hang10tiki thank you. It's really nice to know who is looking. I met many people at Tiki Oasis who said they watch but never comment. I wish they would. I always think of comments of my reward for spending time posting. You have rewarded me more times than I have pages. You are appreciated along with all the "you know whose".

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

First I saw these statues on the way to Davis, CA. They were in a trailer headed to Burning Man. Dan and I later saw them parked out in the desert near Reno, NV. Now I found this recent photo where they were taken to Lake Tahoe. They sure get around.

Polynesian Paddy has a spot in his back yard for his grandkids to play. I sent him a Tiki Bob to add to the fairy land.

Progress Report Wish List #6

Back to the Hot Tub Hula Girl mug

Just a recap. Before the girl is added to the coconut hot tub I add hair to her chest. That doesn't sound right.
How about I extend her hair longer in the front?

Then I add to her hair to extend it over the back of the tub and add some texture.

Then I carve all the detail into the coconut.

I made mugs 7 to 30. The first run was 1 to 6.

They have been drying for 2 weeks slowly under a plastic table cloth.

Now they are firmed up and I can add

all the carving to the bottom.

As I did each one I lined them up in the kitchen.

When I finished the bottoms I lay them on their sides to continue drying under the plastic table cloth. I cover and uncover all day long while I work on other projects.

The Wish List is not yet dented but I'm working hard on it.

Cheers, Wendy
