Right now for all the Wish List projects it's make them and let them dry. You mug will have a big #1 on it but I will make similar ones in the future. Professor G U B Cute. I hope my art is in collections and that Dan and I are remembered after we are gone. We are trying to be like Louie B or Spurlin. It will take 50 or more years but one can always hope. zerostreet your new design is looking really good. Thank you. hang10tiki he gets #1. Atomic Tiki Punk I haven't forgotten that you wanted one when you were ready. Chippy's will be numbered #1 and it will go from there. Dan wants one too. So when you are ready let me know even if it's years from now. =================================================================================== ebTiki and White Devil your Bastard Bobs have been made. I will be tweaking them as they firm up and praying that with so much added clay that they don't blow up in the kiln. I try hard not to add in air bubbles but you never know. I need to know if you want any designs carved into the mugs like I did for Dan's version. I'll get back to you about colors when I get to that step a long time from now. Here is the link to his mug. https://tikicentral.com/uploads/251/528e56bb.jpg I took a couple of days to make these at the same time. Step one the suffering mouths. Step two cave back the noses. Add clay to the foreheads. Side view shows how much. Add clay to build the back shape. Both done. I worked with this sticky clay to remove the air bubbles. It takes four per Bob. I rolled them into shapes for the arms and legs for Bob 1. Leg. Legs and Butt. Placing the arm. Arm. Arm. Arm. Arms and Hands so the first Bob is as done as can be on day 1. Side. Backside. Side. Day two it's time to finish off the second Bob. Adding legs. Arms and Legs are done and this one is finished for now. Side. Backside. Side. Once these have firmed up I go and fine tune the shapes. I hope you all have a nice day with lots of smiles. Cheers, Wendy [ Edited by: danlovestikis 2014-02-13 08:47 ] [ Edited by: danlovestikis 2014-02-13 08:48 ]
