Big Kahuna, thank you so much for the photos. It means a lot to me that I'm getting to see where my work has gone.

Holler Waller that could be a scary way to go!

The Zombie Torch sold out but I still have half of them to hand deliver here at home and a batch to drop off at Caliente. Some photos will be a long way off.

Wish List Progress Report:

Lori Loves Tiki had a request that Bob had a hand holding a little tiki. My first Bob with a hand! He's holding tiny Bob. At this point it was too sticky to fix detail. I had to re-carve the designs around the hand after affixing it to the mug.

I've been doing a lot of gift Bob's that I can't show yet. But here's one that is not going to give anything away.

For Holler Wallers Tapa Turtle Bob I want to keep it simple enough that the turtle shows up well. I I'll be doing a strip tapa design. Here's how far I got yesterday.

Here Comes Murph Dog. Having Bob become half Bob and half Dog started with Tiki Ba for Loki Tiki. This time around I'd had some practice and I cold remember steps like cut off the mouth.

I started by working the face and collar which will be cold painted with dogie pirates.


The ears were a challenge. I started this way so I could have equal sizes but as I progressed that didn't work out.

I think ears are complicated.

Murph Dogs ears changed position in every example photo.

So in the end I just did what was going to be safe for the mug.


His name will be worked on to deepen it.

When he firms up I will do a light brushing of fur lines.

A proud dog.

Please PM me if you have suggestions for fine tuning your mugs. Cheers, Wendy
