tigertail777 I love your thread and hope that you'll start a new project soon You are a true artist. Thank you for this visit.

kingstiedye when I got home I was horrified to find that I hadn't taken any photos. So I guess we'll have to come back really soon. I have already cut and placed the abalone in the eye of your necklace. I'll fix the noses soon. Did you see Joe Namath at the Olympics. He was in a fur coat.

LoriLovesTiki only happiness on this thread.

TikiAno lids are as hard as making an entire mug. I'll be happy if it doesn't crack. The last time Dan and I watched any sports it was when Andre Agassi still had hair. We don't know any teams or players. We would lose at Jeopardy or the millionaire game.
Thank you for always making me feel so good about my work.

lunavideogames That is so funny. I'll post Dan posing for his mug below.

hang10tiki U 2 funny. It could have been better if I'd carved it while it was still wet. But as a prize it works. I just hope I can do the buff glaze as planned.

DooWop it won't be long before I have all the Wish List projects made and I can start to sand them. Maybe after the March 8th Marketplace at Don the Beachcombers. Glazing is always interesting and scary.

LoriLovesTiki these trays are good enough to hang on the wall.

dartharnie I'm so happy that it meets your expectations. Maybe all the monsters can face the Yankee in the middle. I hope to finish the girls bowls tomorrow. Some changes but I think they'll like them.

Thank you for this photo of all the monster mugs together. I love seeing them united.

TikiHula one Wish List at a time.

Thank you everyone for all these fun to read messages. Made my day. I was going to relax tonight but I just couldn't resist answering and posting some fun Tiki Hula photos.

Here goes.

When Tiki Hula comes over we always start out by going to lunch. He a lover of desert buffets. Can you tell?

The disk had finally dried and now it was time to fit it into the hold on top of the AL DEAD fez.

I just kept carving and sanding it down until it fit.

Once it fit I did a bit more scraping to smooth the top.

Looks pretty good here but I needed to remove a bit more to make room for the Magic Mend.

Here's the bowl with the Magic Mend in front.

Here's the bowl with Tiki Hula the designer in front.

I painted some on the fez opening and on the disc and put it into place. Then I filled around the disk with extra.

Then I used my favorite tool the label scraper to remove the excess.

While it dried we took a break to see the progress Dan's made in the newest tiki room. My projects that are drying are stacking up.

Now it was dry

and so I added some more.

I had Tiki Hula flip the bowl over to add the mend on the inside. One of the heads broke loose. Luckily it fell hitting my finger which broke the fall rather than the head.

Magic Mend is made for gluing dried clay objects together. So that's just what we did. Looks good as new.

I took this photo of Tiki Hula and then noticed how much he looks like

one of the heads on the bowl!!!

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

We tried the same trick with the camera. But found that Dan looks more normal

when altered. We'll have to go back to the drawing board for his mug.

Now I'll relax with a good book and rest up for another clay day tomorrow. Thank you all so much, Wendy
