This morning we go back for another appointment for our first light wave study. I'll share photos of that one in the future. Hale will share everything with us soon. I just had this small part to help him pull it off. Hale Tikis mind and my hands, thank you, we liked the mugs too. GROG you will make the cutest zipper club member ever. You may hijack my thread whenever you like, my gift to you! Ceramics have to take a backseat to good health and everyone loves you and will be patient. I'm glad you think we look cute having our tests. We work hard at that since we are senior citizens. Gene S Morgan these tests were really easy except Dan's veins are too small for a big guy. The tech bragged that she was the one they called on for hard cases, well she had to poke him twice. We are looking forward to the results meanwhile we do lift those molds and make those tikis. PS I've been back to look at your tiki shower curtain twice more. The design and colors are such fun. Hale Tiki it is such fun to finally get to share your designs and my work with everyone along with the bumps in the road. The Hale Tiki story continues... His mug. I added the chin and then the tongue. Side view. Then I started on the headdress. Next I skipped down to the bottom to start the drum design. More and more the design was carved into the mug. Maddy's mug I fine tuned the puffer fish the sea horse and worked on the octopus face. Hale Tiki requested happy faces. Then it came time to roll dozens of little sticky clay balls for the octopus. I would put them in place and push a hole into each one with a paintbrush end. Then I would use slip as glue and brush it around each one. Hours later they were all in place. Nothing goes as fast as what you see each day I post. This is the speed it up version. I did have a deadline which I don't usually like to work by but this was for a very special event. The pressure was on! Cheers, Wendy
