We watch Hawaii Life on cable TV and even though we haven't been there in 9 years we still are familiar with many places they show. It's all fun but going to Gecko'z is the best stop of all. We haven't seen this home since they moved. One day we will. GROG you fooled me. You must be brothers from different mother's. hang10tiki yesterday was lots of fun. Tiki Hula came over to play with clay and he brought Dan two huge pieces of cloth. This one would make a nice shower curtain! =================================================================== Tiki Hula has a vision for a volcano bowl and is willing to work hard to pull it off. However the bowl stuck to the turn table and so he had to cut it off. After he lifted it up we put a plastic bag under it so that it won't stick again. This "volcano" in the middle of the bowl needed some touch up. Next step cut a slab of clay and then roller it smooth and the same thickness across. I had him make a pattern of the size of the top with a bit of an overhang. Next he cut the clay using the pattern. All done. Next he added slip as glue. WhaLa the slab is in place. Now he trimmed it so that the size was correct. Humm is this working? What should I do next? He made a dip in the top to hold high intensity rum. Once it was deep enough he trimmed off the excess clay and check out the next part he wanted to add. What is it? Back to the garage to cut more pieces of clay. Cut cut cut. Loaded up and back into the house. Time to sculpt. Don't just sit there looking pretty back to work! These will need to be hollowed out so he began the process. Can you see Dan in the background watching TV? Mike arrived at 11 am and decided he'd let me do a bit of sculpting on his project. I got this far by 9 PM. Working on number two. Number one in the bag. Number two in the bag. These need to rest for awhile before more detail is added. Have you figured out his bowl design. It's only just begun. Tiki Hula will be back again next Sunday. ============================================= Doo Wop I'll have photos of your mug in progress tomorrow. ============================================= Cheers and happy holidays, Wendy
