littlegiles the coolest! All tiki events big and small have the nicest people ever. Wish you were here.
Hale Tiki no glaze on the clay there's nothing to stick. The only thing you should do is put something into something that could shrink enough to trap it. The clay shrinks as it dries but shrinks 10% more during bisque firing. You want it to shrink all that it can so that it doesn't do that when you fire on the glaze.
swizzle exactly. I'll have to check to see if you have posted more photos on your ceramics thread.
Hale Tiki you do everything else, this could be next. Thank you again for putting the Jonice Frank War God in your photo. I'm going to send it to her to see the progression of tiki making.
Thank you everyone for the visit. We are packing up to go on to Caliente. It's just 7 miles down the road. After 11 hours on the road we are rested and ready to see everyone. But the really coolest people, like littlegiles and all of you, are right here on TC!
Cheers, Wendy

Hope everyone has a blast at Caliente- have some drinks for me and looking forward to seeing all at Oasis (closer to home).
Wendy, LOVE Uke Bob ("Bob Uke-r" (sorry, bad joke). Has he been claimed yet?

Atomicchick I expect you any moment to arrive and to give us hugs.
Tiki Ano I'll tag your name onto Ukulele Bob and then once he is glazed you can decide if you still like him. We are having a great time surrounded by friends.
Cheers everyone, Wendy

Hi Tiki Peeps! We are having a wonderful time at Tiki Caliente. Shopping, swimming and live music. Rory's made it all special again. I miss posting photos here while we are gone but I'll overload it when we return. Cheers, Wendy
