hang10tiki and since some wishers mentioned they wanted a goblet I made three more. Now I just need to tag names to them from the Wish List. I'm happy you like it.

Hamo my nephew is fortunate that he and his family were not home. They still cannot return so they have left Colorado for New York. I don't want them to return until all the winter rains are over. There could be a next time. There is a flat area in front of at 3000 foot high mountain that is fast turning into a cliff.

I checked out the page you mention and it brought me back to 14 hour days of glazing. Horrors I can't do that any more. I was looking at your Wish last night. I am excited that there are so many good one this year.

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

Wish List #8 continues with the next Goblet #4 for Jay Robinson.

To make beads I roll out a snake and place it. Then I chop out the bead and then I round the edges with a wet brush.

I try to change each goblet in some way. Example do I part the grass skirt on the

left or right.

For this skirt I added a fringe.

Again showing the addition of clay to make more hair and the support for the coconut.

Top view.

I put sticky clay on the coconuts bottom as well at the support top.

Done and ready to fine tune the clay that squished out when the coconut was pressed on.

This one will have a brown coconut on top. I carved the detail and added the 3 dents.

Then I used a wet brush so smooth all the sharp edges.

All done and ready for inspection.

Two more to go. Cheers, Wendy
