I have begun to mentor Mahalo Tiki aka Nelson Parker and his gal Leah in the art of mold making. I am currently producing the 2019 Sacramento Crawl mug. Duane Orzol and Marlene Cross have agreed that Nelson is a good choice to produce the 2020 mug. As of this next crawl I will have made them for 10 years. It's time to pass the torch. I will then work on my Wish Lists, black velvet paintings and other small projects. This is a necessary change since I have developed carpal tunnel. I remember the surgery well from the last time and I'm hoping that cutting back will help me recover and avoid surgery on the opposite side. Making the crawl mug has been a joy. I will be there to help until he is ready to be on his own. Please Cheer him on. Here are photos of the day of mentoring. Over a year ago Nelson brought me his design for a Tiki Bomb mug. I did this sculpt. Now it has come in handy because I will teach him how to do a mold on his own art piece. It will have a wick coming out of the top piece. It has a base so that it will not roll off of the table. On the backside there is a warning symbol, it will also have an opening for the drink. At the end of the day they had their mold. It needs to dry first and then Nelson and Leah will be producing their first mug. Please cheer them on. I will release photos of my 2019 Sacramento Crawl mug closer to summer. Cheers, Wendy
