MadDog Mike's Platterful of Pupule - El Tiki/Ben Wilson Wall Finished - Other Crafts

My first one I tried to make as a sleeve/glass holder but it is really difficult for me to control the amount of shrinkage- too many variables. This first one turned out just a little smaller than I planned and luckily I was able to find a glass that was just slightly smaller so it fit. Now I'm making the pieces separate and gluing them to the glass, but the whole thing can still be immersed for washing. It also gives a bigger space for the "lava" to shine through while still maintaining the look of volcanic rock EDIT - HopeChest, do you remember what the mug was that served as a sleeve? I'd like to see how it looks [ Edited by: MadDogMike 2018-01-04 12:19 ]
