Thank you all so much for your comments. This is what makes my days so special. I appreciate everyone who looks at or comments on my thread. We live the tiki life.

I am so happy with my decision to make the sculpture of the Maori lamp blank so that each one will be carved in a unique way keeping each one a 1/1 design. I already have one ordered for Wish List #6. I've started the order binder but the projects won't start until the end of this year. Too many projects underway right now.

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

Wish List #5 progress report.

First up is Johnny Velvet's supercarved Tiki Bob.

There was some leaching of brown onto the chin. I had this problem a lot this time around. I'm not sure if it can be fixed but I'm going to try. If I can't fix it I will discount the mug.

Next up is hang10tikis two Tiki Bob's. One holding a coconut and

one holding a Tiki Bob.

More than one leached spot on these two Bob's. I have work to do to see if I can fix them or not.

Next up is LoriLoveTiki's Tiki Bob.

One after the next I have Tiki Bob's needing help. Even the black of the eyes spread out a bit on this mug.

Now for IDoVooDoo's Snake Charmer bowl. I haven't yet painted on the face because this has an area to be re-glazed too.

One thin area of glaze. This is an easy fix.

If my glazes had behaved I'd be shipping like crazy. Instead I'll be fine tuning these to see if I can fix them.
I'll try to put up the rest of the Wish List photos tomorrow. So if you haven't seen yours they will be here soon.
Just to name a few, Tiki Vato, RVICTOR, Wood Tiki, ebtiki, none of those need repairs.

Now it's time to go to work. Cheers, Wendy
