Aloha Bai!

Nice to see you posting :D

I'm digging your pink bird tree with the big birdy eyes - very fun & cute!

& your peanut bob is AWESOME - the big one and the cute little ones (?pendants). Loving the idea of turning bob into a peanut! Now you just need a peanut-based drink recipe to go with the mug :wink: We have a liqueur in the U.S. called Castries that is quite yummy & tastes like peanut butter......maybe that could be a start to an appropriate drink for peanut Bob?

Anyway - nice work - let us all know when you're taking orders for 'ol peanut Bob....

YAY!!! Bai has her own thread!! Killer work sista'! Your monkeys are really cute, even smoking. I've got a few requests to do a few more monkeys too... Mine look more like the Hyde to your Dr. Jekyll :-) I never could bring myself to making "cute"...You (and Squid too) cover that area quite nicely.

Soooo much damn fine hand built ceramics taking place on TC these days....ya gots to love, LOVE, LOOOOVE it!

Look, if you're going to do something amazing EVERY TIME, people are going to expect you to do something amazing every time. So, you better start knocking out, some so-so carvings or people are going to have such high expectations of you that eventually you'll put so much pressure on yourself to produce a masterpiece everytime you sculpt, you'll end up having a nervous breakdown, and retreat from the world becoming this recluse that people hadn't heard from in years until some reporter discovers your art from decades before and does one of those "where are they now" stories.

You're batting 1000, so far. (In baseball terms, that means your doing perfect every time you step up to the plate.)
