Hammo it was fun to see Kilroy. I hadn't thought of him in decades.

hang10tiki you made my day. I've never gotten such a wonderful response before. So cute with you in some of the photos. Congratulations on your big win. I will enjoy taking money from you someday when your projects are completed. That's fun for me.

Hope Chest you are up next. I hope to see hang10tiki with half of each mug on a side of his hand or head.

hang10tiki did you read that? Don't forget.

Wish List #8. This project was done for Hope Chest. One mug for his wife and one for him.

I started by carving in her name on the back of a Tiki Bob mug.

Next I rolled small balls of clay and pressed them in place around her name. Next I painted slip around each flower to make sure they were sealed to the mug.

Then I began to carve each flower and

after that I started on the rings.

I added texture with this tool and then

I "sanded" it with a wet brush.

When her mug was finished I started work on his Speakeasy Ray mug. First were the steps for the flowers.

There were a lot of flowers because the name was so long.

Her mug had been drying for a few days before I got to his so the actual variation in size will not be this much.

All done, please check my spelling. You may let me know if I got it right here or by PM. Thank you for letting me make these mugs, Wendy
