IDoVoodoo thank you that's fun.

JenTiki really? All I know of Jimmy Buffett is that there is a tropical bar on the Las Vegas strip. Really crowded and noisy.

TikiAno thank you. I'm enjoying watching him grow up on fb. How about finger paints? That would make a great video!

Wish List #6 progress report. Here comes the second Jimmy Buffett mug. I made them similar to keep them a set. He requested a plane and to bring tiki to Jimmy.

I examined the mug and choose the best place for the airplane. I made a large area that I could carve.

I made the Bali Hai tiki into a Moai.

I put the picture on top of the clay and

traced it with a stick.

Then I started to remove clay around the airplane and

carved it to match the best I could. Glazing will make it more 3D. Looking at these photos I can see where it needs tweaking.

I tried my best to match the lettering style found in his google posts.

Almost done and posing. I will go and work on a couple of spots on the plane and the foliage above the tikis head.

Here it comes again without a flash.

Here's the best part of the update. I have two major mugs to do and then 23 Hot Tub Hula Girls and then it will be time to glaze. I guess I should add to that a swap item. MadDogMike is getting another swap together and everyone should join in the fun and make some tiki art.

Cheers, Wendy
