I'm enjoying the challenges you come up with and I'll always post photos of my progress. Sandra Dee, thank you, please try to come to the Artists Reception on Saturday to see the painting in person and to have fun with the activities. See you soon friend. hang10tiki when I was a tour guide in Yellowstone you were probably trying to learn how to ride your bike (the summers of 74 and 75)! Thank you so many times. Professor G lots of tiki ideas that could be made and for you so many dishes to create and photos to take! It just fun to keep going and going and going. Progress Report: Menu from the long gone Hawaiian Hut that was in West Sacramento. The Sacramento Crawl mug. The first two came out of the molds yesterday. They are rough and need a lot of fine tuning. Mold line are bad because I had to dig the original out of the molds. I decided to carry on the carving around the mug. All done by hand. I still need to fine tune the words at the bottom. These will be glazed and hand painted. On the first two I'll use to find the right glaze and paint colors. They are missing one element. I forgot to add the lei around the girls neck after taking it out of the mold. I'll remember on the rest of them. Any one can ask to be on the left-overs list. Those who attend get them first. 19tikichef62 has ordered a Volcano Bob with a Missionary's Downfall woman as Pele and Bob will be holding a shrunken Missionary's head. The girl will and Bob will have Maori style tattoos. Now this is one over the top project, just the kind I love. Here's where I'm at right now. It takes a 6 piece mold to cast her. It's a puzzle to put together. It also means there are 6 mold lines to remove during clean up. The lava flows over her lap and attaches to her side. Yesterday we ran off to an Estate Sale. We found a few tiki treasures. The mask may not be tiki but we like it. We waited in 101 degree heat for 50 minutes to get into the house. It ended up worth it. Thanks for checking in, Wendy [ Edited by: danlovestikis 2012-08-03 10:12 ]
