Hi Friends, we had more fun reading your posts than going out to brunch. Thank you each for the congratulations... Wish List Progress Report: Either the mugs and bowls are coming out of the kiln tonight or they are drying and waiting to be sanded and bisque fired. I've finished sculpting every one on the current wish list. Soon I'll open the next one that I'll working on after Oasis. Thank you for keeping me busy. Today Dan and I are going to make a few molds to keep going with the Bob's. After a while they begin to leak. So I'll make some new sides. It's easier than a new start because the old mold is used to make the new one. Tavarua Tiki here is your Creature From The Bob Lagoon. A regular Bob mug with clay added to the back. Building the face. Doug Horne a friend of ours and a wonderful artist consented to our using his puffer fish as a guide for this mug. Of course our puffer can't have the spines so long and because he has been caught his eye will be wide open. The tail is added and the little spine dots will be better attached. To do the hand he is turned upside down. The name of the mug is added to the bottom. Adding detail. making marks to tie in the front to the back. The creature is standing in weeds or underwater with plant life. Side view. He had to be wrapped so the clay can equalize the water content. Today he will be unwrapped and begin to dry. When he is dry I'll bisque fire all the mugs. Next up a full days work in the garage and then the fun of opening the kiln. I hope you will visit tomorrow. Cheers, Wendy |
