Heaving caution to the wind, we decided to make our own Tiki Mug for the NW Tiki Crawl
this year. Which was probably foolish, since none of us really had any idea
what we were getting into. And given that - it came out surprisingly ok!
The mug, about 3/4 sculpted. I've carved a few things, but this was only my second sculpt.
Foolish optimism caused me to say "Sure!" when TikiMaxton asked if I thought I could swing a mug sculpt.
(My first project was a re-creation of TikiMaxton's head - which is a long and entirely unrelated story).
Craig (Melintur) working on greenware clean-up.
I didn't think to get a picture of TikiMaxton making the molds, so I'm just putting in a random image of him.
Sorry TikiMaxton.
Production line waiting for numbers...
To make a long story a little less long, with some expert advice on mold making,
and an extremely patient ceramacist, we got through it with actual days to spare.
The finished product - front -
For a first attempt, I'm pretty happy with the way it came out.
And of course - now we're hooked...
