Did you survive that meal? How is the temperature each day? Say hi to Tavarua Tiki aka Chris for me. ================================ I decided to wait to post about the Sacramento Crawl mug until Tiki Caliente is over and all my friends have come home. So here are catch up photos. My lucky day. A plate of fish fell off the wall but was saved when it hooked on a seahorse! I would have been so sad if that had taken them both down. ================================= First I slammed my finger in a closet door. Not too bad. Then I forgot and knocked on my neighbors door. That did it in. Ice took away the swelling and I was still able to work clay. ================================= My hero. He does the home care so I can work the clay. ================================= Dan continues to be a bull in a china shop. Repairing things he's broken or mending things he bought that had chips is how this art career started. Here are the latest casualties and how I fixed them with the miracle Elmer's Wood Filler, sand paper and acrylic paint. He asked me to fix this batch and then after I started working... he came back with more! Elmer's shrinks a bit so a second coat is added then sanded when dry and then painted. There are two more repairs that were just placed on my table. They will have to wait. ========================================== I've heard artists say that the clay spoke to them. Well it finally happened. I looked over at this lump of drying discarded clay and it asked me to save it. I started to carve. I hollowed out the back to prevent cracking. Here is my little tiki spirit. ================================ I've run out of necklaces so I decided to make some more. ============================== Next I needed a few Moai wall hangings for our family room so we did those too. ======================================== Now I'm all caught up posting misc. projects. I might as well show our rescue cat. We have had here since 1999. She was Fluffy and we named her Sherry but she responds to kitty kitty kitty. That's all for now. I'm hoping hang10tiki will keep us up to date until he leave Tiki Caliente. Thank you hang10tiki. Cheers, Wendy
