VanTiki Mugs: Octopus Time Lapse - Other Crafts

A week of rain slowed down the drying process quite a bit. The big batch of mugs is almost done drying - here is a close up of the "sleeping army" of tiki goodness: I am going to take Traveling Jones' advice and shape a few more mugs in the week ahead to try and satisfy any Xmas demand. I will be doing a few more unique critters for the next kiln load - and I think that that will be all I have time for (when you take into account drying time, glazing, and shipping) before Santa takes off. Working on a second "dual chamber" volcano mug - this guy is drying out a bit (as I type) before I can finish up his texture/details: I've been getting a lot of e-mails and PM asking for these mugs - to keep things fair (and to ease my guilt!) I am gonna be putting the mugs up on e-bay. That way I figure everyone can get a shot at them - hope I don't ruffle too many feathers!
