hang10tiki I sent you a secret message!!!

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

Wishes sometimes do not come true. I made lunavideogames a set of mugs for his home tiki bar on the last Wish List #7 but I just couldn't bring myself to do the work again for some of his friends. I have too many tiki friends on my Wish List plus these took far too much time to make and glaze. He was a gentleman and let me erase his request. I had already cast all the pieces so I decided what to do with them and then for the tiki I broke the mold.

Here's his last wish.

This is the back of his mug.

Here's one of the casts.

I scraped off his logo and smoothed the mug.

Then I started re-carving the back.

When I made these mugs I had to re-carve every single line on every mug. What you see here just wasn't deep enough for glazing well. That is why I was ready to break the mold.

After carving the one I decided that I would just smooth the rest of them and use a spotted glaze that doesn't work on carvings.

So this mold is gone. Next I will work with all the mermaids that I cast.

Wishing you all a fun day, Wendy
