lunavideogames I love photos of owners with my mugs. I never get to see enough of those kinds of photos. Please do post some.

littlegiles thank you it was a challenge. Gecko has made some beautiful full size mugs with these two tikis. $650 a pair.

Moai Mike when I added all those rocks it did grow to huge proportions. You'll build muscles if you ever drink from it. I'll want a photo of that for this thread!

hang10tiki he is just such a cutie. Thanks for helping him out.

Chippy it's fun seeing your posts of your Tiki Bob collection on facebook. I tried to copy one of your photos and it blocked the "steal". Maybe you could post a photos here, hint hint.

VampiressRN he resembled that remark.

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

Today we will not leave the house for any reason. We will work tiki starting as soon as I finish this post until the sun sets in the East. Tricky I meant West.

Here's the photo of the finished Viking Bob mug.

I took the advice of:

Littlegiles by adding beard and shield

kingstiedye by adding a ponytail

tiki Ano by using a metal glaze in the future.

and I ask Chippy should that hair and beard be blond?

First I needed to finish off the hat. I used my scrapper to flatten the surfaces and to reduce them to make enough space for glaze.

Next I carved out the clay from the inside of the helmet so that it wouldn't crack.

I smoothed the inside with a wet brush.

I carved a straw hole.

All done with the additions suggested by my friends.

Does he pass inspection and will he be added to the fighting clan?

Cheers, Wendy
