LoriLovesTiki thank you for the Wow's. Mom's movies are at the Sacramento Room of the main library. They have the original reels and the movies to view on VHS tape. They don't check them out but they have a TV and chairs where people can come to view them. She was very special and loving.

(Scuba Bob looks like so much fun! The goggles look a little like "Cheap beachbum sunglasses" and made me smile.) Horrors dartharnie I wasn't going for that look. I'm so thankful you pointed it out. While I fine tuned it yesterday I changed those "sunglasses" to goggles closer to the photo. Keep an eye on my work please.

hang10tiki I sure am lucky that I'm asked to do fun projects. I just hope I can dry it slowly enough that that don't crack open and lose the O2.

tigertail777 thank you for the photo-shop information. I thought it was for altering photos to tease GROG and Dan which we love to see.

The Temple of the Jaguar colors have been chosen by Philot and it should look good.

Thank you for your notes, Wendy

Progress Report Wish List #3.

Yesterday was the day to work on projects you've seen before. I did make them better. Here are the photos.

I used these three tools to add coconut texture to Dan's new Coconut Bob bowl. The faces and inside of the bowl will be white and the outside brown just like the old mugs. Dan keeps grabbing all my Bob Bowls.

Saved by dartharnie, here are the new goggles.

I cleaned up the straps.

I added four fish which reminded me of the surfing Harvey's girl mug.

Done and ready to slowly dry.

Philot's Temple of the Jaguar Bowl
It was time to start the stones. I looked for something the right size to mark the lines like a ruler.

Then a huge surprise. I noticed the bottom was inset and the size of the stones I wanted to mark. So I pressed the end into the clay.

I did this to all three jaguars and then carved the last ones at the top.

Next I used a very wet brush to run between the stones to clean them up. They've been done on the left and not on the right.

When I did the sculpt for the Moai head for the Chunk Lamps I used this sand paper to make a stone surface.

All done and ready to slowly dry.

Close up.

I need to turn it over so the bottoms will dry too.

Chunk Lamps by Roge are ON SALE on Marketplace until November 12th. He's made a mold and brought back the lamp he made in the early 60's before most of you were born! Please check them out. His lamps are terrific.
