hang10tiki exactly my thought. I'm having a lot of fun with the swap mug.
MadDogMike this was my first time Mike and your note has given me more ideas.
swizzle the 'Cardinal Tetra' according to Google where I found it under South Pacific fish says the fish was on vacation and that salt is good for its scales.
MadDogMike Swizzles heckling is good for making my skin thick. Why are fish musical? Because they have scales.
Tiki Ano hahahahahahah and hahahhahahahahah!
We have just been having fun getting ready for family. We love seeing the young ones delight in presents. I'll see if they liked their bowls with their names on them or if they think its weird that I made them.
I worked on the swap mug today and added more fish. No photos yet but I did one more step besides the painting.
I cut out some paper fish photographs including the fish on vacation.
I now have all the parts completed. When they are photographed I'll tell the story.
Merry Christmas Eve tomorrow and Merry Christmas for the next day too.
Hugs from Dan and Wendy

DONE DONE DONE WITH THE SWAP MUG!
Here's the Christmas Swap story.
Once upon a time a tiki collector practiced with his/her tiny Deep Sea Fishing poles to catch some South Seas Fish.
When he got really good he went to the ocean to find a good fishing spot.
He found one full of fish. So he lowered his line.
Over and over he cast his line until finally he caught something.
He gently pulled it out.
By the end of the day he had caught a Honu, Bumatay and a puffer. All his practice paid off.
Every goofy thing in this story will be sent to my swap person.
Merry Christmas Everyone, Wendy and Dan

Love the story, the pieces, and hope to be the lucky recipient of this- and all of the other pieces created in the art swap!  Happy Holidays!

Yay for Wendy as the newest posting of a finished swap piece. It looks fantastic!
Everything on this thread looks so great!
I really am working on mine, but it's all sketches & measurements at this point
so nothing interesting to show yet... but soon, I hope to.

Wendy,
LOVE your swap piece! Wish I were done. But I'll need to wait until I get back to school Jan 2nd to start glazing.
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to you & Dan!
Lori

TikiAno I feel the same way, there's nothing like a swap to being us closer together. Making friends and keeping old ones makes TC the happiest place on earth. Did I steal that?
WaikikianMoeKele good to hear from you as always. Thank you for your support. The clock's ticking one month to go.
LoriLovesTiki isn't it fun for you to have a job where you still get the school holidays? I sure missed them when I went to work and that included Christmas day and all the other holidays where I had to go in. Just like Kele one month to go for the swap.
hang10tiki we both did Honu's. I often look at yours. I love how you did the background and tikis on the shell.
tikilongbeach thank you. Have we met? We've been to four of the Don the Beachcomber's sales.
swizzle (=:
dartharnie we wish the same for you. Thursday we begin clay work. You are number 1 on the list. I see a Mummy in your future. I wish you good health too.
hang10tiki Merry Christmas 2 U
and 2 U and 2 U and to all our good friends here on Tiki Central.
I finally found a place for the photographic studio where I can just leave it up. In the 17 years we have been in this home we have used this tub twice. We could never fill it fast enough to keep the water hot. So now with a pillow in the tub to kneel on I can photograph every day.
We had a wonderful Christmas Eve. Our great niece and nephew liked their bowls. Not only did they want to eat their ice cream from them they insisted on washing them afterwards. They are so sweet and goofy.
One surprise I had for Dan was a severed head. I did this sculpt years ago and sent it to Gecko. He has made two so far and the second one was for Dan. He got it this morning.
I'm very glad you all like the mug and it's goofy story with the practice rods. Did anyone notice how I used the sea snake to keep the tiki G rated?
Happy Holidays, Wendy and Dan

Hi Friends, I searched my cupboards for some breakfast food and this is what I came up with. Now that I'm fed its time to work some clay. I hope you all have a fun day. I'm looking forward to mine. Wendy
PS a secret...Dove chocolate is what is used for Ethel M chocolates that sell for $30 a pound in Las Vegas so why do that just grab a Dove bar with Almonds and have a breakfast as good as mine and cheap
