Professor G you are a wonderful ring leader.

swizzle I'm so happy you like it. One more photo below.

hang10tiki thank you always. Your Honu is being packed up today. I wish I were on my way to Las Vegas!

MadDogMike back at you I love your pirate ship, El Tiki mug and Ambien bottle. Is that how its spelled???

Great, that raises the question, "Why no Tiki DAN?!
Seems like a serious oversight Wendy.

Answer, he's for my hands only!

WaikikianMoeKele Vamp has requested a pink mug and I'll do my best to fulfill her wish.

Congratulations on Ian's birth. I bet you have an unending smile.

I'll be adding a beak today. I soaked the face last night so that adding clay should work.

Progress Wish List #3 and some misc.

I fine tuned the writing on Swizzle's mug.

I added design to Matt the Cat's Blue Bob's Brotherhood mug.

I added palm frond detail to Vampiress RN's Flamingo mug.

I found one more place in my home to place tikis in the works. They are drying.

Today is the last SALE day for Roge's chunk lamps. Check out my thread on Marketplace. I love advertising for him.

MP invented the Suffering Bastard Bob. Dan's on the list waiting a mug and a bowl. hang10tiki asked me to make a Suffering Bob and so I made sure that I didn't look at MP's design. I've tried to make it my own.

First step is making Bob look more like a Moai.

It's far from done.

I used a Tiki Farm design and I noticed that my Bob has skinny legs.

I've made a huge mistake. After I got this far I re-read the note from hang10tiki and found that all he wanted was the addition of arms and legs added to Bob. Dan's volunteered to take this off your hands hang10tiki, let me know what you think.

Woody please contact me. I have the photo of your cat and nothing else. I've started work on the Bob mug for your wife. This photo shows my model.

I made the part that goes into the mug so it won't fall off.

I need more photos of your cat front sides back. Do some with a flash.

Wish List #4 has begun. I quit working on #3 for the day. Dan and I had dinner and then started watching recorded shows. I decided to work on the Ren Clark tribute mug. Dan let me use the one I made for him in 2006. It's clay. I found last summer that if I mold something with enamel paint it will stick to the plaster. The heat of the setting plaster melts the paint. So to use this one and maybe to save it from destruction I'm covering it with a layer of clay.

My sculpt.

I beat NOTCH in making these but I wasn't a ceramicist yet. I made a few in clay and sold them on eBay. Now I'll make them in ceramic. I have a list on page one of who wants to buy one $125 each plus shipping. If you want to sign on let me know here or by PM.

Adding clay during Dateline, The Great Race and 24.


It still needs all the detail added but at least I've started.

Now its time to start my work day. I have so much glazing to do for Don the Beachcomber's sale on December 2nd. This is a premiere event run by Soccer Tiki and his wife Woo Hoo Wahine. Please come and say hi if you live down there.

Cheers, Wendy
