First off thank you for your artistic renderings of what you wanted your mug to look like were excellent. I did my best to copy them but there have been changes. Some I didn't notice until today. Example the E-Ticket is leaning the opposite direction. Some things I couldn't do such as add the thumbs, they are hiding behind the ticket. So here are the steps I took during five days to make your Bob. As you all can see from these photos TikiWahini is an artist. She did these excellent drawings of the mug she wanted made. When Bullet/kingstiedye heard I was going to make a Rat Fink he brought over some models. I started to work on Bob Fink and NY Yankee Bob's hats on the same day. I started by casting two Christmas Ornaments as bases and then built them up from there. I started from the bottom up. First the tail and then the Bob Fink initials. With the initials in place I started on the adorable face. I used to carve Rat Finks into bars of soap when I was in the 6th grade. I made the eyelids and then the eyeballs. Clay is very sticky and it's hard to make small things stick and at the same time let go of fingers and tools. So I start with a bar of teeth and then one by one press between then and then use a brush to smooth and close the gaps. Now I leave this area and move back to work on the tail. The front is mostly done. I had not yet noticed that the tongue was too short. Now for the E-ticket being held behind his back. As I centered the hands I found the tail was not in the correct place so I chopped it off and moved it. Now it was time to work on the Mickey Mouse hat. I make keys and locks so that the pieces fit together rather than are just stuck on. I cut the locks and stuck in the keys. So now the ears are stable and the hat is ready to dry for awhile. E-ticket and fingernails. Disneyland on the hat. I hope it's close enough. Showing off his new long tongue. Backside. His name on the bottom. He is now drying until it's time to sand and fine tune the lettering. I'm looking forward to hearing from you all and from TikiWahini. Cheers, Wendy
