hang10tiki Dan doesn't even own one of the Diver Helmet O2 out mugs. I don't have time to make him one!

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

Wish List #8 continues with the last sculpting steps for the mug for Vance Klinke.

O2 out Diver's Helmet.

The ring around the opening to the skull is still soft but it will firm up over night.

The bolts are now firm so I can put in the screw.

To make the carving easier I mark the clay with a straight edge.

I carve out each area.

These will look deeper when glazed inside with black.

I've gone over the mug and added detail. I've roughed it up with corrosion too. Glazing will make it even better.

The first one I made had a flat bottom that cracked. So this time I'm making it concave to see it that works.

Think of a 5 pound bag of sugar. This mug empty weighs around 4 pounds. With a drink inside...It's gonna be a heavy mug for weight lifters!
