Teakey (member tc) wrote to me that, I don't leave enough info: or what my art is about, and I ask all of you to much what YOU think? You (TC members) have a lot to do with how my finish mugs will turn out, Your the experts, this is our hobby, passion, and our interest for sure, Thanks Teakey! so here we go:

Well, I'm trying to get that old school, vintage 60's glaze look, For my new mug "GoGo" kinda hard to achive since the old lead glazes are not avaliable, so I'm trying to get the same affect whith a matte glaze non-toxic glazes:

I might try to do them in a mixed glazed I conjured up, on some old bisque ware I had of my own art from 2003, Shot-Shot and Crude Tiki:


But keeping the Top and Bottom brown

I'll show you all the finish one this weekend!

I have been also working on tiki necklace charms:


It's the face of my first Tiki Mug "Sunny"

Sooooo Busy! I work a 10 hr. Job Mon - Sat, so I get out as much ceramics as I can, I get e-mails how come I don't see your stuff on e-bay? Well, I make limited edition tiki mugs 1 to 15 or 25 but, so they get sold to friends, local surf shops, ect: before they get to e-bay. (GoGo) Tiki mug will have a run of 50 so there will be some on e-bay I promise, Example of a week of work for me on ceramics created or going to be:

My kilns run a lot!

I make about 15 finished items a week, not bad for a part timer, Haha :) But GoTiki is a manufacturing business, I have to file my taxes as such! I have a lot of new designs on the table, though you might have not heard of me, I have been making Tiki mugs since 2003, and the best is yet to come.

Another TC member asked me: Been making Tiki mugs since 2003 and only limited post?

Response: My Mom (old School) used a pharse " Don't toot your own horn"

Meaning: people will find you! Or don't draw atttention to youself?

Well I guess, I have been lately bending the rules so here is the stuff I have been working on!

I always end my post "what you think?" So...... What You Think? It's important to me! Aloha! GOGO
