hang10tiki and that's with it empty. Drink and get a workout at the same time.

RVICTOR thank you for your patience and comment. I want to keep these Homer photos close together. Yours will come up when I finish.

VampiressRN I would love to make one of the boy king.

LoriLovesTiki the mug was huge. I don't know what I was thinking. My client was very happy with the size so it worked out.
I've know Jeffery and Lori for many years. The fact that I don't call him Jeff stopped me from thinking about the similarity.

hang10tiki Vamp has an Egyptian master bedroom and so do we. When we met for the first time it was a surprise to see that there were two homes that were tiki and Egyptian. We sure hope to see you two.

===========================================
Next up for the Home Simpson mug was to add the logo to the back of the mug. Copying is such a hard thing to do.

First I added a layer of clay. This time the letters needed to stand out.

I printed the photo of the word until I had it in the right size for the back of the mug.

I cut the added clay to the right size and

then I pressed the paper in place.

I used a razor blade and a lot of different tools to remove the excess clay.

I had to go slow so that the paper didn't move skewing the letters into new shapes.

Once I had the basic outline down I removed the paper.

All the paper has been removed here.

I sat back to see if it looked OK.

Now I used wet paint brushes to smooth the letters.

Now it's all done and that was a relief.

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

Thank you for watching the progress in the making of this 1/1 prototype. Wendy
