Holler Waller after I open molds today I will say, there are 16 severed heads in my home.
Hale Tiki I've tweaked them.
LoriLovesTiki I've read your message to "Dan the man" and he loved it. He takes good care of me. I'm very lucky.
hang10tiki you look good!
uncle trav I come up with a few but the Wish List are designs thought up by those who share their wishes.
TikiAno you are able to make your own tikis and you are doing a fine job of it. Thank you.
Atomic Tiki Punk he is protecting us while smiling just like Bob.
Progress Report Wish List #3:
I sculpted the flowers on the back of Matt the Cat's Bob mug. The name of his bar Keno Kai and Sacramento will go inside the ring of flowers.
Then I went to work to increase the size of his hat.
I added clay over the whole thing.
I forgot and rotated my camera. Windows 8 has a major flaw when it comes to photos. Now that hat is the right size.
Now I've started 3 Mrs.PacMan mugs for Atomic Chick, SM Bacon and lunavideogames. See the map SM Bacon made for me to copy? A lot of steps.
Thank you all for your notes, that's what makes this super fun. I read them more than once. (: Wendy

Cool! Can't wait to see the progress on this one 
All of them are looking good Wendy! You are a mug making machine! Seems like you make at least a mug a day. Amazing! Do you keep track of how many you make in a year? I bet it is a lot. Keep up the good work!

Lunavideogames asked a great question!
How many mugs did Wendy & Dan make in 2012 That would be an excellent contest question!
Math's not my forte but that's a mighty big number!

NO pictures?!! We're all gonna go into Wendy withdrawal!!!
I'm pretty sure Grog's got his numbers backwards. More likely it's:
A. 47
B. $6,372.18 (gross, not net)
C. $15,732.11 (maybe off by an order of magnitude)
B - C = uh oh.
I'm really looking forward to seeing your work on the lei Matt the Cat's mug. That looks like a lot of fiddly little detail work.

A - 380
B - 33,000
C - 9,000
Is B gross or net? Before supplies in total sales or how much you took home in profit with the supplies taken out? Thanks I'm probably too business minded...

GROG you naughty Neanderthal. You can't vote twice even if you did use the same numbers.
It's great to see all of you voting. Net vs Gross question. It's the amount of money that came to me by way of checks and Paypal before subtracting the cost for supplies. I'm not figuring in miles and gas, hotels and kiln repairs.
I don't want to cause withdrawals so here are a couple of photos.
These are the prizes.
Here are the 16 Severed Heads done so far and we just poured another one.
One more rule. Only one set of votes per person. Cheers, Wendy

Let me introduce to you the TikiManFrond family, to the left is stu ( ku's cousin ) then there is esoteric ralf
and Hot Head tom he is the first tikiman in the family oh and a newcomer he isn't finished yet so im looking for a name and personality if you got any suggestions great.these fronds all came from my backyard and they just sort of grew on me.the outline has been burned with a saudering iron no ink pen then i made colors with a stain and stained them no paint then i used some resin epoxy on teeth and other areas and finish coat of polyurethane
then they started having personalities and became the tikiman frond family and still growing

Gee, that's a hard contest!
I think the original question was hard too. If I can figure out the answer to that question I can ballpark the answer to B. A's probably the easiest, there are a limited # of days in a year and it does take time to fire and cool.....
The answer to C is probably way too much but you want a #.
Math's not my subject but I'm off to crunch some numbers.....
