THAT MADE MY DAY, WENDY GROG me like u art. VampiressRN GROG is a sweetie pie just like Matt. I really enjoyed seeing Matt and the mug together. Jon, I think you look better as is but it was fun to see you as Dan's twin. Marlene soon our Sacramento Ohana will grow by two in Elk Grove, how amazing is that? TikiAno starting on the left. Around 8 years ago several styles were sold in the garden section at Long's drug store. The one in the middle is from Hawaii and we got it in an antique store. The owner brought it home with him from a trip. I've seen another in a friends collection. We have had it around 10 years. The one on the right, we have two, was bought at an antique store 15 years ago and the owner said she was glad to sell them because she'd had them for twenty. Go Tiki has a mold for these and make terrific lamps. All three are concrete. Dan wishes I'd give up the Asian living room and the Egyptian bedroom but I think his spread has gone far enough and now he needs to continue to fine tune it. WaikikianMoeKele stay tuned for more episodes, no summer re-runs! hang10tiki Dan's long lost brother...and you both grew up to love tiki. LoriLovesTiki the one place we have that is not tiki enough is the backyard. I should tell Dan to work on that. Progress Report: Sacramento Crawl mug. I am taking orders and adding names to the list on page 1. The mug will be around 9 inches tall and have a 3 1/2 inch diameter. The sculpt right now is 4" x 10" but casts from the mold will shrink as they dry. Copying from a photo is difficult. I rough it out and then I repair making it match. I see that the arms are too narrow and I add clay. The arms needed a huge wedge to work. Then I see the belly wraps around under the elbows. littlegiles and Kele like butts so one will be attached to this backside. I smooth the added clay. Checking from different angles helps too. I checked the photo and found his shoulders were wider so more clay is added. My hands are too tired to continue so its time to join Dan and to watch TV The Butt and head will be the fun parts to sculpt. Anyone want to confess to voting for us on Cool and Current? Hugs, Wendy [ Edited by: danlovestikis 2013-04-13 11:08 ]
