Thank you for purchasing that snake from Hank pa'akiki :) I think that mug sat in my shop here for about a year before I hauled it down to Hank's. That is one of 4 hand built prototypes that I built up prior to building the master sculpt on the one to go to mold with that you see below. I've had this one master below ready to go to mold with for quite some time too...go figure that the real one would be found? It just cracks me up :lol: You can see that this molded one looks perhaps a little more like the menu image than the original one does?...I think it does anyway... Carlosrossi, funny you should mention the Tiki Ti, It was the picture of their Cobra mug behind the bar over there that helped to convince me to add the flared hood on this snake...can this whole thing get any freakier? Anyway, If you speak to the owner of the Tiki Ti again, tell him I've got just the snake mug for him :) I can always change the wording on the bottom. So, as you can see, I've built up the first mold...I'm building the block and case on it today...more soon... [ Edited by: Babalu 2010-03-19 22:24 ]
