Hammo I'm posting a whole lot of photos after two days of losing my internet. Here are many days worth of steps in making your bowl. This is the bowl I will trim to make it work for this Wish List #8 project. I cut off the top and then cleaned off the mold lines. Then I pressed in the sides to make the nooks for the hula girls. I used sticky clay (slip mixed with trimmed clay) to stick them in place. I used a wet brush to remove the excess clay that squeezed out from behind the girls. Once in place it's time to start on their outfits. I won't be able to work on the bottoms until the bowl is firm. Here I am adding layers of tea leaves. Then I started a lei. On a different girl I added a coconut top. On the third girl I added a sarong dress. When the clay has firmed up days later I fine tune what has been added. More detail is added. Then for the grass hula skirt I began to carve. Then I use a wire brush for further detail. Next I refined the lei. Hammo requested a band of tapa around the bowl and here is the start of this detail. Dan tightened our cables and now the computer is working. Such a relief. Cheers, Wendy
