Hi MadDogMike, tigertail777, little lost tiki. Thank you for visiting here, I love to read your posts. Your words encourage me to work every day. I love looking at your threads and following your work.

Hi Linda,(umeone), do you have a thread to show how you make your Kahiki mugs? As part of the Kahiki family I know everyone would follow you through your journey. You and I started making ceramics about the same time. I saw one of your works in Kohalcharms collection, terrific.

Well Gang I've started the third platform for the Missionary's Downfall woman. I'm not sure how it will turn out. On this one I just pressed and pulled. I haven't decided on the top of the head yet. I want to see if I can do a Babalu technique and hollow it out like an chocolate bunny. I need for the bottom part to firm up first. (: Wendy

Dip clay to add into the slip.

Build up the clay to the shape you want.

This time I pressed in my fingers and shaped the mouth. I cut off the excess.

I added a tongue and checked to see if she fits.

Also leave room for shrinkage and glaze.
