Great work and great designs. I like what you're doing with glazes also.
Good job all around. Cool!

Mike, sorry.. Just couldn't let that sno-cone thing slide...
Thanks pop, I totally appreciate that.. Your ceramics are unbelievably cool and sooooo clean, love watching your FB page to see what's coming up next!! Too cool!!
Wow been two months since the last post, time flies when your having fun..
I was finally able to finish a new mold of my Beachcomber mug and get a few made and finished this week.. I made three of these by hand before making this mold and decided it was just to much work to make each one this way so I made this mold to make it a little easier.. I wanted them each still to be slightly different so the floats on all the Beachcombers will have a different netting to each of them and also the wood grain will be a little different as well..
Too many hours of glazing..
firing again..
Tongo Da Beachcomber's Ready To PARTY! 
I'm going to try and come up with more color's for the floats and will be trying out a new color instead of the Jungle brown glaze next firing hopefully too..
Keep an eye out for Da' Beachcomber's holding other things than floats too, you never know what they may find.. 
Aloha

Nice work Scott. I love that last picture of them all lined up. Just wondering, how many pieces are there to the mold?

Eh' Tanks Brada Swizzle!!;) This is just the basic three part kine, I thought about making it crazy and adding the net before molded it but instead I kept it simple and now I add the nets to each one afterwards... More work but this way they all look a little different..
Mike, I had a few requests for soccer balls and basketballs already even a few coconuts... I see a whole Tongo Da Beachcomber sports team in the future my friend!!

Well so much for soccer and basketballs this week...
This one maybe should be called Da Head Hunta instead of Da Beachcomber..
Got a little bored of knotting rope on the float last week...
Glazed him in a Glossy Sea Moss Green with some black undertones, and the head is brown rotting brown..
ALOHA!!

That may well be the first shrunken head image I've ever actually liked. That's a great design. Thanks for posting it.

Professor G, MadDog, Wendy, bavtech, ATP, formerly CTIT.. Thanks for all that, he was the first one ever I did so I was stoked on the way he came too.. Mahalo Again..
Here's a couple more I started carving this week.. These Beachcombers needed a drink after a long day of beachcombing..
Got this idea from another member on here that thought it would be cool fro him to be holding Bob, so I turned him into mini mug..
This one I'm carving today here at work...
Thinking of a shape...
And a few hours later....
Not sure if I'll leave him smooth or possibly give him a lava rock texture..
Thanks for checking them out, aloha!

LOVE, love, LOVE your mugs! Just wanted to let you know. So many artists here on TC are amazing and you are one of them! Will you be making more of your Local Boy with the Shaved Ice? I'd love to get one for myself!
