VampiressRN thank you always.

RVICTOR I'm so glad that Jen asked that they both trusted me to do it to look like his art.

JenTiki you are skipping a whole step of torture. First it has dry without cracking. Oh wait and don't forget it has to survive the bisque fire where it could expload!!! Then does the glaze stay in place or run. No screw ups allowed.

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

Wish List #6 update.

The next project is for slowhandtikiman. He requested and RVICTOR aka RVtiki approved the making of another couple of the Sven's Tiki Modern mug. I made a 1/1 for RVICTOR so I had to ask if I could do a #2 and #3 with his name also on the bottom.

Here's the first one I've made.

I started with a couple of my fogcutter mugs. I added sticky clay. That's the clay I've cut off the tops of cast mugs and bowls and then covered with a thin layer of slip.

I kept adding and smoothing until

I had made these two. I let them rest in plastic for a couple of days to firm up.

Here is the drawing that RVICTOR did for the last Wish List. I used the end of a brush and drew the outline in the clay.

I started carving out areas and I built up the nose. The two I'm doing now will not be an exact match to the first one because it needs to remain a 1/1. Even the colors may vary.

I added the lines in which I'd carve the tapa designs on one side.

All done and

posing.

One down and one to go. Wendy
