LoriLovesTiki I'm going to "save" the broken one so it will be fun to compare them.

Wish List #6 Update

The next Wish came from Joshua Bell. His idea was so cool. He said that no one has made a mug based on how the Tiki Bob pole in San Francisco looks today. So why not replicate it.

So the mug will be glazed in this green with the face a slightly lighter shade. I hope I can find just the right glazes.

I started the mug by getting out one of my tall Bobs.

Then I took a fogcutter mug and cut it in half keeping the top part to use.

I put sticky clay on the top of the fogcutter mug and then cut off the bottom of the Bob mug. This is a building blocks game.

I stuck them together and smoothed the clay.

Looking inside you can see the seam.

I used this sponge on a long stick to smooth it somewhat and to push out any air bubbles in the clay.

Next I made a bottom for the tall mug.

The classic Tiki Bob mug doesn't look like this pole.

The next part will be to re-do the face to match the pole. Cheers, Wendy
