazed, and fired again this week. GROG and Kirby bought a kiln together we found on Criagslist, so hopefully GROG can figure out how to work that baby and get GROG' hand-made ceramics finished this week. GROG managed to get a hand-made pendant done as well. GROG will probably do some more "origami" to sell, and you get a free "cartoony" drawing with purchase.
GROG can't wait to see the new Tiki Magazine with Doug Horne's awesome cover. A number of people have told GROG they would love to have a print of that image.

Ernie, Good luck getting your pieces finished. Your new Moai mugs look awesome.
I hope you and everyone sell all your wares. I wish I could be there. MP

Nice flyer. Going to be a good show. Tonga Hut on VICTORY, not Victoria.
Thanks MP. GROG download PDF of Kiln Manual last night, so GROG gotta do some reading, and also have to go get some cones for kiln today. Kilns are fired to cones, rather than a certain temperature. The cones indicate how much heat has been absorbed by the pieces.
Unfortunately GROG not have camera to photo stuff GROG bringing.

Firing up the kiln for it's first test fire today. Hopefully everyhing will be A-Okay and tomorrow GROG can fire the rest of GROG' hand-made ceramics.
GROG not have camera, but GROG have scanner, so here's some of the other hand-made crap GROG making. These are still greenware and need to be fired and glazed.
Salt and pepper shaker Moais 3 3/4" tall.
Salt and pepper shaker Tiki Bobs 3 1/4" tall.
Another hand-made GROG Moai mug. 7 inches tall.

I'll have my new mug, PuPu, as well as a bunch of new ceramic necklaces! Also, a 2ft tiki... felt good to carve after over a year. Some Volcano Island bowls, and the last of Lekookoo! Lekookoo and PuPu will only be $40, I reduced the price since I don't have to ship these!
aLoHa, see you all there!

NICE....Tonga Hut needs more cool stuff like this.
On a side note, They're adding the Jungle jetsetter cocktail to the drink menu. You can go in there and ask for one....Nikki makes them perfectly too !
I'm there for sure on Sat.
