Hamo the finished photos will be up in the future for you to check out.

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

I just had fun with one of Roge Bodine's chuck lamps with my moai on the front. The person was coming to my home for his wish and then he and Nelson were hooking up in San Francisco so he could pick up this lamp. To help them out Dan and I drove to Mahalo Tikis place of business to pick the lamp up. Nelson aka Mahalo Tiki showed me it had a large chip. I figured out that I could repair it so I did. Now my wisher will get both at one stop and a free repair to boot.

Here's the chip.

First Dan and I went for a walk in our neighborhood looking for a couple of rocks that would fit. Found them!

Next I used an acrylic clear glue.

I pressed them in place and let them dry overnight.

Then I painted them with enamel paint.

All done and blended with the other rocks so that they all match.

The lamp is now ready for pick up along with his wish.

A benefit to driving all the way to Nelson's was that we found a new favorite restaurant. Yummy Kabob. It's right next door to Chevyland where he works. Everything we ordered was fresh and delicious. Now we can visit Nelson and have a great meal too.

Another fun tiki day. Wendy
