LoriLovesTikis I could read messages like that all day long and never get bored! Thank you.

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

Wish List #5 Progress Report on Tyber Tiki's HUGE Maori mug/lamp.

There are a lot of steps to making this Wish come true. After making the cylinder shape it was time to form
the flat panel for the surface where the tiki goes.

I just stared adding clay and

then smoothing clay.

Since I am making the tiki the same size as the photo I used it to place the second corner.

I added more clay and then

I smoothed it too.

After an examination I found that it was curved so I added a whole layer of clay

and smoothed it and

added and smoothed again.

I turned it over and smoothed the bottom.

Another step ahead is a really good feeling. Cheers and Happy New Year. Wendy and Dan
