It took me years to get to the best place where the colored glaze didn't run into his white face. I had many ruined or altered Tiki Bobs when I started. I will again share my best methods when I get to the glazing phase. Best wishes for your project. ============================================ Back the men mugs. Here's the next style of Tiki Hula Bob. First always comes the clean up of the mold lines and the decision to carve rings or not. I did them. Next I do the coconut tree texture from the top down and the bottom up. This time I'm carving the sarong the man is wearing. Tapa style designs. All done and ready for your inspection. It worked out that at the end of this design I was able to turn the last section into a little fish. I sure didn't expect to make so many Tiki Bob's in a row but I had to since they had begun to dry after being in bags for a year. Cheers, Wendy
