I can't wait to cast this and try to replicate the paint design with glaze. It will be fun... I don't plan to sell these for obvious reasons, I just always wanted a mug like this.. The small one is a basswood sculpt I did when I went to california recently for a job.. I couldn't travel with clay, so I used the next best thing.. I wanted to try and work out the design and at the time I only had front and back pics (and my Kevin Kidney tiki baby is in storage (somewhere). That's why the head is different, my memory isn't the best... Anyway, I changed the design a bit (bigger head,etc.) to make it more mug friendly, but I think it turned out pretty good, hopefully the cast will be a good size..
