lunavideogames and Hale Tiki thank you. I'm becoming fond of Pac Man based on just doing this mug.

Progress Report:

Yesterday I did four 45 minute loads of mugs in my home oven. Now the enamel is set and I can box the crawl mugs. One week to spare. Hurray! I can also send tigertail7777 his necklace as well as some other finished tikis.

All but one of the sea life creatures came out of the mold. There is a lot of clean up but I'm very happy with how they turned out. Soon I'll make another strange mug.

I'm casting Bob's and bowls and misc. to be ready for more of the Wish List to be made.

This time I'm storing the damp casts inside plastic baggies and so far they do not show any signs of drying. Yippee.

I set up my work station to begin on Philot's Mayan Temple Jaguar bowl. The bowl has been wrapped in a couple of plastic garbage bags. In the weeks its been wrapped it didn't dry out either a double yippee!

He sent me diagrams for the bowl but recently requested the jaguars be larger. I used the bowl to decided what would work out.

Using a huge knife and a chopper I made three bricks.

I'm not as precise as the Mayans but they are close. I left them ticker so that I can carve from the top down and then cut off the excess.

Using his diagram I worked on the Mayan Temple.

I added clay where I needed it.

I copied photos from Google Images. To add the room at the top.

Next up will be all the steps to the top.

Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate it so much, Wendy
