Another cyber shopping day for some. We finished last month by mailing out money. It's so easy and the kids love money.

I spent yesterday working on the MadDogMike Swap painting. Inspired by a favorite Hawaiian Shirt. I'm just turning the print into a painting. Copying has it's flaws, well no, I have flaws. Here's how it's been going so far.

Shirt is on the left, my painting is on the right.

I go back and add black to make it match better at the coast.

I got this far when I noticed I was missing an entire palm tree.

Time to use some water to erase what I'd done.

The start of the tiki was in the wrong place too.

It took a couple of hours to paint erase and paint again. I'll have to concentrate harder the next time.

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

In one of my books I found this design. I thought a bolder carving size on Tiki Bob would look good so that's what I did.

All done and posing.

I'm looking forward to doing designs and add on's to the new Fogcutter mugs I've cast. But first I'll finish playing with Bob and doing the Wish List #5 projects along with the Swap painting. No wonder I'm not traveling south this month.

Cheers, it's good to be busy, Wendy
