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

Wish List #7 this is for David Nelms. He LOVES Tiki Bob and I've made more of them than I remember for him.

The Tiki Bob coconut bowl without adornments. Here are the steps.

I cast and cleaned up a coconut bowl.

I cast four Tiki Bob's

I cleaned each one top to bottom.

One by one I cut the back until it fit the bowl.

Then I cleaned up the cut out area and added sticky clay.

I pressed them into the bowl.

I used my thumb to remove the excess clay.

Where my thumb didn't fit I used a wet paper towel to smooth it. Top and bottom.

I carved in the coconut texture on the bowl.

Then I carved the texture onto each of the Tiki Bob's.

I used a wet brush to "sand" the carvings smooth.

All done and posing.

It's great to be where I see the end of sculpting approaching. Two of the last projects will be the most challenging. I'm going to spend all weekend working to see what I can accomplish. Wish me luck, Wendy
