VampiressRN aka Marlene brought it all together. LoriLovesTiki I have heard that there are more crawls in the works. Wouldn't it be fun to have one a week? That works for me because my favorite drink is water. TikiHula the phone makes you feel so near to us. I do miss the hugs. One day I'll get another. Meanwhile you keep on having all those runs and Disneyland visits oh yes and do stop by here!!! ============================ I didn't plan to start on the Wish List #8 but some projects kept calling to me because they had been waiting on the waiting list since Wish List #7 closed. So I've slowly gotten back to work. The first project was done but wasn't as the wisher had envisioned it so I sold the first one and started on another. This is for Owen Wright. When I post like this it looks fast. It is actually very slow. Days to cast and clean each piece is not even shown here. Here is the drawing that Owen did for his mug. He didn't want the grooves on the coconut and didn't say until it was too late. This is what he wanted. I did one girl with a grass skirt. He requested a flower in the girls lap so I used this one as inspiration. All done. To give the girls the strength to hold up the heavy coconut I attach them but their hair. I build it up a bit at a time. All done on one side, two more to go. I made a skirt for this girl. The top is filled in and ready for the coconut. The coconut was ready to go on top of the girls heads. I used clay mixed with slip as glue. Three different hairstyles. No. 1 No. 2 No. 3 Dan got set up with the air compressor to blow off the dust. I took this photo to show where my newly painted gecko's showed up. I very carefully sanded the mug. It went into the kiln all by itself. This is very expensive but I wanted to catch it up to glaze with other projects. After it had cooled. It is now white and hard. We saved the water from the other projects and now I scrubbed it. I swear this water was 50 degrees and numbing. All washed and ready to go into the house to await glazing. I have other new projects to share so we are back to work. Cheers, Wendy
