There are more to be posted. ============================================================================== Tiki Atari's project is coming along fine. With this last "Artists Choice" mug I've completed the sculpting portion. As soon as they dry I'll be sanding and fine tuning again before the bisque fireing. This is the mug I got to have fun with. I didn't want to take it too far away from Tiki Atari's original idea so I just added more detail. First step was to completely clean up the cast and to remove the background swirls and dents. After enhancing the butt cheek I added some seaweed and a small fish swimming away from the creature. I added another tentacle from behind the creature and wreckage. Once it firmed up I carved around each tentacle and then I smoothed it and added the holes. I added some stars because this will be a night scene like DooWops creature mug. All done. There are other enhancements so I took a lot of photos to share. This is more of a lake scene than an ocean scene. 23 days and 23 mugs have been made. When they are completely dry it will be time to bisque fire. Thank you for the visit, Wendy
