Aloha,
Babalu you are right I need to take a class. I love your term "mudslinger" :)
Beachbumz thank you for your compliment, I am very pleased with Santa Island. He is off getting bisque fired, I'm hoping all goes well and he comes home soon. :lol:
I did another mini Tiki Mug today; First made a cylinder the size of the mug I wanted

Then etched the figure on the cylinder, with reference points to keep him in proper proportion.

I was concerned that I wouldn't get all the detail right on this guy but, a little cut with a wire and I could see wear I was going with him.

This little guy was quit intricate for me, very tense. Had to take a break.

I'm liking how he is progressing but, I need to work a little faster, he is drying out to fast.

Awesome, now just add the itty bitty letters and dig out the inside.

Ta-Da! Now he can join his friends on Tiki Mug Island! :lol:

Mahalo,
Linda(aka; mudslinger) :lol:
