hang10tiki hummmm should I make a Bob Lamb? That could be really cute.

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

Election Day is here. We voted so long ago that this has been a long wait.

Meanwhile as soon as I finished boxing all the Sacramento Crawl mugs I began to cast items for Wish List #7. That way when I start a project I can just pull what I need from what I've already cast. Then whatever is left over becomes extras that I sell or Mahalo Tiki sells. Either way I never waste a thing.

I also consider the time between the crawl and the end of the year my play time. If I get started on a Wish List project then that's even better.

Here's some of what I've done starting 9/24/16

I began by casting bowls. These are used for a whole lot of projects from the Hot Tub Hula Girls to Frankoma small tiki bowls.

I store them upside down so that they don't settle and lose their shape.

This will be a cannibal bowl.

I decided to destroy one of the two Zombie Torch mug molds. These two pieces went into the garbage can.

The piece with the zombie I saved. For a very long time I have wanted to make large necklaces and wall hangings with this guy. I started by building a clay dam to hold in the slip.

I poured it in.

Two hours later I poured out the excess slip.

A few hours later I was able to remove it from the mold.

For 13 days I cast one per day. Here I am using the tool that Tiki Ano gave me to add detail. Thank you Tiki Ano it's works really well.

To this one I carved stones.

To each backside I added a bar so that it can hang on a wall or have a neck chord added.

I varied how I cast them so that they would each be a bit different.

Now they will dry slowly over time. Thank you for the visit, Wendy
