Tiki Ano I wish Dan and I looked as good in our selfie as the tiki does. How about a Tiki Ari update?

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

Progress report and Step by Steps for kingstiedye designed Wish based on Dave Burke's art called DEATH TIKI.

This first photo is a sneak peek at kingstiedye other request and on the right is Munktiki's version of the David Burke mug that designed and I'm making for him now.

This is a side view of one of the legs.

I had built the tikis left knee and

here's the right one finished.

I started with the arms and

then enlarged the chest. The top of the head is started and I'll continue to add clay until it's just right.

Next the first piece of the head has added.

Side view.

Each time I added a slab of clay I had to add small connective pieces.

All the way around the top until

I had the head covered. If an air bubble is trapped under this flap this tiki is going to blow up in the kiln.

Now this one sits overnight to firm up. Right now the clay is limp.

I really enjoy the Wish List projects. Thank you all for using my hands. Idle hands get into trouble and we wouldn't want that!

Cheers, Wendy
