Cheers Will and cy.

Thanks Wendy. I'm very happy with the hook. And i wish i lived closer too.

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

After making one of the ugliest molds i've made so far (which thankfully works okay) i have a new mug design. The original pic it is based on was posted on Instagram a while ago by someone i follow. The only information i've been able to find so far is that it is from Papeete in Tahiti. I have trouble coming up with names for my mugs so the best i could come up with was "Peete the Mug". :lol:

Only 5 have been made so far and it's the biggest mug i've made holding 1.2 litres. I added straw holes to the chests on two of them to make them more 'manageable' but they still hold 3 cups of liquid.

So here's the picture of the original carving i used,

and here are the mugs.

A pic with a soda can for scale.

And i made one mug of just the face of the bottom of the design but i'm going to make a new mold just of this section as it will be much easier to pour rather than using the full size mold and having to clean all the excess slip out of it.
I'm going to call this guy "Peete's Head".

The two with the straw holes have sold (the darker brown) but the other three are available (the two light brown and the reddish one). Shoot me a message if you're interested.

Cheers
