Jon, ha. Now I'm thirsty too- Wendy, thanks for checking in! A certain Tiki Tavarua made a request for another pendant for use during Tiki Oasis (or maybe we came up with the idea at the same time at the Bali Hai- there were some Zombies involved), but it seemed like a good idea. The original "SD Ohana" stamp, made of bisqued clay, cracked due to my lack of attention to detail, so I went with a (hopefully) longer lasting production solution (a rubber stamp). I drew out a design, scanned it, then added some text and sent it out to be made into a stamp. It looks like this: Then I stamped out a few more, using corn starch so the clay wouldn't stick to the stamp too much..... (that's the white stuff). These are just under 3" tall, and pretty thin. Each one is trimmed a big different to make each one completely unique. I left a bit of room above the moai's head to figure out the best way to attach it to a cord.... Muchos mahalos for the visit! |
