The other drums require so much work that I would only do one as a Wish not a run to go with black velvets. Also I just like this tiki because he's kind of scary. Hamo a lot of tikis on that page too. I read the last line of your post to Dan who laughed and then said, "You put that on Tiki Central?" Yes I hope everyone is able to follow the guidelines that protect our health. Dan and I were both found to have pre-cancerous polyps on our colonoscopies. They were removed. If not we would both have colon cancer by now. Modern medicine works. ============================= Stephen Seaton's wish was for two of these spitting tiki fogcutter mugs. So he gets to look at all 10 and to make his choices. I never got a photo of cutting back the clay around the tiki so that it looks lie it is against the mug but not part of the mug. I haven't done that on this one but the photos following will show it well. Then again I go over the surface to make sure there are no dents, if there are I fill them. Once done I can now go to work. I start with adding clay to the forehead area so that I can make the eyes deeply set and dark. The I add more clay to build the rest of the face. Once the face is done I make a wood surface with a wire brush and then the next day it's time to carve the mug. Mug #1 Mug #2 Mug #3 All together. Since they are hand built each tiki has it's own personality. Three down 7 to go. The next mugs differ because they all have the rim around the top as well as the bottom. Wendy
