Atomic Tiki Punk and hang10tiki thank you for the boost to keep me going.

Babalu thank you for checking up on me. I'm so glad that you convinced me to make molds. It's been a learning curve that's like a roller coaster but in the end we always end up with molds that work.

Here's yesterday:

One whack at a time I chiseled out the original bowl from the mold.

By the time the molds were ready to pour out I had finished.
All defects can be fixed once a poured bowl is out of the mold. Dents just add clay that can be sliced off. I did fill them with plaster but I don't know if it will stick. Now this mold will dry for a week or more.All defects can be fixed once a poured bowl is out of the mold. Dents just add clay that can be sliced off.

We poured all these molds yesterday.

The tikis for the Wish List are stacking up and waiting until it is their turn.

Two Bumatay's for bowl were poured.

I need the fins to be strong and thick.

I filled in the fins with more slip so that they are solid.

Progress on the Zombie Torch mugs.

Yesterday I did the first layer on the flowers.

Next I painted all the eyebrows and lashes.

Step by step they are nearing the time in the oven! Cheers, Wendy
