Well I did not think there would not be much to work with on this one but looks like people came up with lots of ideas. I have eaten crow before and it tastes like chicken.

The kiln was only down to about 300 degrees this morning, cool enough to open and snap a quick pic but not cool enough to remove it yet.

B bitterfishies Member Joined: Feb 22, 2015 Posts: 21	B bitterfishies Posted posted on Mon, Jul 27, 2015 7:54 AM Now that I look at everyone's I think I should have added one of the tiki's too ^^; But after 12-14 hours in this my back is done. I hope whoever gets it likes it! EnchantedTikiswap2015c by carolyn w, on Flickr EnchantedTikiswap2015b by carolyn w, on Flickr EnchantedTikiswap2015a by carolyn w, on Flickr My fabric paints didn't take well on my original try, so I redid it using embroidery instead. It helped the Parrots stand out against the fabric. It's a little over stuffed, but that will help it live up to normal everyday wear better. (and it's machine washable!) I"ll try to take better photo's if the sun comes out. it's looks like it's going to rain all day where I am.
