TikiAno what is the origin of your name? I've done fusing with glaze one time on a volcano that is now in Tiki Hula's collection.

hang10tiki aren't they so cute?

Tiki Hula we are missing you today and will miss you tomorrow. Next visit will be at Chris and Karen's. I'll call with a time.

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

There were a lot of baseball fans who wrote when I posted dartharnies Yankee mug and that was fun. Here comes his other two wishes. One for each of his daughters. They designed their bowls and then I did a bit more.

These may not be tiki but at least I'm sharing steps for working clay.

For the girls bowls I cast two cannibal bowls and then cut them to the desired height.

To do the names I used this wood tool to carve into the clay.

Two of her favorite things are dolphins/porpoises

and butterflies. She is 4 years old.

dartharnies 8 year old is a fan of Harry Potter and

wanted his crest inside the bowl. My trick is to print it in the right size and then to outline it in the clay.

I sealed it in with sticky clay. This one is scary for air bubbles.

Looking at the picture I worked on detail.

She makes wands for herself and for friends so I added this to the back of the bowl.

dartharnie will they be happy with these?

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

For all of you waiting on your Wish List items to show up, they will I promise. I'm close to finishing the sculpts on all the Wish List orders. Then begins the sanding.

Meanwhile tomorrow we will be making a mold again. We start at 8 am. If you live in the area and want to watch just come on by the house. We'll be in the garage.

Cheers, Wendy
