hang10tiki I do see the 70's vibe. I took a potters wheel class in college and the kiln was filled with that style. That's fun to se your mom and my sister were both at it back then. I'm doing well. I sanded an entire kiln load today. I can't lean back but I can sit up straight so that's perfect for working. Thank you.

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

Wish List #8 phase four update. I've gotten a lot done and it's time to start posting. This project is for hang10tiki. It has turned out to be one of my personal favorite mugs. It was such a challenge to make but I think he'll be happy in the end.

Here are the first steps. I cast the appropriate sized mug and cleaned it up.

hang10tiki took a mug I'd made for him in the past and photoshopped images onto it to show me what he wanted. It's an Easter Island mug.

First I cut out the images of the three tikis.

I folded a paper so the it was the height of the mug.

Using that paper and the cutout I sketched out an enlarged image. I really should have done this on the computer but I didn't want to use up a lot of ink.

I did each one until

I was happy with the shape but

I will tweak them as I go.

This is why I do the Wish List, it's just fun to make something new. Thank you hang10tiki for this really hard one. Wendy
