hang10tiki well thank you and what does that make Dan? I will continue to work to resemble that remark!

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

Another Wish List #5 progress report.

RVICTOR requested a mug that looked similar to the Tiki Modern book cover. He drew a beautiful picture of the mug for me to use as a guide. Sven I hope you like it.

Earlier this summer I carved and molded three new fogcutter shapes. From these I can make a lot of requested designs.
RVICTORS will be the first time I have cast and used one.

I started by adding clay where the face will be placed.

I smoothed and sharpened it up. Next it sat in plastic to firm up for several days until I could carve it.

Using the drawing I started with the eyes then

the nostrils and

then the mouth.

Next I did the lip designs.

I checked it against the RVICTOR drawing.

Used a flash for this one and

for the side view.

Now I started carving the tapa.

I did some of it while the mug was upside down.

Getting closer.

Done and Posing.

I told RVICTOR that the drawing could be done in a couple of ways. I told him that I would do one and if it didn't meet his expectations that Dan would be happy to take it and I would start again with his tweaks.

RVICTOR please check it over and let me know if you had ideas that I missed or if this is the mug you want.

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

Look what I found at Goodwill for $0.97. I love to pet him. My cat likes her back scratched with the beak.

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

5 days until Christmas. Cheers, Wendy
