That hut is beautiful! Personally, it's so beautiful I'd be afraid to ever drink out of it...but just out of curiosity, Kelly, what is the official drink for the Tuki Tuki Hut?

People let me tell you about a place I know
To get in it don't take much dough
Where you can really do your thing, oh yeah
It's got a neon sign outside that says
Come in and take a look at your mind
You'd be surprised what you might find, yeah
Strobe lights flashin' way till after sundown
People gather there from all parts of town
Oh yeah, what do I call it
You know it's just across the track
People I'm talking about the "TuKi tuKi" shack
Psychedelic shack, that's where it's at........... You made me smile

HipHipaHula,
This is just an incredible piece. You are very fortunate to have this one in your collection. Tiki tOny has a wonderful style....his low fire glaze work is exceptional. Those trees just blow me away. It looks like he fired those in position? Do they move?
Your pictures are very nice, and that fabric is sweet, but I would try to shoot this one a white back drop too. The white color sure makes artwork stand out nicely.
Congratulations!

Alright...you asked for it. I don't have an encyclopedic knowledge of Beachbum Berry's Books, nor do I consider myself a professional mixologist, but I worked with the ingrediants I had in my home bar and came up with a tasty drink.
In a perfect world, I would be able to harvest actual sap from a TuKi tuKi tree to include in this, but this is my best approximation.
TuKi tuKi Hut (serves two)
One Shot of Trader Vic's Macadamia Nut Liqueur
One Shot of Peach Schnapps
One Shot of Key Lime Juice
One Shot of Creme de Banana
A Double Shot of 10 Cane Rum
A Scotch Tumbler full of Fresh Pineapple Juice
A Highball Glass Filled with Ice
3 Lime Cherries Impaled on an Umbrella for Garnish on Each Glass
Pink Straws Must be Used (in Honor of HipHipaHula)
Dump all the ingrediants into a blender (except for garnish) and blend well, then pour back into two chilled highball glasses, garnish, and enjoy. Might want to throw in a couple of extra cubes to let it chill. For HipHipaHula's Hut, you would probably have to multiply everything in the recipe times two.
There was nobody around when I invented this on my lunch break so I had to drink both!

Well, I do have to thank Hiphipahula for master minding this creation! I had a drawing of this type of mug in my sketchbook dated 2005, but I would have probably never made one if it weren't for Hiphipahula's enthusiasm and creativity. After all, where else can her little menehune's sleep at night? They were keeping her up all night because they were getting freeked out by Tiki Diablo's Dr. Jivarro stairing at them.
I really do love the enthusiasm from everybody, thankyou! You make the labor intesive hours exciting!
As for the Wicky trees and wicky stump, those are made of my favorite material... driftwood and palmwood, not ceramic as thought. They'd be too delicate for my packaging abilities if they were ceramic. They are removeable, and can be repositioned. The Tuki tUki Hut was painstakenlly glazed by the meticulous hands of perfection, Alene!
Thanks again Hiphipahula for the great opportunity!

For the asking, New Pic's. Funny, when tOny finished the hut I met up with tOny & Alene cause we just didn't want to risk shipping it. The Hut does come apart & as tOny was saying the wiKi Trees & sTump are made of Palm & Beachwoods.

HipHipaHula,
Thanks for the extra pictures....choice!
tOny,
The combination of the wood and the clay played out together give this piece a major added coolness factor! Sweet direction!

Man Trader Tom this drink sounds yummy but I'd be wrecked in 1 drink & you drank 2 on your lunch break? my gosh, some will wonder just what kind of job do you have?

On Saturday I spent the day in Pasadena with Trader Tom & Ilene shopping & checking out Tom's mug collection. Tom made me the toned down version of the "TuKi tuKi Hut (serves two)" and it was very refreshing! Next time we make the real thing. But we need a different name I think based on the TuKi tuKi huT...
