I swear we have not voted for ourselves. I do know that GROG votes for us so I'll thank him with a big hug next time I see him. littlegiles when I have really bad days I know that I'll have a good sharing day. It helps lessen the pain. GROG there is one benefit to making molds. I get to see Dan non-stop and admire him for his willingness to help me. I never once said Dan-it that day. We both were ok because we knew we had one good mold made. LoriLovesTiki- the good, the bad and the ugly, I just needed one more mold for the last name. hang10tiki I hope that one mold will be enough. I have to see how long it needs to remain in the mold before it is strong enough to stand without slumping. Or maybe I'll lay him down when he comes out of the mold. Since he is so big I have to learn what works best. We will see you in a few days. TikiAno I'm glad to help. If it weren't for Kingstiedye introducing me to Mike L. the master mold maker I may never have gotten to this point. That's why I decided that we all need to share information. Progress Report: The mold is drying. Just in case I'm wrong and I have to have two or more molds and need to start again I did some repairs to the original sculpt. If I need him I'll add the lettering and start again. This shows the damage I inflicted on him trying to stop the rocking of the mold piece. I added clay to the backside. After I built it up I smoothed it out. Now if I need him again I'll carve in the lettering and be good to go. While the mold dries and the heads are shipped to new owners I can move on to other projects. Soon I'll begin a painting for Tiki Oasis 13 but for now I'll make a few Bobs for fun. So far I've done Rum Barrel Bob, Bob Woody, Mrs. Tiki Bob and lightning Bob. Now showing Underwater Bob He has waves of water, two seahorses and a float. Next up is Clam Up Bob he won't tell you the name of his insider drink. When I have these finished I'll offer them here for sale. But if you want first chance at one just PM me. So far there is one PM for Mrs. Bob. Thank you for your support which is very much appreciated. Every morning I look forward to reading your comments. Sincerely, Wendy and Dan too
