It was great to put the finishing touches on the Al Dead bowl. Left the next day for vacation (including the upcoming Tiki Caliente Woohoo) so I'll be taking lots of photos of it in action when I get home.
Loving all the mug photos!

hang10tiki the second mug has a Bumatay on the back.
TikiHula I've seen some fun photos of your trip on facebook.
hang10tiki I just heard that MadDogMike can't make it to Caliente. Too many wedding details to take care of right now.

More photographs by Mitch.
This section of mugs a mostly vintage.
My Tiki Crate mugs for Forbidden Island.
============================================================================
Tiki Atari's Uber #3 for kickstarter rewards. This is the Tapa version he requested.
I started with seaweed growing on the bottom. Then I made wavy water lines through it. I carried that theme around the mug.
Next I carved the boxes that will hold the Tapa Designs. Front
and back.
All done.
I have one mug left to do and I get to decide what to do with it. More fun tomorrow.
Cheers,Wendy

So. Much. Good. Stuff.
Missed a few days due to work, so many great things. Hula's painting gold letters, Wendy's painting gold tikis, checks, Aloha shirts in the mail, holy moly.
As Jon said, it's (always) a good episode of the Dan & Wendy (Wendy & Dan?) show?

TikiAno and I've also started to work on the swap project.
ebtiki I really enjoy doing tapa carvings. I bought a tapa book.
hang10tiki I have my fingers crossed that the 108 degrees won't scare off a few more friends. I love Caliente but even that temperature is too high for me to be comfortable.

A wall of my bathroom taken in black and white.
A different wall of my bathroom where I huge seahorses that were in different colors.
Spare bedroom. I had to get up and check...nope my carpet is not buckled.
Mai Kai by Tiki Farm.
Vintage?
These are all Tiki Bob's I've made that Dan took for his collection.
War God's that I sculpted and Gecko glazed.
Vintage.
Mitch...each time I post I'm saying thank you for the photos and fun day.
There are more to be posted.
==============================================================================
Tiki Atari's project is coming along fine. With this last "Artists Choice" mug I've completed the sculpting portion.
As soon as they dry I'll be sanding and fine tuning again before the bisque fireing.
This is the mug I got to have fun with. I didn't want to take it too far away from Tiki Atari's original idea so I just added more detail.
First step was to completely clean up the cast and to remove the background swirls and dents.
After enhancing the butt cheek I added some seaweed and a small fish swimming away from the creature.
I added another tentacle from behind the creature and wreckage.
Once it firmed up I carved around each tentacle and
then I smoothed it and added the holes.
I added some stars because this will be a night scene like DooWops creature mug.
All done. There are other enhancements so I took a lot of photos to share. This is more of a lake scene than an ocean scene.
23 days and 23 mugs have been made.
When they are completely dry it will be time to bisque fire.
Thank you for the visit, Wendy
