Professor G I see your super carved blue palm Tiki Bob posted as a photo more times than any other thing I've ever made. So I am so excited to think of a photo with these three together. I'm so happy you like them. I've improved with practice. IDoVoodoo I'm so happy. Soon you'll see what I did with your coconut mug design. Fingers crossed. hang10tiki when the storm of the century was coming we lay it on its side to protect it. When Dan picked it up he did it from the top of its head and it snapped in half. We didn't win trying to be safe. The storm wasn't much either. You two men may be the only ones with those necklaces. Dan hung some on the wall. A bear would be nice. I was a tour guide in Yellowstone National Park. Yep, soon Dan will catch up to me and we'll be the same age again. TikiAno I have Tiki Ari's face memorized. When I don't see you here I know where and what you are doing for fun. They don't stay little for very long. The small paint brush for between the rocks and a large one for running over the whole mug. RVICTOR we go to the Oregon Coast once a year. My sister and some of her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren live there and we go visit. See hang10tikis post that the phone number has been disconnected. Maybe they just changed it. Too bad because the Sunset article would have helped them with business. Last summer we stopped at Cannon Beach and found a dozen bunnies running around. See the little specks at the base of the building, those are all bunnies. =================================================== Wish List #5 progress report. kingstiedye aka Bullet your time has finally arrived. His request was for a Frankin Fink copied from a now defunct companies toy and the hands of another Fink. I was happy that this would require another version of my new Fogcutter mugs. So I cast the one with only a rim at the bottom. I started by attaching clay for the rocky platform. I added slip to the clay as glue and pressed the mug into place. I turned it over and smoothed and added more clay to fix it. Upright again I began to add more and more clay. Next I added a belly and a foot. Side view. Now another foot has been added. I formed a head and covered the back with slip. I pressed it into place. Now he's starting to look like a something or other. Next I started building up the trench coat. Since he's a mug I needed to make the coat go clear to the ground. This is the backside. This actually took a couple of days. Between steps the clay must be allowed to firm up or you end up with a mess. More photos on the way. Cheers, Wendy
