littlegiles there are so many pitfalls in ceramics that practice makes perfect isn't the rule here. Clay does what it wants so we just have to keep trying to make it behave and not fret when things go wrong. Thank you for cheering me on.

Dan's very happy with his peanut bowl and ready to work even harder.

hang10tiki it was fun to make. I will start glazing on Saturday so your little Bob prize will have its turn at the brush.

Thank you everyone for your patience. I have the work project binder organized and complete. The Crawl mug and Tiki Farm contest mugs have one more weeks work to go and then I'll tackle all of your projects as these fire up.

bavtech/Nelson/Mahalo Tiki is coming here Saturday to glaze some of his peanut mugs in unusual colors. He always has something different for sale.

Progress Report:

We also continue to pour the crawl mug and fine tune them. The crawl is in October. Ordering one is on that thread. I hope to have one finished for viewing at the end of next week.

Dawee Tiki asked if I was gearing up to make another Ren Clark severed head in ceramics. The first head at the left is by Notch,he made around 100. Before we knew that the head was so small, see it at the far right, I used the photo in the book of tiki to make the two in the middle. These were made in clay by hand and were for display only. Dan calls the really big one the Severed head bowl.

I told Dawee Tiki that I could do this again making one in ceramics for the next Wish List 4. Let me know if there is interest. If enough of you want one I would then make a mold of the sculpt to do it right.

Sorry no pictures of the contest mug until the end of September. Cheers, Wendy
