When you mentioned that you had turned over the page to 200 you won a prize. Here it is. It went into the mail yesterday. It will take around 8 days to reach you. Congratulations. Yesterday I rubbed off all the tiny pieces of clay that had dried on Barrel Bob. I will sand this and if needed I'll carve some more texture that looks like wood-grain. IN glazes will show the slightest scratch (just see your new Moai). I'll use one of those on the wood and metal glaze on the straps. Your prize Moai will hang on the wall or you can wear it and wear out your neck! Hale Tiki Dan'ned, I need to remember this. WaikikianMoeKele and I love hearing from you. LoriLovesTiki best wishes for your sale. We'll look forward to your project when you have time. hang10tiki I checked out all your San Diego finds and wow you are one great tiki hunter. VampiressRN they sell those mugs at the Luxor in Las Vegas. They even come in 18K gold glaze. Here comes the crawl mugs next steps. uncle trav thank you for the visit and I thank everyone for liking Rum Barrel Bob. Progress Report: First thing in the morning I worked on the Sacramento Ohana Crawl mug. For littlegiles I've started on the butt. I cut two squares the same size. I rounded on square and used the other square to make the second one the same shape. I stuck them in place. This is the tool I used to shape the pieces. I removed most of the cellulite from one cheek and left to work on the severed heads. I have 22 heads left to glaze. I started by painting all 44 eyes with three coats of white paint. When the eyes were all done I started painting just the black parts on each head. It takes longer than I remembered for each head. Each black part is done 3 times so it took an hour to get this far for each head and there is still a lot left to do. At the end of the day I had 6. 16 are waiting for the black part to start. It's time to go to work, cheers, Wendy
