I need you to send me a photo of the angle of the building you want on the mug. All this applies unless you have changed your request. Dan is a wonderful resource for critiques. I might have ended up with the artichoke if he hadn't been available. ============================== SACRAMENTO CRAWL MUG 2016 THE FIRST SET OF PHOTOS CHRONICLED THE FIRST WEEKS WORK. THESE PHOTOS SHOW THE SECOND WEEK. ROMO CLAY IS HARD ENOUGH TO CARVE WITH CHISELS AND SO IT TAKE A LOT OF PHYSICAL STRENGTH TO MOVE IT INTO PLACE. SO AFTER THE CRITIQUE I START TO WORK TO MAKE IT LESS AN ARTICHOKE. FIRST I CUT BACK THE NECK AND ADDED TINY LEAVES. NEXT I CARVED IN THE NAME OF THE TIKI BAR/RESTAURANT. THIS TIME I CRITIQUED IT MYSELF AND MY CRITIKI SAID THIS LOOKS LIKE GARBAGE. EVEN THE LETTERING WAS OFF. SLASH IT WITH THE KNIFE. SLASH IT AGAIN. SCRAPE THE TOP. ADD ROMO CLAY. USE UP THE LEAVES TO BUILD UP THE BOTTOM. KEEP SMOOTHING. NOW I HAVE A SHAPE I CAN WORK WITH. I'M HAPPY AT LAST. CHEERS, WENDY
