What a great way to spend a Sunday. I've just read all your notes.

hang10tiki I keep perfect records and tiki taxes already exist dang it.

MadDogMike welcome home you sure have been missed. Now get busy so we may comment on your work. I'm happy you gave me a thumbs up.

dartharnie there is just something very special about Jonice Franks War God. See what I've done below. Oh by the way I smile as he cleans up too.

VampiressRN I love the bowl too because it is my connection to a fine lady of art pottery. Joniece is such a master. Too bad the restaurants failed or we have more of her work out there. Well on the other hand rarity works too.

Progress Reports on the Elroy Arts Space painting and the new Frankoma Bowl for the next (3rd) Wish List.

I've decided the woman is a mermaid.

The Munktiki Tiki Kon mug must be in the painting. I put it on the torch. Wood grain first.

Close up.

To nipple or to sea shell. That is the question. Maybe I'll just cover them over with her long black hair. What do you think I should do?

Now onto the formation of the Kini Inu Umeke (King Drink Bowl) very primitive.

Giving credit where it is due.

I added wet clay to the bottom of the bowl.

I pressed him into place.

I cleaned up the excess clay.

During the bisque firing he blew his top and separated from the bowl.

I had a second one ready to go. I wondered would it happen again. YES it also blew off the bowl.

Using Magic Mend a product that MadDogMike told me about works miracles.

Here is the first one finished. These will be available on the next Wish List.

Comments please.

Now it is time to paint. Cheers, Wendy
