Good Saturday Morning Tiki Friends. I've been working on the Swap Painting today. Here's my progress.

I guess I'm not trying hard enough, all my photos are washed out with light. Oh well.

I finished off the flowers and blocked in the tiki with blue paint.

Drew him with silver and then

started layering in the paint.

I stared adding more colors to the head and eyes.

Next came yellow, gray and beige.

My work space.

Stopping here for awhile.

Closer up.

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

It was fun to log onto facebook and have one of the banks I sculpted be an "inspiration". Ha Ha. It was fun to have it be there.

Last night I tried to take a photo of the moon but it was so bright that you couldn't see it. I just remembered what to do, a Tiki Hula tip, but now it's too late.

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

I got out my Moko book to look up some more designs for Tiki Bob. This one is spears and fish scales.

I started by carving in some rows for the designs.

All the way around.

Spears.

Fish scales.

I finished off filling all the rows and then

I choose a design for the rest of the mug.

All done and posing.

A photo without the flash shows the carving is deep.

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

That's all for my Saturday posting. Now it's time to do the laundry! Cheers, Wendy
