hang10tiki and TikiHula, you both made me think of how fun it would be to have a chocolate mold of these and to cast them for parties.

============================

Back to work for Mondo-by-the-bay, VampiressRN, Corona Contessa and TikiHula who all Wished for a Zombie Torch or mug.

Back in 2011 I bought a mold for Christmas tree ornaments on eBay. I needed a base from which I could make the flames for the torch mug. Even with the mold making the flames proved to be a lot of work. Now that I'm making the last 20 I noticed I was short one flame. So I decided to make three more in case I drop any. That also means that the three ladies above can change the flame color if they want to.

Pouring the mold.

Opened the next morning.

Three ready to alter.

They are very thin at the opening and need a lot of clay added.

First I add it to the inside.

Next I add it to the outside and form the flame.

The three are done and will need to dry slowly.

Now to make Tiki Hula's Zombie mug. I cut off the excess clay.

Side one cleaned up and nipples added.

Side two cleaned up and earrings are added.

A step further each day. Even though the holidays are here we keep plugging away on the Wish List. I have some really fun projects coming up. For one Bob will become a Rat Fink and then I'll be doing another album cover like I did for the Christmas Eve swap.

I will also begin to carve the three cannibals so I can make some bowls. That will require us to make molds. Every day is a busy fun day.

Happy Holidays, Wendy
