hang10tiki I'm saving these up and I'm going to post them all on facebook right before Christmas. I'm not sending out any cards and so yours will be my posting of holiday cheer. Thank you so much, every day I look forward to seeing what you have done.

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

Wish List #7 the Sacramento Crawl mug and lunavideogames wish.

Little by little I am working on the sculpt. It will change right up until the day I make the mold.

I put Dan to work pounding out more clay so that I would have it for this tiki and then for part two if this passes Treg's (lunavideogames) inspection.

I had added a rim of clay around the base and then

I smoothed it.

Now while looking at the photo I just start adding and trimming and adjusting.

I use this label scrapper for every project.

You can see that the hands came and went. This constantly will change.

Here I'm making the tummy.

Now I'm adjusting the arm.

Adding the snakes that Dan made for me to make this taller.

This is something that takes a lot of time to get it right. Imagine the Tahitian's doin it in stone, or CY and hang10tiki doing it in wood!

Cheers, Wendy
