I thank you for stopping by to make my day special. Progress Report: I asked for a critique of my Spy/Tiki painting and MadDogMike was very helpful. I've done some further work on the hut rocks and Otto's right arm. I finished up the hands and gun. So here it is as it will look at the art show at Tiki Oasis 12. I finished up the Corona Contessa's Sombrero Bob. I hope I'm getting her name right. Her other name is Sandy. She requested palms on the back of her Bob and here they are. All of these made it onto the top shelf of the kiln and I fired them last night. The kiln will open Sunday morning. 10tikichef62 requested that a shrunken head of Bob, held by big Bob, be added to his mug. dartharnie has requested a Wolfman Bob. Somehow I combined these orders last night. Here are some photos of 10tikichef62's mug and how I corrected it. In the end it could get cut off and become a necklace! I started with a small Bob that I use for the small Tiki Bob Bowls. I cut out the face and then filled the back with sticky clay. I built on a lava Tiki Bob hand and attached it to the small head and then to the mug. By the time I finished the carving he looked like Wolfman (dartharnie will this be ok for when I do your big mug?) So I smoothed the "fur" back off and changed it to wrinkles. Then I added rope through the eyes and lips. Next I'll find out if this works for 19tikichef62. I can change it again and again as long as it stays in plastic and doesn't dry out. As an example as to cost for a project like this. Looking at page 116: Tall Bob $80 Addition of the clay to change Bob to a volcano and to add the hand and shrunken head $25 To add a Missionary's Downfall woman $75 Total at the end when it is completely finished $180 plus shipping. If it blows up in the kiln or glazes wrong that's on me and I would start again until I get it right. What I like is being your hands to make what you want in the colors you want. Orders are open until Midnight Sunday. Challenge me!! Wendy
