BeachBumz you have been BUSY!!!
So much cool stuff! Nice sculpts, successful mold, great post-molding textures, and some BEAUTIFUL glazes. I love the blue/green glazes on the trianle bowl and the tiki trolls. Nice looking lava texture on the troll bowl too - what is the intended purpose for the oblong tiki troll bowl. Looks like it would make a nice business card holder

Mahalo's Trader Tom, I'd love to make more of these bowls and If I do I'll let you know.. Since these were my first each one has probably about 10 hours of work over a few day period... I hope to be able to make more but hopefully a little quicker. 
MadDogMike, Mahalo's too braddah, I just wanted to make something a little different and I really wanted to use a lava rock as a bowl, the form for the mold I used was oblong and it just came out this way. To me it looked like a cow "trough", so was born the "Tiki Troff".. Hummm, I think a mai tai is in order in the troff tonight..
Mahalo swizzle, I really have been lucky and thanks to Rob for doing all those great tiki pendants that have been great for glaze testing...
Caroline that was the look I was going after, lava rock, It came out better than expected.. It was great meeting you at the shop too, I;m glad your enjoying the shot, Thankx
Rene, I'm glad you got my first mug I've ever made, Hopefully someday I can come to Switzerland a visit LoLo..
Aloha

Mahalo's Ken, mymotiki!
Ok MauiTiki...
Been working on this one actually for a few months on and off but finally got around to finishing him and pouring a mold.
