hang10tiki glad you are home and safe. I've never seen the space needle in Seattle up close so it was hard to tell. It is a little army.

Hamo you are welcome, here too.

Sandbartender I would like to match the original colors if possible. Then I may also match the mug which has a deeper purple. It's all fun. I might even super carve a set.

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

I am finally back to the Wish List #8. This project is for Hammo. He wants a hula girl bowl with a 1940's twist. He supplied a lot of photos that were a great help. Some were of my past projects that he liked and wanted incorporated into his design.

I cast three girls and then cleaned off the mold lines on the sides, bottoms

and shoulder areas.

When dry they will be sanded but for now they were ready for a tummy tuck.

He wanted his girls to be more upright. I removed some clay from the abdomen.

I put a layer of sticky clay in place to glue the area closed. I massaged her lover back so that it would stretch as I bent her forward. I've done this many times in the past. I should have sculpted her upright rather than leaning back.

Now that's much better.

The three are now upright and cleaned up and ready to attach to the bowl.

More tomorrow, Wendy
