lunavideogames we made it to Sam's and Downtown Disneyland. Walking around and parking was free. Trader Sam's is really a cute place. They played a sinking ship movie for us. I even took a photo in the bathroom because I liked the light fixtures, tikis of course. We had dinner at the Rain Forest Cafe which was even larger and more fancy than the one in Las Vegas and in San Francisco. Even though we had just eaten Dan and I had trouble resisting all the food for sale during the walk in Downtown Disney. We resisted jalapeno pretzel hot dogs, crepes, cotton candy, Haggen Daze ice cream and a whole candy shop. We left empty handed but dinner at the Rain Forest was in the end enough. See you tomorrow at Marketplace! littlegiles you are too funny. I'm not giving up that room to Dan! hang10tiki I'm so surprised that you can find so many photos of us to play with. I know they must be in these 202 pages but I don't know where. One day I'm going to do an index page. Thank you for keeping the /Dan and Wendy/hang10tiki show going for all of us to enjoy...we sure are. U Da Best. Today we are going to start out by going to see HB Tiki, Margee and Chippy. Then on to the ocean for a walk. Thank you for the visit here, Wendy |

LoriLovesTiki hang10tiki is such an artist. I love all the work he has done here. I owe him a big thank you. Also to all of you who stopped by while we have been gone. GROG thanks for the kiss but I missed not having a visit too! little lost tiki where were you? You are a tease. I missed my Kinny hug. I did get 100's of others. Kele I'm very happy to have hang10tiki cover for us. He's a sweetheart. hang10tiki Dan and I have come here each day and laughed and laughed and had the best time seeing what you've come up with. Very cleaver. Thank you very much. Dan wants them all printed for hanging, so now I know where your TC name came from. We leave for home in the morning. Dan found a few must haves for the collection. I left behind a few mugs in good hands too. I hope to be back here by Monday after we have rested up and I've uploaded my photos to share. Cheers everyone, Wendy |

I am finally settling in from my full tiki weekend. Thank you so much Wendy and Dan. Chippy Bob is on full display. Mrs Chippy and the Chipletes love him as much as I do. He made an appearance at the International Tiki Marketplace and was a huge hit. So many people were so happy to see it in person. There are so many people who watched it come to life and I was very happy to show it off. As soon as I can learn to post pictures here from my phone, I will. Thanks again Wendy. You are a wonderful artist. |

WaikikianMoeKele hang10tiki and GROG are masters in this art form. VampiressRN and we all love you! Chippy all your posts and photos on facebook are filling my wishes. Holler Waller I like being called your "noted tiki artist". hang10tiki all your creations are such fun and they amaze us. So today we have sent you Amazing Bob as a thank you for keeping the Dan and Wendy show going while we have been gone. He's my favorite and sending him to you gives me a lot of joy as did the photos that you shopped. GROG it was great to see you, come to Caliente and we'll have a real visit. Photos from our trip. Downtown Disney At HB Tiki's home. We love his tiki room. He has so many treasures. We made it to one mall and there were tikis but Dan had them so we just had fun looking. April 6th, 2013 International Marketplace at Don the Beachcomber's, Huntington Beach, California. The place to be. I did all my tiki for money exchanges in the parking lot. Money is fun to collect. Dan and Sven hamming it up with Bosko. We had lunch there with our friends Joanne and Jama. Tiki Tony's booth inside the main room. lunarvideogames picked up Mrs. Pac Man for his wife. Chippy used his new mug during the sale and I had the fun of watching. Dawn Frazier signing autographs of Tiki Magazine with GROG watching. Dan's haul from the trip. I got one of Dawn's prints and an Eric October plate but Dan can't see them yet. We are resting from the long drive yesterday but soon I'll be back to work. Many hugs friends, Wendy and Dan PS Big Kahuna I got your message, hello back at ya [ Edited by: danlovestikis 2013-04-08 11:42 ] [ Edited by: danlovestikis 2013-04-08 11:56 ] |

hang10tiki every day we looked forward to see what you had created, now we will look forward to a visit at Caliente. Fun times ahead. Hale Tiki I always wish that everyone could be at every event. There is such a family reunion feel to these gatherings. As little lost tiki said it is a hug fest. zerostreet photos are easy when the trip has so much to offer. You are welcome. We saw HB Tikis special zerostreet mug while we were there. LoriLovesTiki I always look at event photos and feel the same way. It's fun to seeing people enjoying themselves. Progress Report: The best thing we did yesterday was to rest. We visited with family and caught up on TV. I did work for a couple of hours on the Sacramento Crawl mug. It is slow going with super hard clay but even so I enjoy doing it. I started by adding a ring of clay and then attaching and smooting it. Then I added clay to start to make the shape match the photo of the tiki. Smoothing and adding more clay the knees start to form. I added my name to the bottom of the mug. I've left space to write Sac Ohana Crawl and c 2013 on the bottom along with the number of the mug. Here's a few more photos from our trip. Far too large to fit in our car so we just brought home a photo. We bought Sven's new CD and played it on the way home. Dan was so happy that the Hawaiian Eye theme song in a different version was included. It's a great CD. My best overview of the large room, just think there were two rooms filled with venders and the restaurant and two bars. A huge event with lots of fun places to visit. Of course I had to share my sweetheart playing a drum. He was giving a vendor a bathroom break. What a guy. Now its time to get to work. Thank you for the visit, Wendy |

ebtiki thanks eb I really enjoy sharing. lunavideogames I love seeing my things on eBay. I don't mind re-sales at all. Moai Mike bought two so he could sell one. Dawee Tiki bought 3 so maybe he'll put one up in the future. Dan buys and sells as he fine tunes his collection. Gecko is selling, Atomicchick we are looking forward to seeing you. We all watched for you at Don's. I have the two packed to bring. So far those mugs are traveling as much as the pants that were in a movie. littlegiles we all have tiki contacts where ever we go because of Tiki Central. All you have to do is pack put your trip on the events page and people will line up to entertain you. Just ask Swizzle. So how do you feel about bellies and arms? hang10tiki put Dan in a room with tikis and he's joyful. Your box went in the mail yesterday. 8 working days to arrive. Begin at START, don't lift your finger up, keep working the maze until you get to END. Good Luck. Thank you so much for all your posts. We smile all the time. The sculpt I did for Roge has now been molded and has gone into production. It can be bought from him as a stand alone statue or as part of a tiki lamp. This is his Etsy sight. He also sells on eBay. http://www.etsy.com/shop/ArtLampDesignByRoger?ref=seller_info You can see the size differences between my past sculpt and the new one. I put them back to back for fun. He will customize lamps and statues to the colors of your choice. Progress Report on the Sacramento Crawl mug. I did the belly and started on the arms and hands. Today I'll get back to glazing the severed heads. Cheers, Wendy [ Edited by: danlovestikis 2013-04-10 09:14 ] |

Yeah, Sorry Wendy. I didn't mean to sound like I was tattling on him for putting it on ebay. I just wanted you to see it, since you only sell on this thread, I thought you might miss it. I buy stuff and sell it for more everyday, and I am sure most of us do. I am interested to see how much it might go for. I personally have never sold a mug, but at some point I will have to get rid of some that I do not like as much so that I have room for new ones. If you ever wanted to sell on ebay or make your own website, I would be glad to help you out. Just let me know. I have been selling on ebay since it first opened. I received a lot of compliments on my Ms Pac-Man mug! I decided to drink out of it at the Tiki Marketplace. Even met a few people because of that. I like to use mugs as mugs, even if I don't use them all a lot. I feel like they should be used for the purpose that they were made. But I was being EXTRA CAREFUL with it and I found myself making sure I had a good grip and wasn't going to bump into anything. But, I don't know if I will be able to bring myself to drink out of the severed head. I just don't want anything to happen to it. Thanks again for the great mugs! :) Did Dan's mugs survive your trip? |

Chippy I just saw the photo of Chippy and Mrs.PacMan on facebook. Are you friends with lunarvideogames? It's always good to get back home. We miss our cat when we are away. hang10tiki he did really well with the Moai. Now I need to save up for one more chunk lamp with this cast. lunavideogames once in Hawaii I wrapped a Kon Tiki mug for Dan. It rolled and broke in the trunk. Ever since he does his own packing and does a good job. HB Tiki gave him a divider box too. All the mugs made it here and they have been worked into the collection. He loves tiki arranging. I enjoying watching new sales of my art so keep letting me know if you see something come up. Moai Mike is a sweetheart. I'm never upset when something goes. We have a few friends mugs that Dan plans to sell soon. I like seeing my mugs used at parties and events. Matt the Cat is picking up his look a like mug today. I better get a photo. littlegiles Dale, thank you. I have no photos of the back of the tiki. I think I need to add a rear end so that the back isn't boring. I know the women like it when I do this. VampiressRN I'll like to see it hung too. It's been a blast working with Roge. We enjoy being in a show and then reading our reviews. I'm a ham, well Dan is too. We are a well matched set. Progress Report: It was time to really get going on the severed heads. So we hauled them out to the side yard again. At this point they each have one thick layer of glaze which was not enough. Dan would put one on the wheel for me and I would spray it and then he'd swap it out. I use may hand to block the glaze from entering the mug which has a glaze already coating it. I'm showing Dan waiting for the next task. We did each head three more times with them drying in the wind between. Dan cleaned up. I hauled them to the table by the back door and then back into the house. Drying glaze doesn't have an odor. See all the trays. We buy them whenever we see them in thrift stores. Having a bunch sure helps us out. Now its back to work. Cheers, Wendy |

Wendy, I love the back to back Moai showdown. I have one of the older resin Moai, love the new one you've created- may have to order a few. :) I'm excited to see more progress on the Sac Crawl mug- thanks once again for the step by steps.... Sorry I missed you guys (and everyone else) at Don's, looks like another great event. I, along w/ everyone else, was entertained by Jon's nonstop Photoshopping. Jon, I recommend switching to decaf. Just sayin'. :wink: |

TikiAno we missed you at Don's. It was a great event. hang10tikis taking a vacation from photo-shopping after an exhausting few days. He sure put on a fun show. lunavideogames I like bringing people together through my art. Thank you. hang10tiki one big step at a time on the heads. Those guys are guarding our yard. littlegiles nope those guys have been here and there for years. Dan moves all his tikis often so they show up in new places. I rarely work with deadlines because there is a method to my madness. The glazing has stopped while I work to make some new items so I can fill the kiln for a bisque load. I do need a batch of the heads finished for Caliente but bisque first. Robb Hamel I purposely showed the yard because Dan had just mowed and edged it. Thanks for mentioning it. I like seeing your workspace too. I just went to your web page to ogle all the fine art. I enjoy doing this often. hang10tiki I'm so glad your photo-shopping reward arrived safely. You didn't say if you got through the maze on the first try, did Janelle try it? See you both soon. Matt the Cat came to pick up his "look alike mug". Progress Report: I caught Dan doing a Justin Beiber with his pants as he tiki arranges. Here's his finished work. I went to alpha to pick up more glaze for the severed heads. Those heads require a lot of glaze in 6 colors. While I was there I bought 4 new glazes. When I got home I saw I was running out of bisque fired glaze strips. I do a test of each new glaze. I need more things to fire so I made some for now and for the future.
I need to make some more things for the bisque load so its off to the garage. Cheers, Wendy |
