hang10tiki that sounds like a lot of clam chowder. I like it too. Here's what I've done to help Dan's salt and pepper collection be more complete.

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

The shaker set that Dan sold was his purple and orange Harvey's set. Only Rugby Matt has one that I know of besides the one we sold.
Here's what I've done. PS Hammo I will get to your post soon.

Here's how we displayed them in Dan's collection before the sale.

I didn't take a photo of the backside so I requested photos from Rugby Matt and he sent these.

I needed to see the backside and he supplied a good photo.

I have always wanted to reproduce these because they are so rare and cute. Now was the time to get it done and it worked out really well. I started by making a block of sculpter's clay. Romo number two.

Then I began to cut out the design.

Now I began to build the body and

once that was done the

head.

Then I fashioned the ears, arms and legs.

Next I started on the backside.

I built it up and then

I couldn't resist adding Dan's butt. I did his butt once

before on the Coral Reef mug.

I made the bottom indented because it will have a cork.

Then I did the detailing on the front.

I'm so happy to be working on a project I've dreamed of for so long. Eakem Bookem made a mug of this sneaky tiki that was great, I'm glad I got to these before any one else.

I will make a run of them so if you want one let me know. Wendy
