Joshua Bell I happy to hear that you like it.

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

Wish List #6 continues on with the last RVICTOR aka RVtiki Tiki Modern mug for Theo Stool.

Each of these mugs are built from scratch. I start with a cast of one of my fogcutter mugs and then I add clay to make a v shaped face.

Each time I do a face I try to carve it using different step by steps. It doesn't seem to get any faster.

Here I'm building up the mouth.

Side view.

Otto mentioned that it looks like a Tiki Bob variation and in this shape rather than the round shape on the book it really does.

Here I've carved a line that separates the two sides. I've also begun to remove clay from the face in sections.

slowhandtikiman had mentioned that one change I could do would be to do the tapa on the opposite side. I forgot to do that on his so I've done it for Theo.

Here is the plain side.

The tapa is finished.

Full side without a flash.

Full side with the flash.

On the bottom of each of these mugs I've added RVtiki to give credit for the design to RVICTOR.

It all started with RVICTOR's wish for the first mug to be made. He took this photo when the mug arrived at his home.

Thank you RVICTOR for letting me make this great mug which is also a design on Sven Kirsten's Tiki Modern book.

This was the last one on the Wish List so now on to the next Wish. Cheers, Wendy

PS if you would like to see the adventours of Theo Stool friend him on facebook. That stool has been in some famous hands and also some great places.
