I wanted a Lei O Mano but didn't want to pay $300 for it so I made on yesterday. I had bought some shark teeth on eBay but didn't really like the size or shape so I decided to make so fake ones. After all, it's for show not for go - I won't be helping King Kamehameha battle King Kalanikupule. I debated between ceramic and polymer clay and chose the polymer. Polymer is a little more flexible and maybe less fragile than ceramic, besides I didn't have a kiln bead rack to glaze the ceramic.

:music: I couldn't sleep at all last night. I was tossin' and turnin' :music: I signed up for a beginning ceramics class at the community college last night (my first art class ever :)) I was up all night thinking of mugs to make :lol:


Anything worth doing, is worth doing to the point of wretched excess.
