hang10tiki my aim is to have you say that about your wishes when they are done. Thank you.

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

Wish List #7 progress report.

I have started cleaning up some of the casts and after a few days I had these done.

I cast and cleaned up some of the Frankoma tikis for bowls on the Wish List.

I cast a few more of the run of 100 of the crawl mug for 2016. This one is for Heath.

I hand build the tops.

It is set aside to slowly dry in and out of a plastic bag. This will be a purple pineapple for his wife.

I cast a couple of HUGE Maori Lamps but I didn't have any wishes for them so I'll experiment with them.

I cleaned it up and

started carving the sides.

I decided to add to the eyes. The shadow makes one look tipped back. It isn't. I will do special glazing and detailing with glaze on the body.

The rest I carved.

I place a hole at the bottom for the chord.

I build a removable lid for the top. This makes adding the lamp parts easy.

Everything I do right now is getting me ahead since I wasn't going to start until the end of December.
It's fun just doing this and that right now.

Thank you for being here, Wendy
