TikiHula my camera's battery had just quit when Gene Simmons in full Kiss outfit and his body guard walked past us at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. You can imagine how upset I was that I missed that photo op.

See you on Sunday. We can modify your crawl mug and fix the top of your AL DEAD bowl.

littlegiles maybe...maybe not.

hang10tiki that's the guy alright. I think his tongue is smaller!

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

I found the rest of the photos in another file.

Now the head was firmer from sitting in the bag overnight and it was ready to carve. This also prevents cracking.

I shortened the teeth and did the Moko carving.

He got some hair too.

All done.

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

I had a few Bob's to use up so I started one with a hat.

This sat over night without a bag because the clay was mush.

The next day I was able to pick it up. I carved it until it would fit in the top of the mug.

Dan loves the new TV show the Vikings so I decided to make a Viking's Bob. I made a bunch of parts

and begun to stick them on the mug.

I made Bob mean.

I enlarged the size of the hat to cover the top of the mug. Then I used the lock and key method to add the horns.

Using water I smoothed the hat and Viking Bob.

I didn't push the helmet into place because it's too wet and would stick

but you can get an idea from the photos.

I still need to carve fingernails on Bob's fingers. Any other suggestions???

Cheers, Wendy

PS update on the Wish List #4 tomorrow
