Jungle Trader your Minnie's mug is still one of our favorites. I like those salads too. Thank you.

Big Kahuna I hope Atomic Chick feels the love.

Wish List Progress Report:

I carved the water waves into the side of each Bumatay Fish Bowl.

I put them in the shed to dry. When they are I'll have my first load to bisque fire. I have made one more Bumatay bowl on spec. It has 3 rather than 4 of the fish. It's price is $250 and is #1 since it is short a fish.

Next I worked on Psycho Tiki D's Missionary's Downfall bowl. I needed to make these strips of clay look like Bamboo.

Here's how I finished it.

Next I used these rubber stamps.

The first bowl I made (that was ruined in the mold making process) I had misspelled Missionary's leaving out an i. This time I misspelled Downfall leaving out the w. I swear this bowl is cursed.

Clay is very forgiving and I was able to fix it. I always carve the letters after using the stamp as a guide. I added a bit of carving to the edge and now it's also in the shed drying.

This must be the year of the topless woman for my works of art.

Last night I spent 15 minutes per mug to fine tune them and to carve around the face. I did 12. During that time we watched The Great Race, Missing and Desperate Housewives. I like accomplishing something while the TV plays. It's a good start. Soon I'll be working on just the Bob mugs.

This morning we poured a few extras in case I ruin something. Happy Days, Wendy
