Here is a peak at my next mug release, Kapriman. This design is about 65% completed. I started sculpting him in September 2007, but had to stop due to impending move. Because this sculpture was done in water based WED clay to get a more rough kinda slightly off kilter PNG carving look, i molded and cast it in resin knowing the sculpture would not survive till i could get back to finishing it. With the PNG mugs I try to retain a less polished look sculpturally. I love PNG carvings for their natural, sometimes very rough feel and try to retain that feel with my designs. This is a pretty large piece. Not seen here is some pieces that will get cast separately and attached at the greenware stage. Will hopefully finish up the sculpture and mold in the next month. Will do a small run, maybe 25 total pieces, some hand painted. I will try to remember to take progress pics in line with Babalu's ceramics thread.

Aloha kaua
