After looking at the photo I chose...And after looking at all the Disney mugs out there...I decided to stick with ceramics as a medium so that I could try making a chalice. Because what is more enchanting that drinking from a chalice? So, working with the photo I posted earlier, here is the progress as of this morning. I used a piece of plastic tubing to form the cylindrical base and attached a slip cast tumbler to the top. The trim base and the sign/nameplate are built slabs. I had already carved the tiki face and decided to made a mold so that the masks all looked the same. Again, I attached the masks as slab build ups. Going to let it get to leather hard now and start carving designs on it to tie in other elements of the photo. I need to get this one done as it takes me a long time to finish these out.
