hang10tiki Dan loved your latest creation. So did I. It would be fun to make a mugs mug like that.

TikiAno how is Tiki Ari and Maya doing? Yes the little Tiki Bob is a hollow mug made on my finger.

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

Here are a couple of Tiki Hunting trips that Dan and I went on that were within an hour of our home.

On the first day of treasure hunting we went to Claim Jumpers in Roseville and found the best tasting buffet brunch we have ever been too. That was last Sunday.

At the Treasure Trove we spotted these statues but Dan's only looking for tikis.

He passed on the cute drink dispenser.

We found the same walking stick as last time but since we have one he passed on this as well.

He did find a new plate with the Place Of Refuge tikis on it so that went home with us.

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

Two Days later we headed past Roseville to Lincoln and Loomis.

The fall colors were finally in play.

I found a carved wooden bird that I brought home.

We found a beautiful nursery and I posed for this photo

and Dan showed off his new hat.

A tiki free zone but we had fun anyway.

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

Am I having way too much fun with Tiki Bob? It's fun doing these and relaxing as I get closer to opening Wish List #5.

I'm converting Tiki Bob into a peanut mug. First the top rim.

Eyes and forehead.

Under his nose.

Adding on the ears.

Cleaning his ears with a wet brush.

Finished the face and ear carvings.

Hands and arms built up with sticky clay.

All done and posing.

Close up's with a flash, Bob will always pose for another photo. He's a ham.

What do you think? Are you tired of Tiki Bob? I still have ideas for him to execute. Cheers, Wendy

PS I'm going to work on the Hawaiian Shirt Swap soon.

I took a photo of Dan's shirt and printed it. Now his shirt has been returned to the closet. This will be my inspiration for the painting.
