cy you work harder than everyone. Wood isn't as easy as clay, not even close. I just work too many hours. I hope you don't. I'm so glad I got one Tiki Oasis hug this year and that it was from you.

TheBoozehounder welcome. That was really nice to write such a complimentary note when all the projects looked so messy. Here are those projects finished. I hope you'll stick around and meet all my friends that post here.

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

Wish List #8 the Bumatay Mermaid Bowls.

Number 1 was made last year for Dan but sold to Karen Nichols

Number 2 is for Alex Dulude. I forgot to take my black velvet photos of this one.

Number 3 is for James Dinwiddie II

Number 4 is for Lee Scott aka Tiki Lee

Number 5 is for Ken and Kim McCormick.

Number 6 is for Eric Allred. I've been learning while doing these. Sculpting is the easy part. Glazing is really hard. sometimes you can't get the glaze in place or when you do it then travels as it fires. Check the hair where it reaches the shoulders. I re-glazed this several times and in the end I had to paint hair around the base. Eric was fine with it. I wish I could have done better. I will never make hair with an under-cut again.

Number 7 is for Roger Scott.

Number 8 is for Alex Reaney.

All have shipped but one that goes out today. It is such a good feeling when they arrive in their new homes.

Cheers, Wendy
