Thank you WestADad. It's fun to do a new mug. I still need to do one for the Sacramento Ohana crawl so I'd better keep working.

Atomic Tiki Punk thank you for the Zombie Torch photo. I had just looked at Careless Navigators mug on line. There sure are a lot of great mugs out there.

Progress Report on the Wedding Mugs

I was contacted yesterday to find out if Tiki Bob could be removed from these mugs. I had just done that to make Sandra Dee's TNT mug so I knew it would work.

I filled in the depressions of the face and smoothed it.

Later I was contacted and asked if I could add long boards to that area.

This add on clay is very sticky and soft so today I'll be able to flatten out the boards and smooth them better.

Before I did all of the work above I finished carving the KU God head. I made it so that when the mugs are together the wedding couple are looking at each other.
Today I'll put their names and wedding date under each head.

Starting to carve out the mouth.

Done for now.

Don't the look in love?

One step at a time. It is really easy to ruin one side when working on the other so it is important to keep your finger nails very short.

Are you thinking up ideas for the next Wish List?

Cheers, Wendy
