hang10tiki I need to let Lynn know her mug is in the works. I saw the Heat Attack Grill on the news and of course Dan wants to go there. I'll have to hold him back.

TikiHula I backed up 5 times on the other around the volcano road. I was lucky it wasn't too far back.
They had pruned those trees when we arrived and even had chain ropes around them so you couldn't get close. There were only a few blossoms and no scent. You must have been there at the right time.

Visting hang10tiki and his wife SewTiki is So much FUN.

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

Heeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeee'sssssssssssssssssss Mike aka Tiki Hula visiting me while I work on clay.

Tiki Wahine's Rasta Bob based on Bob Marley continues on with my making his dreadlocks.

After they are in place I go back with this tool to undercut to round them again.

I finished attaching them on the back and then

I let them firm up overnight in a plastic bag.

Now that the had and mug are not so sticky I tried on the hat and found that it was much too small.

I dug out some of the clay inside because if it's too thick it will crack.

I also started indenting around the bottom so that it will fit the top of the mug. I also added dreds to the sides of his head.

NOw it's the right size and Rasta Bob is modeling his new hat.

There's lots more to this mug and I'll post those photos tomorrow. Cheers, Wendy
