Hi Mikey, I'm just learning so it's fun to share and learn what others are doing.
LOL, you'll have to bring a friend to the Anniversary Party to get two!
Swizzle, I always have several projects going at once, but when deadlines are involved some jobs take priority.
Umeone, I've been testing glazes and painting dark colors then sponging away the excess before spraying the main color which gives the dark lines. I found it can work with light colors too if you use the right combination of glazes and don't get the top color too thick. I only did a few of these because it's a delicate process to get it just right. Making pendants is a great way to test glazes and techniques!

Hey Rob, GREAT JOB BRA!! I like all the glaze choices you used.. Wish we could go to the party over there in Kona..  It's like a 10min plane ride over there but about 200 $$$..
After the holidays hopefully..

Thanks Wendy!
Yeah beachbumz, I wish the $$ I made making them would cover a trip over for the anniversary party. But sadly the airfare, car rental and condo would make for an expensive weekend.
They need to change their anniversary so it doesn't fall so close to the holidays!!

The post office temporarily lost the pendants! Yikes! The were supposed to be delivered on the 29th and still are not there. The tracking has been updated (the box was located) and hopefully they arrive today.
Lisa and Brice still need to string them for Monday.

The pendents made it to the event in time!
I just wanted to say a big mahalo for the amazing work you put into them, it was a smash at the party. I know I will cherish mine for years to come.
I also took a ton of pics of the party which should be up on the Okolemaluna facebook page and on Careless Navigator shortly.

What's happening Tiki People? It's been a while since I posted, but I have a new project in the works so I'm gearing up to start posting some pics.
Before I get started on the new project I wanted to post a couple pics of a mug I made recently for Gecko.
I'm going to make a few Kamalo mugs with this woodgrain and glaze technique. Watch for them on eBay!
Aloha!
-Rob
