hang10tiki you two kids have so much fun. You must know that the draw to Las Vegas is no longer the Buffets. Instead it's getting to visit you two and to see all your new tikis and room and backyard additions. Hopefully one day you'll show up here.

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

All the bowls are spoken for right now. Here are the last two in-progress and finished.

Bowl number 5 is for Ken Kim McCormick.

Each mermaid out of the mold looks like this. No hair and the middle and end of the tail are missing. I did this so I could mold it and then also so I could change it.

I finish the tail and then

the hair. For this one I added some rocks at the base.

I sealed her into the bowl with sticky clay and

Then I added the Bumatay and detailed them with a wire brush.

For bowl number 6 I decided to do a change. I cast a sheet of my sea life necklaces and

cleaned them up. I chose some for the bowl and then

cleaned up the rest and added holes for the chord. These necklaces are available.

Before the tune up.

After the detailing is done.

Two together each a bit different.

Bowl number 6 is a Mermaid with sea life. No Bumatay on the outside of the bowl. It belongs to Eric Alred.

I start as always cleaning a mermaid cast and then adding the hair and

then the tail.

Sealed into the bowl with sticky clay. Then I added Puffers, a turtle and some sea shells. These are also stuck with sticky clay.

All six together and slowly drying under plastic in the garage.

Two days left until I officially start on the Wish List #8. I have a good head start. Even making the binder is a long process.

Cheers, Wendy
