Progress Report: I'm having a blast making all these sea creatures. Since there are four panels to a lamp each side will be different except for the Bumatay centerpiece. Well that's how I'd make it. Roge will make the lamp as desired by the buyer. That makes each one unique.

Here's what I made yesterday.
Angel fish

Float

Puffer

Just in case it might look good Roge asked for a tail fin for the Bumatay as shown here.

The hard part is not making undercuts so they can be molded. I've started an anchor!

WestADad I sure wish the process were faster. We plan to pour #11 and #12 today. Thank you for holding a space for one. I should go measure the height. This is a very tall mug with the flame.

MDM I sure hope Roge can mold everything I've made. I'm allowed tiny undercuts. I'm so happy you like the Octopus.

zerostreet thank you always for stopping by to cheer me on.

Chuck Tatum is Tiki I've been thinking about how I would do these and came up with a three tiered plan.

1. The common tiki brown that shows detail so well with the bright flame on top.
   Or a solid color of the buyers choice as long as I have it in stock.

2. The same as number one but I would hand paint the Zombie and Girl with enamel
   and bake it to set.

3. The entire mug hand painted with three layers of underglaze and fired in buff like the old peanut mugs or glazed over with clear.

The cost would go higher with the amount of labor. What do you think of these choices? I will have examples of these before each person on the list decides what they want theirs to be.
