Yippee I love waking up to a good list of comments. I don't drink coffee. This is so much better.

MadDogMike its Wendy's Wish List. I just prefer Tiki Central to national.

Vamp the chocolate line is my favorite and didn't we all want to be the person stuffing chocolates into our mouth. Thank you for he link.

littlegiles this is just the first step into using my dried casts that can't be used for bowls. Thank you for giving me the push.

hang10tiki watch out the army is growing.

littlegiles my maniacal laugh is hehehehehehehehe.

Professor G I have your PM. Thank you.

Mahalo Tiki come prepared to work work work. Bring a few rolls of Brawny paper towels that come in half sheets. To get ahead tear them off the rolls and stack them up. See you Saturday.

The next Wish List #4 MAY mainly be making the Ren Clark mug clone. The one shown on the shelf I made in clay not ceramics. So If I do this I will be starting from scratch. I will not start until all current projects on Wish List #3 have been completed.

I need 12 orders before I will even consider doing this project.
I've started a list for those who would like one or more here:

Dawee Tiki 3
ebTiki 1
Tiki Wahini 1
Loki Tiki 1
Moai Mike 2
The Blue Kahuna 1
Michael Mon. 1
hang10tiki
Holler Waller
littlegiles
Sandra Dee

Progress Wish List 3

Philot's bowl is the biggest challenge this time around. Dan and I made the mold of an old bowl. We just made the bottom half.

This is the first time we have poured one.

We let it sit for 2 hours then poured out the excess. It looked as if 2 hours was just right. If it was too thin we would have poured more slip back in and let it sit longer.

We turned it upside down. No wooden supports in case it fell out. This was the scary part.

Turned it back over.

I used a very soft brush to smooth the surface some.

I let it dry over night. It was easy to remove from the mold. Now the bowl will firm up over time so I can work with it.

To keep it from cracking it will firm up while wrapped twice in plastic.

I sanded everything on the two tables that I've shown previously. Dan then blew off the dust inside and out.

I forgot to take a photo of the first shelf. This is the top shelf. I got every single item into the kiln. The cost is the same for 1 or 46 items. I was thrilled to have fit all 46 into the kiln. I'll open it up tomorrow.

Thank you all again for this mornings shot of caffeen! Wendy
