When are you getting back to making your next ceramic design? hang10tiki I wish fast was true. I've been working on the Wish List #3 for months. I never give up and some people have gotten their wishes. WaikikianMoeKele my mom was both an unusual & extraordinary woman. She could do anything. She didn't just build she could paint, sculpt, make movies, write books and she always shared what she knew with those who asked. Thank you. Hale Tiki it sure makes me happy that Philot design is one that you all appreciate. VampiressRN (Awesome temple...love the jag) Using a Mayan design makes an abstract jaguar but one that is perfect for the bowl, thank you Vamp. (Your Mom looked like she was quite a character. I am still enamored of the great space movies your Mom made...it was a blast watching them and M&Ms!!!) We made some fun movies and I love showing them. You have a special mom too. tigertail777 It was too weird that I was thinking about vines when I got up this morning and there was your note. Adding green isn't going to work for the color scheme we have decided on but I can see your vision and its a good one. Thank you everyone for your comments. I'm up early to get back to the bowl. It's getting to the fun stage now. Roge sent us a gift of my Sea Creatures cast in resin. He's ready to make more chunk lamps and has some pre-made tiki lamps as well. To check out his sales see Etsy http://www.etsy.com/shop/ArtLampDesignByRoger?page=1 Progress on Wish List #3: In the months before I opened #3 for orders I poured ahead and wrapped every item in plastic wrap. They all dried out and couldn't be re-hydrated. So each item is only good for carving. Yesterday Dan sanded all the remaining dry pieces for me. In the future I'll carve tapa and Maori designs into these and I have secret ideas too. Philot's Mayan Temple of the Jaguar Bowl. I got all the supplies and parts together. I didn't get the angle right but you get the idea of how the jaguars will support the bowl in this photo. I use the first jaguar as a template for making the other two. They will match better this way. Mark. Cut. Check it out. Use a roller to smooth. Cut. Mark to cut. Mark to cut. I did all the steps shown yesterday to came up with two more Mayan Jaguars in the same amount of time it took to do one yesterday. They are each unique and that shows that they were hand built and that this is a one of a kind custom bowl. Today I will carve out their insides. Does that sound like a Mayan ritual? Cheers, Wendy [ Edited by: danlovestikis 2012-11-03 07:55 ]
