pwest71 - thank you, I will keep posting because that's what makes it all fun.

Grog - not so good a mold see below.

MauiTiki - I may need helpful advise in the near future.

AtomicChick - I would love to have my work in your beautiful tiki room.

zerostreet - Ahhh, thanks a lot.

Well we have been working hard. Two steps forward and one step back. Today we poured the very first time into the Tiki Bob mold that we just made. It took the slip in one end and let it out the other. I plugged the leaks with clay so I will get a cast but what a mess. So we started another mold today to see if our technique has improved.

I forgot to center the tiki so I may have another lesson to learn.

Just like making a cake!

We had finished all the Tiki Crate mugs so it was time to get out the flashlight and to study each one for flaws. How did I miss this one? Any one want to go to Forbidde Island? Luckily it only happened to 6 but now I have to pour and sand and carve and bisque and glaze and fire 6 more in addition to the 50 statue versions I have ready to glaze. Never any time to rest. Good thing we love tiki art.

Cheers, Wendy
