I have a few things to post first. Capt'n Skully I do plan to experiment with glazes on the mugs that are not already purchased. I hope to find some fun things to mix together. little lost tiki oh no! I busted them before I read your message. Oh well, I will have more molds in the future. I've broken and ankle and walked on it at Tiki Oasis a few years ago before being ordered into a brace and crutches. I sure hope your ankle isn't worse than you know. Xrays are a good thing to have. I did miss your hugs at Marketplace. Big Toe gave me one from you and I gave you one back from him. Please collect it! I've been enjoying your art of facebook, don't you need to catch up here again? Time for you to create a Space themed painting for Tiki Oasis. I'm working on a ceramic I'll share here when it's further ahead. I'm smiling at you right now. ================================== This was a terrific batch of messages. Thank you all you made my day. ================================== Phase Two of attacking and smashing molds but also saving some of the parts. I was about to smash the molds from last years Albert's Tiki Village when I realized that I could alter them so that I could use them again. I have two of these coconut mugs. I used a rounded chisel to remove the raised parts that said Sacramento CA. This side had the tiki and more words but I managed to remove those too. Now I have two large molds for coconut mug blanks. They will be fun to play with. The last mold to break were the 2012 Sacramento Crawl mug molds. They had a hula girl and Hawaiian Hut on the front and a real hut with palms on the back. It really is fun to whack them. One or two strikes on each and they were destroyed. All done. =================================== The Brotherhood of the Blue Bob that I showed yesterday needed a tiki so I added a Moai. It's just roughed out here in very soft clay. =================================== For a long time I had this Tiki Bob alteration in mind. I finally did it. Dan named it Curley Q Bob. I just started adding clay. I kept going until I made these designs all the way around. I let it sit in a plastic bag for a couple of days and then I started fine tuning the swirls. Then I roughed up the flat parts. All done and posing. Just a bit of the clay I removed during the fine tuning. Think Bob's ok with his new do? Or is it doo? ======================================= Cheers, Wendy [ Edited by: danlovestikis 2015-03-17 21:58 ]
