Finally got back to some tiki-centered work. First up: improved version of Moai coasters- w/ a larger coaster section (that will hold a real-sized mai tai glass). First I threw a slab, trimmed out the shape, drew in the basics, then used a jar of glaze to imprint a circle for the glassware (please note: that is an oversized pencil in the photo):

Then built up the nose and forehead. These have a more authentic Moai nose. I also added a little more depth and shape to the forehead and the eye sockets.

I made another one- here's a photo w/ a hand to show scale. They're now covered in plastic to firm up. They're sitting on a piece of drywall so they stay flat.

I also wanted another go at the Kahiki Coaster. The first two I made were a little too small for a glass. First I trimmed out a basic shape:

Then I corrected the shape and started building it up:

Now wait a bit to get these to firm up a bit, then trim a big more. Thanks for lookin'.
