Things have been busy around the office and I've enrolled in another ceramics class so tiki time has been drastically cut back. Here's a couple of tikis in the works.

This is a short guy. The cylinder was left over from another project and I didn't want it to go to waste, so I turned into a tiki.

Here's the evolution of the latest mug...

  1. Prep cylinder - have leather hard porcelain teeth ready to go.
  2. Stick teeth into cylinder
  3. Add lips
  4. Add details

    Next step (not shown) is to carve details once construction is complete.

Lost my camera for a while but I'll post picts of the completed Ali'i mug soon. It came out awesome.
