hang10tiki I think Dan was having a good time until I spun the mug on my turntable.

TikiAno ahhhh, thank you.

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

Wish List #5 sculpting maybe finished but it depends on whether or not IDoVooDoo likes the sculpt the way I have done it.

Here comes all my trials and tribulations with this mug. Basically it was the TORTURE that was hard.

First I sculpted the word TIKI and attached it to the coconut mug.

Then I started the word TORTURE and noticed that it was too large and wasn't going to fit.

So I made it smaller but then I noticed it wasn't the right distance from the flower.

So I moved it over. Now I saw the the E wasn't going to show up well enough so

I removed all the letters again! TORTURE.

I took a TORTURE break and added some leaves to the TIKI word.

I took a look at the flower and then

I started again. I didn't put the word in one straight line and I added more leaves. This way the whole word shows.
If I were carving in the letters it would have been easy but these letters are going to be made to look like bamboo when they firm up.

Now it was time to detail the octopus to make it look more like the tattoo.

At the bottom is Bamboo Bar.

Next I turned the rest of the mug into a coconut texture and the lettering into bamboo.

But first I left the mug to rest overnight.

The rest is done and ready for inspection. IDoVooDoo how did I Do? Please let me know if you want any parts changed and I'll get back to work.

I'm ready to be TORTURED again! Wendy
