pwest71, they took 100 photos I didn't even think about them showing the Bobs before the sale. But I just noticed that Grog himself has shown his done Bobs and they are done well! Thank you for reading my article and writing, it makes it so much fun. Here's a distance shot just for you. The grey Bobs are the clay sculpture I did in clay and then molded.

I've decided that it's time to give up my best secret. This thread is all about teaching and learning art. I've had a lot of feedback on my painting of Kinny little lost tiki. Most were how did you get it so close. It's not easy but I have a trick that works really well.

When the photo was all together I drew the outline. Then I paint the chin and with the cut out piece I check to make sure it is the right size. Then I put another section of the photo in place and paint below it then check again. Back and forth as the painting grows section by section.

Back to Tiki Bob. I filled Tiki Bob Bowls hole in the head and painted it with enamel and baked it, the same with the Decanter Bobs eyes. So now I'm set for the show.

See ya at the show! Wendy
