amate thank you so much. I didn't start tiki art until 10 years ago. You are going to pass me up in creativity really fast. Your last creation shows your talent.

hang10tiki thank you. I was hoping for a Rat Fink comment. See you at Oasis next summer if not sooner.

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

Wish List #6 progress report. I would say I'm working towards the end but then I remember the 23 Hot Tub Hula Girl wishes!

The next mug is made for a person who "wishes" to remain anonymous. Now that's funny. He is a tiki person.

He requested two mugs which I'll show over the next few days. Both were to reflect Jimmy Buffett's lifestyle. I googled some images and went to work.

I started with a Sacramento Crawl mug. I scraped off the sign so I could add new words.

It now says Cheeseburger in Paradise. I did as close as possible to their lettering and added the little palm on top.

Next I removed all the lines that were carved in and made a beach scene with sand, the ocean and a tall mountain.

Next I started to change the side. I added a classic Jimmy Buffet surf board.

I added their designs and then I scraped off the face on the tiki.

I carved Magaritaville into the sign at the top.

Now I needed to change the front. He requested a stack of cheeseburgers.

He's going to get them. Also Buffet likes parrots so I'm altering the toucan.

The foliage has changed and now there is a parrot.

Now I carved the cheeseburgers.

Done.

One down and one more to go. Thank you for the visits. Even when no one writes I know from the numbers that there have been visits. I appreciate them. Cheers, Wendy
