Progress Report on lunavideogames wish which also became the Sacramento Crawl mug.

It was now time do do some design carvings. The entire time I am thinking of where the mold seams will be located. This will be a 5 piece mold. I used a wooden tool so that it would cut too deeply.

There are a lot of areas to work on so I just started and kept on going.

The seams will run down the corners. One side started in this photo.

The front is done. I took this photo to eliminate the top which is only to make an opening.

The next step is to make it look like stone. I took huge grained sandpaper and pressed it all over the tiki.

The design at the very top above the work Tahiti will be changed before I mold the mug. It didn't fit. I forgot to take a photo.

Now I have three things to mold. I wondered if I could do it all in one day. In the background of this photo you can see what Dan is making for breakfast.

Here it is all done. Brown rice, salsa and egg whites. Yum.

I hope lunavideogames wish is coming true and that everyone will like this as the 2017 Crawl mug. It all came together. Psycho Tiki D suggesting the Tahiti and lunavideogames wanting a Tahitian tiki mug for his bar. Having been to Tahiti this year was also a good reason for me to make this mug.

Like it?????????? Wendy
