He really cracked up and I think we will send it on to a few friends and family members to see what they think. Not much sterile technique in that photo. You are a master and we hope you never stop. hang10tiki spitting coke proves he is a master but you too are right up there. I'm so happy to hear you are working on the stump. I'll check out your carving thread soon. My whole tiki career started with repairing chips for Dan. littlegiles Dan thanks you Dale. The surgeon said it would take two weeks before he felt a change but not so. He felt less pain by the next day. We took a walk and he didn't limp. Good news for him and for the mug that got repaired. What's up. A couple of days ago I mentioned we were going to the Cancer Society Pacific Rim Sale. Well it was except they are saving everything Hawaiian, Island and tiki for June. However we did find one spoon from Mexico that was close enough and Dan bought it for his collection. Yesterday we took a break and went to the Elk Grove Western Festival. New cars and booths around the lake in the park. This was where we took the walk and Dan did much better. When we got home he worked the repaired mug into his collection. Progress Report on the Sacramento Crawl mug The mug looked close to finished except for the lettering however it was far from done. I needed to go over each part and to make it look even more like the carved wooden tiki. The parts I changed were the top, eyes, cheeks, nose, the sides of the mouth and lips. These were all big changes. I'll just show you how I did the nose again. Now I'm satisfied that it looks as much like the wooden tiki as I can do for molding. Much more will happen to each clay cast. Example I will add the grooves above the eyes and the nostrils. Here's the second nose re-work. The nose needed to sit back further than the lips. It's getting much better with a some cosmetic surgery. I hope to finish it this week. I hope you are all having a great weekend. Cheers, Wendy
