No Wendy, Dan is not a redneck because he doesn't own a tux. Besides, he looks damned handsome in a Hawaiian shirt! :D The Saga of Bryan's King Kamehameha Bowl My brother Bryan passed away almost 2 years ago. When he was in grade school, he made this 4 inch ceramic head in class. He gave it to my grandmother and she proudly displayed it on her dining room shelf with her Hummel figurines and ceramic birds. When my grandmother passed away several years ago I retrieved the head to return it to Bryan, but he didn't want it ~ he said it was ugly! So I kept it and have proudly displayed it on my dining room shelf. But I wanted to do something more with it. So last week I made of mold of it and cast 3 duplicate heads I realize these are not the facial features normally associated with King Kamehameha, but I have never been one to let authenticity prevent me from having a good time! The plan is to add Hawaiian feathered helmets to the heads then use them to support a bowl. The heads will be glazed normally with bronze skin and red & yellow helmets but I have something special planned for the bowl ~ one of those "live on the edge" techniques that may turn out really cool or may ruin it! :lol:
