kingstiedye I'd say looking forward to your visit but you've already come and gone!

littlegiles new photos of Viking Bob tomorrow. I have others to post tonight. I did add a few embellishments. I'm glad you liked the head too.

kingstiedye you'll have to see what I did to Viking Bob tomorrow.

hang10tiki I like entertaining you because you entertain us all right back.

lunavideogames do people really drink out of these? Oh yes Chippy does, I've see photos of him with his Chippy Bob in use. I have so much fun dressing Bob up.

hang10tiki fun, I wonder what it tastes like.

TikiAno I do have metal glaze.

Tiki-Atari we cast a kickstarter mug each day. I managed to trim the tops are remove some mold lines today on 6 of them. On step at a time. It's good to see you stop by here. It was fun to read the older post too and have you agree. I'm smiling.

kingstiedye it was great to see you and to have a fun play day. I loved going off my oil free diet. Tiki Hula will be so sad to have missed this day but he's coming here Sunday. I found my missing camera battery.

littlegiles my camera was dead at the Buffet but I did get one with his prize mug.

kingstiedye all you men have made my day. Where are all the women?

The winner of the 1,000,000 views contest kingstiedye. I won too because I didn't have to ship it, instead we took him to lunch.

Thank you all for entering the contest. The next contest will be when I get close to 5000 posts.

UPDATE ON WISH LIST #4

Just a reminder that the reason I don't take any "up front" money is because I always work at my own pace which is 7 days a week from morning until night. Even though I work this hard things take a long time from start to finish. I will always post my in-progress photos and one day your project will be finished. Thank you all for your patience.

It's been raining in California. We came out and found that the cover we put up had been collecting raindrops.

I got Dan a broom to push the water out.

The bisque fired Wish List projects second load had cooled and I opened the kiln.

This close up is for Tavarua Tiki.

I started unloading the kiln onto clean trays to transport to my washing station.

I think these photos show some projects that I haven't shared yet. Oh well, I show them being made on another day.

Dan filled the wash and rinse tubs.

I started unloading the lower level.

Not a single thing cracked or exploded. I had another good firing.

Once everything was out Dan disapeared

and I went to the tubs to start to wash and scrub.

Tavarua Tiki's Place of Refuge King's Goblet.

Close up.

Moai Mike's mug.

When I finished Dan came back and

carried them to the dining room table to dry.

I covered them with plastic table clothes to keep dust from landing on them. Now they wait until I'm ready.

Every single Wish List Project has now been made and bisque fired. The next step will be to glaze them. I still need to finish casting and carving the Sacramento Crawl mugs and also to cast the kickstarter mugs.

Once these have been cast I will clean up all the mess associated with these projects and I'll start to glaze. So maybe two more weeks until then.

Thank you always for the visit, cheers, Wendy
