Thank you all for the views. I keep posting even when there are no comments because I know I have visitors.

Mahalo Tiki aka Mary and Nelson put in a Wish for Wish List #7. Because I understand how long a run of mugs takes I stopped everything to make a sculpture for them so they could make a run of 100 mugs in time for Tiki Oasis 17.

They wanted a Tiki Bob Bomb for the theme of International Espionage.

So I went to work.

First I covered a styrophome ball with clay.

Then I drew Tiki Bob.

I sculpted him and took photos. He just didn't look right when made on a ball. Nelson and Mary agreed and I

cut Tiki Bob off of the bomb.

Back to the drawing board. I sent them a whole bunch of photos of vintage mugs. They found one they liked so I went back to work.

This was what they had in mind. It passed the test so

we met at On the Border and I handed it over.

They will do everything from this point on. I'll have the fun of seeing it at Tiki Oasis. They have a surprise in mind.

They will post the steps as they proceed and I'll grab them and post them here.

kingstiedye thinks this one should be named the Bora Bora Bomb. What do you think?

Cheers, Wendy
