Thank You Wendy and Dan for your work in fashioning these mugs. The brothers are now (re)united.

Good luck with the Mr PacMan mug Wendy, that can be so frustrating! Everything is looking way cool!

Holler Waller, thank you for the photo. Having them together is wonderful. When dartharnie has all five I'll hope for a photo of his monster collection.
MadDogMike today I'll see if it is fixed or not. The kiln opens later today, photos tomorrow.
Years ago I did a sculpt for Gecko which I called the Bloody Polynesian. He just decided to start making these just as I'm doing all the Ren Clark heads. It will be fun to see how each of us do these. I did the sculpt for him in exchange for a 1/1 head. So these eBay auctions are his. I just get to watch.

You all have made Dan feel famous as the star of the Dan and Wendy show. It's gone to his head and now he thinks he should be in a "Got Milk?", commercial.
Progress Report Wish List #3
I'm nearing the end of the wish list. I have one project under the wraps that I glaze today. Then its nothing but severed heads. I did two of the altered today and two more altered after the under wraps project. Then I start on the run of 30.
I glazed the bottoms and insides first. Here I'm pouring out the excess glaze.
I love to use the tops of shot glasses to hold my glazes for dipping. Here I have the three colors I need. Black, blue and pink.
This head has his eyeballs popping out and his tongue extended.
I use this technique only for the red glaze. I squeeze it out and guide it with a brush. I keep it thick this way.
In 9 hours I was able to do both of these. The other has the mouth cut out.
Angled view.
Dan says that I need to keep the show going if he's to get the photo in a magazine. Cheers, Wendy

It looks more like Dan is auditioning for a "Got Pina Colada" commercial to me.
The severed heads are great. Just like your many different Bob's, It's exciting to see each severed head take on an afterlife of its own.

dartharnie his milk mustache was from a Sweet Lassie at our favorite Indian restaurant. The first time it happened he didn't know until I told him. Then I thought why not take a photo to share. It was fun to change the heads. I'm looking forward to seeing them glazed.
hang10tiki Dan was glad you clarified that message.
WaikikianMoeKele I hope not!
Loki-Tiki may it be the last.
Progress Report Wish List #3
The kiln opened and here's the news.
Looking in is always fun. I had to hide some undercover projects that I'll show one day in the future.
I checked dartharnies Dracula and I found a glaze crack in a new place.
Using a dental pick I was able to pull it lose. I will glaze and fire it again. All the other repaired spots were perfectly fixed and invisible.
Sometimes luck is with me. Chippy's mug came out and is perfect.
I copied the badge emblem as much as I could. I just noticed I need to put the spear in the woman's hand.
I'll bake this enamel to set.
Inside the mug. I had fun choosing the glaze.
I did traditional colors for the Bob's that will become lamps.
Here's the group together waiting to be taken into the house. Pac Man popped glaze off in two places and the face bubbled. I'll try one more time Atomic Chick.
I'll be back tomorrow. Cheers, Wendy
We may make it to the Don the Beachcomber's sale in April, I know a lot of you could come there to pick up your mugs...
SM Bacon, lunarvideogames, Chippy anyone else?
I'll be back tomorrow. Cheers, Wendy

Got my fingers crossed for those glaze issues to resolve

It will probably not please Chippy that when I see his mug, my first reaction is, "CUTIE" & I want to put little flowers around the brim of his hat!
Oh well, probably the 70's (I did graduate from high school in 1974) free love & hippie child in me coming out! lol

Wendy, that bowl looks great! The metallic glaze on it makes it look metal and reflective. Very cool.
I hope that you guys can make it down to the International Tiki Marketplace. Everyone would love to see you and it is always fun times! Dan & Wendy show live at Don the Beachcomber!

Wendy, the latest looks great! Chippy's mug is indeed awesome, your attention to detail continues to astound- and impress me. I can't wait to see the Bob lamp progress (the Bob lamp cometh?- too literary?) Dracula is looking super sweet- the last photo (in particular) showcases how very b&w he looks. Love it.
Unfortunately I won't be able to make the Tiki Marketplace this time around- work calls on that day- look forward to seeing updates and photos if you guys can head down there.

Sometimes words just do not convey the appropriate emotions.
Thank you so much Wendy. Thank you.
You took a simple idea and made it into something very special.
Thank you.
