hang10tiki I better show you his mouth then.

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

Wish List #7 more steps for the Shark Attack Hula Girl for Jamie Sterling.

I worked on the opening and eventually I will pop the balloon. I added the top of the dorsal fin. If dorsal isn't right then it's the top one.

I want to get the teeth right so I looked at photos of real sharks.

Now I cut the opening to the mouth leaving clay at the top and bottom to use for the teeth. At this point I was able to put my hand inside and to smooth the clay at the inside top right under the nose.

Looking at a real shark caused me to go back further on the sides.

I cleaned up a Hot Tub Hula Girl and fixed the shark lips.

I did a magic trick and cut the girl in half. Now I had to fit her into the mouth.

It's so wonderful when your measurements are right. Then I began to cut out the teeth.

All done.

Now I checked the mug against the drawing by Theo Stool.

Nighttime.

Now I popped the balloon.

Tomorrow I'll show what to do if your mug starts to collapse due to the weight at the top. Cheers, Wendy
