Back in college I had a friend doing research on skunks. Every night he tracked them along the American River and every day he was sent to sit in a back corner of the classroom because he stunk from being sprayed. I was doing Oxygen Acetylene torch welding as a hobby back then and I made him a metal belt that said STINKY on it with a little skunk. ATP you brought back a memory from decades past. ================================ Wish List #6 progress report. Oh No they are monkeys and not tikis! Will I hear about this? These projects are special because the man Kenneth Graham McNeil has gotten engaged and wanted mugs of himself and his love. He wanted them based on a painting and a drawing done for him by zerostreet. On the back of each mug he wanted something to resemble the Enchanted Tiki Hut at Disneyland. One more request is that the woman have on lots of jewelry. I'm not carving the Hawaiian patterns into the dress and shirt but they will have a Hawaiian pattern when I glaze them. This is the first time I've sculpted these primates. I hope I got it right. Here's how I did the front of the first mug. That's a drawing by zerostreet. I just keep adding clay to build up each part until it starts to look close to the drawing. Eyes done. I think I made her look happier rather than thoughtful. I make lots of tiny parts. This is her hand. Attached with more "bling". She's done and tomorrow I'll show the backside. PS there are monkeys in Hawaii. I saw them in zoo's in Oahu and on the Big Island!
