Boognish for the face, Ween for the group and Mollusk for the sea creature. I'm glad you cleared up the Quebec as the name of the album rather than where they came from too. Glad you like it all. zerostreet anytime, just let me know. I'm especially happy we got a red one. He has a great face. ================================================================================================= I think I have finished the sculpting of the lunavideogames Ween mug. I still need to put his friends names and wedding date on the bottom. I won't do that until it has dried more. I don't want to dent any of the outside. It will not look it's best until it is dried and sanded. Drying has to be super slow so that none of these additions crack. Next I needed to finish the mouth and eyes. I counted eleven bars and I cut strips of paper in the right size. I was hopeful that it would work out. I dipped the strips in water so they would stick better. I lined them up trying to match the photo and it worked out just right. I was so happy. Then I used this tool to carve out the clay between the strips. I removed the strips and fine tuned the carving. Water and a paint brush is the best sander at this stage. I cleaned it up. He really suited this mug shape well especially since the top has been removed and cleaned up. The eyes are done too. Four images that show the whole mug. Now I'll start on the Buffy mug. I'm more on my own with this one so I hope I get it right. I hope you all have a great weekend. Wendy
