Piddersthecat Tiki Hula once said that same thing to us. The fact that Dan and I are both into tiki does make for a very happy home.

lunavideogames except for the touch of purple I wanted this mug to look like the stone inspiration that you supplied. Thank you for getting me started this year. The fact that Psycho Tiki D asked if I wanted to use the Tahiti restaurant at the same time cinched it. You two men were my inspiration.

mondo-by-the-bay I saw all your fun Hukilau photos on fb. I hope you and Hoppy make it to Oasis.

=============================

Finishing the Sacramento Crawl mug for October 2017. These photos were taken 4/2/17 to 4/8/17.

I wanted to highlight the name Tahiti on the back. I bought a can of pin stripping paint at a car detailing shop. $25! I hoped it would last for the 65 mugs I've made. I did not use it for the AP's. This is durable enamel.

I uniformly applied the paint to this sponge. I save all my plastic lids to use as disposable easels.

I then applied it by blotting on the raised letters.

The name of the glaze I used for the interior was Purple. The pin stripping paint name was Purple.

I hoped when it dried that they would match. Nope, not that lucky.

Dan said it didn't bother him so, OK I did them all.

I printed 65 signature cards and autographed and numbered them.

Dan got ready. I matched a box, mug and card and gave them to him to box.

The crawl mug is DONE. Now I will just work on the Wish List #7.

This feels so good. I will try to accomplish the next crawl mug ahead of schedule too. I've already got an idea and a place that I found by going through all the phone books at the state library from 1912 on.
