hang10tiki you too!

Tyber Tiki Rasta Bob was a lot of fun to sculpt. Glazing that fellow is going to be a bigger challenge.
I'm so happy you like having a choice. There are differences. One has the club plain while one has it carved with designs. Just small things.

TikiAno this is why I do the Wish Lists. I never would have come up with a Rasta Bob. I'm so happy you are going to take over cleaning the floors for Maya. Tiki Ari likes that too. You are so cute.

Beachbumz thank you for making me blush, it's good for my skin.
I bet your mug will have a ukulele? I'm looking forward to seeing that.
I'll tell Dan about the beard. We are enjoying seeing how his has such patterns.
If only his head had some white hairs it would all match.
The best photos we took were with you two men. What a treat to visit you.

Thank you everyone. Waking up to mail is a treat and it starts me day off energized. You are all so nice and I appreciate it very much.

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

Wish List #5. Tyber Tiki they are both done now. At the bottom I have put them together so you could easily figure out which one you would like to have.

Here I have added the side doodads.

The next day I was able to carve them.

This shows the one hand carved and the other carved and cleaned with water on a brush. For this fellow I added eyeballs.

I've begun the carving. One area at a time.

All done all the way around.

I put a hole in the top for the fixture.

Once it is dry I will sand it down to fit. I will also carve a hole in the back for the chord.

Whichever one is not chosen by Tyber Tiki it will become Dan's for his work in helping me do ceramics. He does all the outdoor cleanup rain or shine.

Dan's will be a lamp. I had to figure out how to do this so I decided to carve a top.

It will shrink as it dries so I made it larger than the tiki because the tiki is already dry.

Comparison photos for Tyber Tiki.

Tyber Tiki if you need close ups of any area to help you decide let me know.

Back to work! Wendy
