Zero Tiki your painting would look good with MadDogMikes Puffer mug right in front of it, both have blowing puffers that are cute.
LoriLovesTikis you fixed it and it very pretty. Maybe hang10tiki will get it for his honu lounge home bar.
My favorite part is seeing who gets what. This sure is fun, Wendy

Everything is looking great!
I just got my ceramics back from their bisque fire. I'll get them glazed Sunday and take them back for glaze firing this next week. Coming down to the wire...

Oh my, oh my, oh my!
My poor little head may explode from all the gorgeous art that is being produced.
I'm working away, I should probably stop & take a few pics, but I keep forgetting to.

Yikes!!! 
Well, I got my piece out of the kiln. Unfortunately it had some stress cracks and the stain I put on the octo didn't come out as well as I wanted (didn't want too much color but didn't want him to be so white.
The cracks are a bit ugly but mostly on the back, and they don't effect the inegrity of the piece (at least strength wise).
I leave it up to you guys. If the cracks deem the piece untradeable I will drop out of the swap. If they don't bother anyone I will remain.
(Still need to buy and install the clock mech)

Badd, it looks good to me. MDM, look forward to seeing where you're going w/ the fish head- is it mounted on wood? (not clay, I assume)- unless it's a bat and you're going to work w/ the head on a potters' wheel.
Lori, looks very cool!
Mike, do we do a final post up of finished work before they get shipped out? Happy Sunday, all!

Badd, until I saw the back I was thinking "what cracks?"
So it doesn't bother me!
