Dan and I love that photoshop is being used to enhance our lives.

hang10tiki Dan has been working on the last batch of 78's. He has them on CD. Next he'll be adding the sound effects. He loved his photoshop best but I liked my moai best. Thank you.

LoriLovesTiki we went out to dinner at 4 PM and then came home to watch TV until bed time at 8 PM. I did wake up to hear all the booms in our neighborhood but Dan slept right through.

#1 is yours. When it is time to glaze we'll talk again. All guests stay in the Buzzy bedroom surrounded by his pinups and zerostreets art!

TikiAno I think it should have the classic glaze. I hope I can pull it off because I need to do it for hang10tiki's peanut mug too. Maybe I will mold it!

DooWop he'll only get better as the detail is added. I'm so happy you are pleased. More Ginger photos below.

zerostreet awesome burrito, good job, now Dan's wanting to find one that size. He has a problem with portion size. He said your burrito is just right.

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

Dan asked me to repair these two chips. One is on the Moai ear and the other on the foot of the Maori boat.

It's hard to tell but here I've used Elmer's wood filler to fix the chips. Over fill because it shrinks as it dries.

After they dried over night I sanded them.

I mixed some enamel paints called Glossie's by Liquitex and covered the filler. They are back in Dan's collection.

Update on Doo Wop's Creature mug.

I took a dozen photos on this day but all the changes were to tiny that showing the last photo of the day was best.

I'm only working on this one mug right now. There is a lot of detail. Closed down for the night.

There are many adjustments that occur during a sculpture. Here I've added one strap.

I put a new chin back on and now the head is turned towards the surf creature.

The face will change over and over again until it is right. I have to let the super soft clay dry after adding it and then add more later.

Both straps are on but as I look at the album I can see that the top of the suit needs to be lowered to make it a bit sexier.

The album.

Well friends this maybe the last post I'll be making for awhile. We are going on a trip. Dan and I are going to visit Benzart and the Mai Kai and then on to see my nephew and his wife. I'll have lots of photos to post when we return.
We are going to miss you. Every day is fun on Tiki Central with all my friends here.

Please feel free to photoshop, visit or leave us messages on this thread. We'll look forward to reading them when we return home.

If you have any of my art displayed in your home I'd love to see a photo posted while we're gone. Even if you have posted it before just do a different angle.

Thank you so much for all the joy you bring me. When we return I'll make up for lost time and get busy with the Wish List #4.

Cheers, Wendy
