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 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 |
