Atomic Tiki Chick your Pac Man Key Bob is drying now. I hope you like his mouth and ball.

Progress on Wish List #3:

Joanne came by to pick up her Hot Bob. We had a fun visit.

Yesterday I fine tuned Santa Bob. I added rings around the body, made the rim and ball furry and added a straw hole.

Marone Tiki asked for one more enhancement to the Scuba Bob. He wanted air bubbles from the respirator up the cheek to the top. I obliged and personally loved the addition, good job Monty.

Pac Man Bob's are a long hard process. Maybe its just me. I carve out around all the detail.

Then I use a wet paper towel to smooth the background which flattens the dots etc. so I have to carve them back out.

Then I smooth with the wet paper towel again.

I do this back and forth until they all look good. When it dries I'll fine tune one more time.

To make the mouth I carved out a place for the ball and added a lower lip.

Then I added the upper lip.

Side view. He's done for now and will dry with the rest of them.

Today I will make one or two more Bobs and then while all the work done recently dries I'll start to glaze all the projects that need to go to the Don the Beachcomber's sale. Each time I say that I think of Art Snyder and how he won't be there this time. His passing is very sad.

I'll be back here tomorrow morning. Wendy
