Aloha everyone, hope all is well!
John, hope you're enjoying the Moai! Thanks again for supporting my art and sharing it with TC. Hope you had a great anniversary trip to da Big Island.
Thanks, Wendy! The tall one is three pieces that I threw on the wheel and put together.
As usual, I've been making lots of stuff and am too burned out to post it.

Some of my last projects have been to re-sculpt some of my sold, hand built pieces, so they're more mold friendly, and to cast them. This step-by-step isn't as complete as I would've liked, but I've already got the pictures uploaded, so here it goes.

First, is the original piece that I re-sculpted. It's one of the pieces going to the Polynesian Resort in Florida.









His name is Birdman 2. There's also a Birdman 1 and Birdman 3, so I guess it'll be a series.

I also wrote an article about my "Nuka Hiva" coconut mugs, with step-by-step pics of all the work that goes into them. If you're not familiar with the potter's wheel, I think you'll find it interesting.
