Tikibad's tiki mugs and other projects

Hi all, well started to make tiki mugs, I have made around 16 of them, and its flowing, carving them out of leather hard clay, as soon as I get enough to get the kiln filled, then I will fire then . Then start making molds and cast them. I am having a great time doing this carving. most of the time its just pick up the piece, carve a line or 2 in the clay, and it starts to flow out. let me know what you think here are some of them. thanks tikibad scott

TikiBad, you've been a bad, bad tiki. I'm liking it a lot. You're on FIRE 8)! Tiki on wit yo' bad self.

Those are gonna be cool! Love to see some more progress pic!

progress shots

these are other ones I did last week

here the one I did in an hour

Scott, I like that you are carving these out of leatherhard clay instead of sculpting them out of soft clay. Most people put their ceramics in the "Other Crafts" forum but this technically is carving, I guess it belongs here :D

What is that clay you are using and are you carving them with bamboo tools?

well here are 2 more, I have 6 going to be fired this week. very cool cant wait

well they are getting better, here is some more I did thursday

Man Tikibad, these are all not looking Bad at ALL!

thanks! I am having fun carving and just letting it flow out, I pick up the first fired batch today, very excited.

there fired bisk ware, getting ready to make my molds. tiki bad

My favorite is the 3rd photo on page one of this thread. Do you have one available? I love to carve too. I think that Bai does her perfect art by carving the clay but I don't know for sure. Keep it up, oh those are terrific T-shirts. Wendy
