hang10tiki I have as much fun with my failures as with my successes and that' why I post them. Tikis rule my life!

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

Wish List #8 more steps and problem solving for hang10tiki Easter Island mug.

To make this work I flipped the cutout over and pressed it on the clay.

I then cut away the excess and then painted the mug and the bird with slip for glue and removal of air bubbles.

I figured out where the beak needed to end up and then I started at the bottom by lifting the plastic cover and then pressing the bird from the bottom up into place.

Next I peeled off the plastic disc. The bird is in place and the plastic prevented stretching.

This is the tool I use for making clay slabs.

Again I flipped the cutout so that the face will look in the right direction when attached.

I cut away the excess, removed the cutout paper and painted it with slip and onto the mug it went.

All three Easter Island tikis are in place.

It feels good to get to this point. Onward to more steps.
