VanTiki Mugs: Octopus Time Lapse - Other Crafts

V VanTiki Member Hawaii Joined: Nov 25, 2005 Posts: 1046	V VanTiki Posted posted on Sun, Sep 6, 2009 6:13 PM Aloha folks - remember me? :) FInished our big day job project, took a vacation, and now I am (happily) getting my hands covered with clay again. I had such a blast doing the last big wall hanging mug holder, I decided to give it another go. This time I went BIG, Pyramid cult, Ancient Mayan, and a splash of Vegas. This one is extra crazy - I spent forever creating separate chambers for each eye, the "mug chamber", and the mouth, and added lots of channels for wires. If all goes as planned, I hope to have the eyes and mouth flickering red with LED firelight, and the forehead "mug chamber" a ghostly blue. FIngers crossed! THis will now spend a few weeks on the drying table. The clay is a prepared cone 6 paper clay form Laguna (can't remember the # at the moment). A solid 20" tall - but keep in mind, it will shrink 10%. One of my golden mini mugs will live in the forehead. Mahalo for peeking! Henrik
