I like the Mike's face almost always looks like someone photoshopped it to be more exaggerated/funny. I of course, mean that in the absolute best way possible. Some of the faces you make MDM look like someone used the warp function in Photoshop.
I am always amused.

hang10tiki any thing you see tiki related was decorated by Dan. I haven't even put one tiki treasure on a shelf. He is the master arranger.
Hale Tiki that killer smile could never come from photoshop because it comes from his soul! He presented us with one of his terrific El Tiki mugs.
Progress Report Wish List #3
22 Severed Heads out of mold.
19TikiChef62's 3 Missionary's Downfall Women stew pot bowl is coming along just fine.
After indenting the bottom I wrapped the sides and let the bottom firm up.
The next day I was able to carve on the bottom. Once the women are attached turning it over is risky.
19TC62 requested that the ring have rivets around the band. I pressed them on and used a paint brush with slip to finish them off.
I used the label scrapper to cut the top off.
I lifted it out.
I smoothed the top. Next step will be the ladies!
We are missing MadDog already. He was the perfect guest. Wendy

It's always good to have a firm bottom.

GROG you are so right!
LoriLovesTiki you are welcome. I just had to share that smile.
hang10tiki #23 is in the mold waiting to be removed. I will be doing some glaze tests until I find the perfect matches. Then some will be dropped or crack. I plan to pour at least 35 and then go to work on them along with the rest of the Wish List #3.
dartharnie so many fun monsters out there. Dan keeps looking at our Asian living-room with tiki eyes. I'm like your wife, don't even think about it, Dan. GROG is always right.
Progress Report Wish List #3
After pouring Severed Head #23 we ran out of prepared slip. We got 10 more half gallons prepared.
I sanded and sanded and did some more sanding.
Bottom level of the kiln.
Top level of the kiln.
When these come our we'll see if Bela's arm stayed on or blew off again. It is fun and scary to fire up the kiln.
Thank you for the visit, Wendy

GROG also have a Dan at home who helpful around the house. Here him fix bricks that came loose in planter on side of driveway. Him not help GROG with ceramics, although he probably would if GROG ask him. Him not bake cookies, though. The bastard.

Dartharnie, I took lots of pictures to use for future "ammunition" in case I ever need it.
Wendy, it's so cool to look at the pictures of your workspaces because I can visualize where everything is now

hang10tiki we have to confess that the cookies were not calorie free. Dan-O has stopped making them and we are taking long walks. Stay healthy my friends.
GROG you too. I love laying brick. I taught Dan how to put them down with a hammer and a level. We put down the brick around our backyard that you can see in our photos. Your guy is on his way to being a full fledged Dan!
MadDogMike you can picture here and I can picture the inside of your travel trailer and all the fun tiki additions.
hang10tiki or to the grocery store for Toll House batter.
Progress Report Wish List #3
Top shelf unloaded into the backyard.
Bottom shelf, nothing exploded this time.
Dan blows off the dust before I scrub each piece.
Success. I tried but the arm will not pull off of Bela Lugosi made for dartharnie.
Showdown over the woman but she wants to hang out with Beach bum Bob.
The scrub a dub dub set up.
All done scrubbing and rinsing. Now into the house to wait for glazing.
Cleaning up leaves our backyard a swamp.
The last piece on the Wish List is 19TikiChef62's pot with women which I hope to finish today. Photos tomorrow.
I covered a piece of cardboard with tape. I will put it on the turntable to keep the clay from sticking.
I will attach the three Missionary's Downfall women.
I've marked the card to show where they should be attached.
Now its time for a walk. Thank you for taking a look at our progress. The best part is about to start. Cheers, Wendy
