Gene S Morgan thank you for posting a note. I've never even seen a program other than paint which is hard to work with, maybe one day. I have enough paints to last a lifetime so I'm in no hurry. Please post step by steps on your light project.

zerostreet if only you could see them flicker!

MadDogMike it is nice that I have a gallery here that I can visit. He wants everything so I have to say no sometimes.

hang10tiki and to think those were Bob's with solid clay inside so I couldn't make them into mugs. Sometimes something pushes you into a new project that turns out fun.

TikiAno thing is about Dan he has the most fun trying to find a place for new tikis. He found the best place for these.

Progress Report

22 mugs drying in the shed.

I've had too many times that slip was too thick and hung up in the mold. So we buy 1/2 filled jugs.

I add water and stir it up until it feels just right. I do the same with plaster when I make molds.

I poured mugs #23 and #24. I figured out that my huge mess happened yesterday because I had only put on one strap and forgot to put on the other three. When we went to pour out the molds I saw that and put them on and all was well.

Then this afternoon I worked on the painting. Right now it looks like the palm trees are growing out of the ocean. That will change.

I thought it would be fun to wrap the palm fronds around the side. This will not have a frame.

Step by step.

Maybe I should call this Lotsa Coconuts.

Sharing Sherry and the Mocking Bird
The bird flies.

The bird lands on Sherry.

The bird better watch out because Sherry flies too!

Imagine what I could do if I knew photoshop! Thank you all for the kind words and for the visit.
Have a great night, Wendy
