hang10tiki are you coming to Don's in December? 150, you noticed, thank you.

dartharnie I'm looking forward to the photos with wawascarymonster. I'm glad you like the jaguar and my many pages of posts.

Hale Tiki My mom made many movies with the Sacramento Armature Movie Makers (SAMM). One was of the first two woman to head to the planet Mars. Their ship was hit by a meteor and sent on to Far Planet. Someday I'll learn U-Tube. They've been taken from 16mm to VHS Tape. I need to go the next step.

I finally got my analog photos back in the mail. It shows that a disposable camera left in a hot car for years degrades. I was lucky to get any photos. I can tell who these people on the Sacramento Crawl are, can you?

Progress Wish List #3

Philot's Temple of the Jaguar bowl

I started by removing clay inside the stone block bodies.

I was able to clean it out clear up into the head.

I made an opening so that clay when I attach the bowl sticky clay can push out and not have an air pocket.

I put them into position and added a support for the center of the bowl.

I added sticky clay to the top of the jaguars as glue.

I put the very soft bowl on top and pressed down.

You can see the supports. I will add clay to smooth this out and also sanding will help once it is dry.

I smoothed the "glue" clay around the bowl.

I wonder how close this is to when the Mayans made their bowls. As this bowl slowly dries I'll fine tune it.

I also assembled a Tiki Bob bowl. Dan has already claimed it as his own. I pay him good wages for helping me and he's worth it.

In less than a month we'll be at Don the Beachcomber's, Huntington Beach to sell ceramics. I hope to see many of you there. Stop to visit and tell me both your names.

I'm bringing these.

Gosh the time went backwards. I guess we got up at 5 AM! We'll have a nice long work day. Cheers, Wendy
