Tiki Tony - Wow, we are honored that you jumped in...Thanks so much for describing how you created multiple molds from one master. It's a great thing for folks to be able to see how others have problem solved these processes too. One really needs multiple molds if they are planning on making a large run of mugs...it's just to time consuming with just one mold. And thanks for commenting on Cammo's Oki Doki design too...I can see why you like that one; I think that you and Cammo have some things in common...You both have this wonderful since of whimsy in your works that I really enjoy. I can't wait to see what you bring to Oasis this year! I still need to add a Tiki Tony mug to my little, but growing, collection of mugs.

Mad Doggie, Your just on fire brother! Have you tried to pull a casting yet from your bowl, or are you totally out of slip? It looks like you are planning on having the bottom of your bowl to be flat, which is fine, you just won't be able to glaze the bottom unless you use stilts to fire the mugs on. Are you going to glaze fire the bone pile into place at the bottom of the mug? Be sure to look for undercuts on that bone pile before pouring your mold. I guess I will see you over here on the 3rd...you'll have some mugs to glaze up :)
