Hi Friends, I got a surprise this morning when I saw I forgot to post yesterday. I'll just post the photos today. Not many. I'm just working on the Elroy Arts Space painting. It has to be finished by the 9th.

The new molds were staying cool and not drying out in 90 degree weather so we put a fan blowing on them and it is helping.

MadDogMike you are always a winner!

Atomic Tiki Punk (:

bavtech I hope you take photos and start a thread here. I'd like to watch your progress and to give you hints. I worked Sculpey for years before moving on to ceramics.

zerostreet is the wood you use Masonite? Do you have to prep it or just paint right on it?

Tavarua Tiki thank you. This is the first mermaid I've painted and it's been fun.

Danno thank you.

hang10tiki I'm happy to hear you found teeth for grandma. I'll check up on your carving thread.

clintiki welcome. Maybe I should name the painting Serene Siren although her space has been invaded by Munktiki's Hapi tikis. Maybe she's hiding her thoughts of I wish these guys would stop ogling me.

tigertail777 I'm glad you like the King's Goblet. That was my first choice for a name though I've kicked around a few.

Progress Report:

The painting must be a tribute to the Tiki Kon Munktiki mug 2012.

First I used it for the torch and now its a beach tiki totem.

Layering the paint and trying to match the mug.

I try lots of different ways.

I still need to make the pole more 3D. After that I'll work on the beach.

Check out zerostreets painting with the Munktiki mug. He's got it down.

Cheers, Wendy

May your 4th of July be fun and safe.
