LoriLovesTiki thank you. Oh darn, I left off the stinger!

littlegiles that reminds me I have a ticket to check. When I get on Tiki Central and find that someone took the time to write a note here I feel like I won. Thank you.

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

Here are a few more creations that I made a few weeks back.

Tiki Hula will be here in a few hours. On one of his last visits he asked if his Sacramento Crawl mug could have an addition.
Since he was here to oversee the work I granted his Wish. He and Dan poured mugs on that day.

I made a disk of sticky clay and cut it in half.

I attached half of the disk and poked in my thumb to make a fire pocket.

I added some slip to make some extra soft sticky clay.

I ran this clay around the bottoms of each pocket to give them more strength.

His modified crawl mug is drying with the rest. One day it will have dual flames.

I ran out of my sea creature necklaces so I cast a few and cleaned them up.

It's time to do some projects with my Moai cast. I cleaned one up and cleaned up a wide bowl.

After that I tuned the bowl over and put the Moai on the bottom and outlined it with a tool.

Next I cut out a section of clay within that outline using my label scrapper.

All done. I left it deep at the top so that this bowl has a natural opening for a hanger if it goes on the wall.

I put sticky clay all over the back edge of the Moai and pressed him down over the opening.

I used a brush to remove the excess clay.

Sealed to the bottom of the bowl it was OK to

turn it over and to spread around the clay inside the opening.

Now I turned it back over and used sand paper to add texture to the Moai.

I also used this new tool.

Using this same tool I ran it around the outside of the bowl over and over again to add texture.

Done.

Now it was ready to dry.

Wishing you all a fun weekend with family and friends, Wendy
