hang10tiki we have a cruise to Alaska this year along with a trip to Maui. But before we do either I must finish all the crawl mugs so that I can relax.

Hamo I swear I tried to make it smaller. At least one piece was small. The gym kicked him out for lack of attendance.

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

Wish List #8 this is the strangest Tiki Bob I have ever made. It is for hang10tiki. I'm wondering if there is a story that goes along with it. If so I hope he shares it.

HIs request was for a Tiki Bob cut in half and the top half having a bottom installed so there would be two small mugs.

I started by taking a piece of paper and making it the height of the full mug which I had just cleaned up.

I folded the paper in half and found that it was perfect to cut the mug just under the nose.

I wet a knife and cut the mug.

I took the top half and dropped inside of it a ball of clay.

I used this round ball tool to smooth the clay on the inside.

Then a day later on the outside I smoothed the clay again to remove any separation spaces between the mug and the added clay.

First I did the large rings on both halves so that they matched. I counted the cut as a ring.

Then I added the classic texture and then

I cut in all the additional rings.

These are not stacker mugs but I stacked them for fun.

Oops must be an earthquake.

hang10tiki did I do it right? Wendy
