Tiki Hula, that's a first for me. I have my cat as my wallpaper and so does Dan.

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

More steps for the Hot Tub Hula Girls #61 - #90.

Now that the girls and the coconuts were prepped it was time to assemble them together. I added sticky clay to the bottom of the girls legs and also some slip to the bottom of the coconut. Then I pressed her into place. I also carved in the 3 dents into the coconut.

For these girls I remove the hands and smooth the area.

Next I start to add clay to build hair. It will cover her hand areas and

fall down the back of the coconut.

Next I carve the detail into the coconut.

I did a couple a day and when one was done

I put it into an OPEN plastic bag on a shelf in the garage to slowly dry. This will prevent cracking.

Eventually all of them made it into the garage. As I've said there is a lot of rotation and walking and carrying each piece of ceramics.
More steps in the process and more steps I take when it's time to continue on.

Cheers, Wendy
