Cograds, He'll be pimped out in the finest in Baby Poly-pop atire

I just recently saw some little Hawain shirts. I bet if you look around you could find one. But if you know how to make one, I wouldn't even think to do that.

Really cool thread!! thanks for all the information. I like very much your mug his very cool! Congrats about your baby too!!! Keep rocking!

HMC,

Congradulations on your beautiful addition and a huge 'thank you' on such an eye opening thread. I have begun to make a master or two;)

This will be fun.

Much positive Mana to you and yours. Mahalo

This is such an awesome thread! It is exactly what I needed to move ahead to the far away future production of my own mug.
Congrats on your new arrival.

The outcome of the little Tiki shirt can be found in this new post:

Spend most time on this area as if it isn't done neatly, there will be a noticeable part line down your mug.

I love this thread. I have a question though.. why do you build up the bottom with clay? Couldn¡¦t you just pour in plaster, let it set, flip it over and pour in the other half (with a bit more care perhaps :))? Or will bubbles and air pockets play tricks with you if you do like that?

Any way, thanks for a fantastic thread. I¡¦m looking forward to see the DIY Tiki Mug explosion now that everybody knows how to create ceramics.

G'day, Sorry for late reply - just popped in to catch up on everything!

You can't just pour in, as oppsed to building up the clay because you need to add key points to lock the 2 parts together. Check the steps after the photo you have posted above for more info.

PS: I have already noticed many new mugs in the forum!
