HopeChest this is why I so the Wish List. It's so much fun to read these comments.

hang10tiki you wrote, "Another one hit out of the park" which is funny because the colors of the matchbook are the colors of his favorite team so
it's nostalgic two ways for him.

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

Wish List #7 this one is for Robyn part of the Sacramento Ohana. She loves mermaids, unicorns and glitter. She asked for a mermaid mug.

I started with the body. Looks similar to a banana I recently did on a Tiki Bob fruit bowl.

Then I worked on the head and chest.

I build the face with little pieces of clay that I work into place with a wet brush.

Next I did all of her floating underwater hair.

Then the seaweed at the bottom.

After I did all the 3D seaweed I went back and carved into the mug some more.

The easiest way to do small things or letters is to put on a block of clay and then to carve it.

Seahorses.

Next I built a couple of putter fish.

When Jen Tiki suggested a tiny straw for strawberry seeds I was only able to find this straw that I removed from an air blast can. One day I will find the right coffee straw and have two tools. Thank you Jen Tiki.

They sure look friendly.

All done if it passes Robyn's inspection on fb.

I'm getting much closer to the end of sculpting the Wish List. I will not ever run out of photos to share. Each step leads to the next and keeps me happily busy. Wendy
