NOTICE FOR THOSE WHO READ MY THREAD. I'VE STARTED ANOTHER SECRET CONTEST. MEANING NO HINTS JUST FIGURE IT OUT. I'LL POST THE WINNER ON SUNDAY EVENING SO YOU'LL HAVE SOME TIME THIS WEEKEND. THE PRIZE WILL BE A HONU PENDANT WITH LEATHER CORD. IT'S ALREADY MADE SO IT WILL SHIP TO THE WINNER FAST. FIRST TO POST THE CORRECT ANSWER WILL WIN THE PRIZE.
Hale Tiki you haven't gotten it yet but thank you for trying. A time is not it. Feel free to post a photo of you in a wet T-shirt but please be holding one of my mugs in the photo.
Atomic Tiki Punk BOOBS do not win. I said no hints but here is one. It will take an entire descriptive sentence to win.
KeverC thank you so much. Freaking awesome is a new description for one of my mugs and I love it.
Progress Report Wish List #3
Swizzle's mug. Swizzle hates Bob's but gave in to have one of mine. He requested Swizzle on the back with a small flower near the e. He also requested a symmetrical super carve.
I used my computer to print out his name in the size I wanted. I'll use it as a guide.
I started caving the lines that will keep it straight as I add detail.
Dan came into the house from the garage to show me his finger. The nail had been torn loose and then flopped back into place. I took him to the clinic for instructions on care.
More carving on Swizzle's mug.
I did the blocks for each letter. Now I'll add the flower and have it dry for a day to become firm enough for carving.
I started prepping VampiressRN's flamingo mug. When you find tiny holes it's important to dig them out. That's what I'm doing at the top. There is another one at the bottom waiting. Glaze will never fill these in so they have to be removed and filled.
I have work drying and I have these to work on. I hope to start glazing tomorrow.
I changed my mind. CONTEST HINT TONIGHT. Cheers, Wendy

Ahhhh hang10tiki Dan wishes it were not his finger but it is.
Hints: I was surprised by noticing something that made the timing of this contest perfect.
Here are the first letters for each word in a sample sentence that would win the contest.
TSNETTIWHBPOTCFTY!

Deflated balloon? Meerschaum pipe? Tribal penis sheath? Saggy boobs from an old issue of National Geographic?
Wait - what're we talking about?

TSNETTIWHBPOTCFTY! = "Thanksgiving seemingly never entirely tastes totally incredible without having brimming potables overflowing tiki ceramics frequently... that's yummy."
Unless this Sunday (Saturday?) next you're gonna post your 3000 post on tiki central and celebrate over ten years of them....in which case, congrats...
(meh...it was worth a shot)
I'm getting antsy to see the glaze go on the Jaguar bowl. I know I have to wait, but I don't want to...I really like that piece.

The contest is OVER. hang10tiki you are right on 11/11/10 I made my very first post on the "other crafts" thread. Tomorrow is my 2nd anniversary.
dartharnie where did you come up with 10 years? I'm not old enough, ha ha. You were very close with the idea.
I had a lot of fun with this so I'm sure there will be more contests in the future.
I have some fun photos to post tomorrow of what I made today.
hang10 we'll ship to you soon. Hugs to everyone who tried. Cheers, Wendy

VampiressRN it seems that his own blood has glued it in place for now. A Vamp like you knows how good blood can be!
hang10tiki wow we love being photo shopped so now we won the contest, thank you.
Atomic Tiki Punk you are a man after Dan's heart. If it were his contest you would have won.
Tiki Ano thank you for watching my step by steps and posts. Most of all thank you and everyone for posting here.
Well yesterday I got out the ball and chain again and kept up it all day long.
Progress Report Wish List #3.
Matt the Cat wants a Royal Blue Super Carved with Palm Trees. Sound familiar Professor G? He'll be your newest member of the Blue Bob Group.
When the palms firm up I'll do the super carving.
VampiressRN requested a Flamingo Bob. I thought about it and decided that having a bigger bird without legs would be more impressive. However once Vamp looks I'll let her tell me if she prefers a smaller leggy bird. It is almost Thanksgiving.
Swizzle's mug is done except for deepening around the letters of his name once it dries. I cut out each letter wet the letter and stuck it on the clay. Then I carved out the clay around it.
I've gotten an early Christmas present. My Sony camera has been malfunctioning all summer and it has now bit the dust. Dust was the problem. Working clay and taking photos doesn't work for a normal camera. Luckily the broken one was my first digital camera and it's done its job for so many years that it should be retired. Now I have a water and dust proof Fugi. The photos are not quiet as good as the Sony but this camera will be perfect for my clay mess. The photos today came from it.
Thank you all for entering the contest and making it fun. Cheers, Wendy

The Blue Bob Brotherhood (and sisterhood? are there any sisters?) is always glad to greet new members with outstretched arms and mighty shouts of Aloha.
Welcome to the happiest thread on TC.
