====================================

Wish List #7 this is for David Nelms. He LOVES Tiki Bob and I've made more of them than I remember for him.

The Tiki Bob coconut bowl without adornments. Here are the steps.

I cast and cleaned up a coconut bowl.

I cast four Tiki Bob's

I cleaned each one top to bottom.

One by one I cut the back until it fit the bowl.

Then I cleaned up the cut out area and added sticky clay.

I pressed them into the bowl.

I used my thumb to remove the excess clay.

Where my thumb didn't fit I used a wet paper towel to smooth it. Top and bottom.

I carved in the coconut texture on the bowl.

Then I carved the texture onto each of the Tiki Bob's.

I used a wet brush to "sand" the carvings smooth.

All done and posing.

It's great to be where I see the end of sculpting approaching. Two of the last projects will be the most challenging. I'm going to spend all weekend working to see what I can accomplish. Wish me luck, Wendy

There's always a bunch of things to be done to each Wish List project before it's done being sculpted.

For the Coconut Tiki Bob bowl I had to finish up the bottom and

then I re-carved the raspberries. Then

I smoothed them with a wet brush.

The I got out the Coconut Tiki Bob bowl for Chippy and did the same type of clean up on his bottom.

So after a busy day, oh yes I did more that will show up here, it is time for a good book.

I hope you are all out having a wonderful Saturday April Fools day. Cheers, Wendy

==================================

Wish List #7 lunavideogames Tiki The Hut mug number two.

This is what I call fine tuning. I go back once the mug is firm enough to lift and finish off the details.

The tail was far to thick to leave that way for firing so I carved out the excess clay.

Then I carved detail into the tail so that is was more a part of the Tiki/Jabba.

Thank you everyone for cleaning up the mess. Lesson learned. I've asked Philot on remove his post and hang10tiki you might as well take the tiki in the mouth out too. I have requested that the poster who was offended also remove his remarks.

hang10tiki yes Houston we are back on track!

Wish List #7 update.

lunavideogames requested a total of four of his Tiki The Hut mugs. They are all done.

Mug number 3.

===========================

As far as the Wish List goes I have four clay projects in the works, I need to start 3 black velvet paintings and one more for Tiki Oasis 17.

Not on the Wish List I need to do the swap art for MadDogMike's swap that is open now for people to join in the fun. I need to continue the
work on the Sacramento Crawl mug due the first weekend in October.

Every day is a tiki day in my home. It makes for a great life. Cheers, Wendy

Wish List #7 update. This Wish is for Nelson Osorio.... maybe. He had an idea but I am not sure I can do it. So I will make a bowl and he has the option of rejecting it.

Here are the steps it takes to make a platform after casting. The rim has got to go.

Even though it is going to be used upside down I still filled and

smoothed the inside.

Since this is a platform rather than a bowl I shortened the side.

I forgot to cover it over and a few days later it was almost dry. A miracle that it didn't crack.

I was able to do all the carving. But first I made sure that it didn't rock in this position. I trimmed the sides until it sat completely flat.

By the time I add so much clay they are mush and have to lie down for a few days to firm up.

Now they will completely dry and be fired before I will put them together. The platform is too small to have the girls face outward so I may make another platform. Or I may have them sideways. I'm thinking about it.

This is going to be colorful no matter how I put it together. Thanks you all for being with me as I make all these wishes. Wendy

Wendy, very cool to use a bowl as a platform. Look forward to seeing this progress.

Still don't know how Treg had 18 or 19 Wish List pieces at once, but hey, who's counting?

(just kidding).

Wendy, since you asked, a few Tiki Ari photos, from this week's SD Ohana meet up at the Bali Hai. The boy now sees tikis everywhere, and on a good day can recognize and call out by name the different tiki styles in the Bali Hai showcase (still working on the pronunciation of "Marquesan," though).

He likes to point out the Goof on the Roof as we walk through the parking lot to the front, then gives Mr. Bali Hai a hug, and often a kiss:

Man that took me a while to get what's going on here. You kept saying platform, I kept seeing bowl. This is going to have both.?! Gonna be gigantic.

Now they will completely dry and be fired before I will put them together. The platform is too small to have the girls face outward so I may make another platform. Or I may have them sideways. I'm thinking about it.

Maybe instead of having the hula girls sit in a Y , have them in a triangle, sort of knee-to-butt?

I'm liking the B I G piece with lots of deep carving going on.

TikiAno he is just too adorable for words to express. I am really enjoying seeing him growing up. Treg just played his cards right!

Philot the knee to butt is the only way to go but as it turned out I had missed his last message where he decided on a traditional bowl with the girls around the sides. So now I'll just play with these pieces to see what I can make.

============================

So today I stopped my work and went to look out the front door. Horrors! The attack of the snails.

I had never seen this before so I ran for my camera. I guess I could have walked because they were moving very slowly.

I got Dan and we drove a couple of miles out into the country and let them loose. They didn't try to run off because they were having an orgy!

slowhandtikiman I could watch you have it for dinner.

hang10tiki first set the Polynesian Cultural Center on Oahu a long time ago. Then the Place of Refuge on The Big Island. Good find.

================================

The weekends are really slow here so while I work hard I hold back the tiki art work until the week starts up. Here are some catch up photos.

A few times a year we stop at a Goodwill in Roseville. Twice this year we have run into Rob aka slowhandtikiman.

after he snuck up on Dan he let Dan have a big wooden tiki he had found. Carved in Maui in 2014.

Wish List #7 for Nelson Osorio aka Cybernel on TC. OK sometimes it just doesn't work out. But I'm sharing how I tried.
Nelson and I have come up with an alternate plan which I'll share when it's in the works.

If this would have worked I'd have leveled it before putting the girls on the bottom part.
Image Missing: https://tikicentral.com/resize.php/uploads/251/58eb9918.jpg?w=1280&h=1280&fit=max&sharp=5&s=ebe25a8ce560c2d586fd1d57410509cb

Even with the center support removed there wasn't enough space to place the girls on the bottom platform.

Next was a check to see how they fit on the outside of the bowl. They are leaning back too far to make this a good fit.

So now I'll use up all these parts on other projects and start over for Nelson.

Cheers, Wendy

zerostreet I just wrote on your thread and then clicked on mine to find your comment. How fun and thank you, Wendy

============================

Using the Wish List parts to carry on. Dan had another wish which was for a set of Tiki Bob shackers. Well neither of us remembered to pour them out and they sat too long and the sides got too thick. They would be perfect for supports for a bowl. A match made in heaven!
Image Missing: https://tikicentral.com/resize.php/uploads/251/58ecf1a3.jpg?w=1280&h=1280&fit=max&sharp=5&s=1a77e26ab7b54576296169045d4fb2fe

I carved out the tops because this prevents air pockets.
Image Missing: https://tikicentral.com/resize.php/uploads/251/58ecf199.jpg?w=1280&h=1280&fit=max&sharp=5&s=fc438a6db595d5243abac68abfeae79e

Then I did carving on each Tiki Bob so that they matched the bowl.
Image Missing: https://tikicentral.com/resize.php/uploads/251/58ecf18f.jpg?w=1280&h=1280&fit=max&sharp=5&s=ae37625887115f00d2821a2ed4a32dbb

I attached them with sticky clay.

Three prevents rocking so I didn't use the fourth Bob as a support.

All done and posing.

I still had one more Tiki Bob to work with. I made a cone of clay on the end of a ball tool and pressed it into the top of Bob.
Image Missing: https://tikicentral.com/resize.php/uploads/251/58ecf09f.jpg?w=1280&h=1280&fit=max&sharp=5&s=9ad961d37c29b544f874a05108901a28

I smoothed it around the sides. Now I have a Tiki Bob that can go into the bowl for burning a rum soaked sugar cube.

I'm not going to attach it.

All done. I have three hula girls that will go onto another bowl. I didn't use this one because it was already carved and it's too hard to prevent air pockets if I attached anything to the sides.

Cheers, Wendy

Great work as always, bummer about the measurements not working out.

danlovestikis posted on 04/12/2017

TikiAno just check out Babalu's thread for the stacked rabbits work. He really knows how to build them tall. This bowl sold to Chippy along with his Coconut Tiki Bob bowl. I guess I pulled a Bob out of the magicians hat!

===============================

Wish List #7 is for HopeChest. It is made to match a matchbook cover of a place that has meaning for him.

HopeChest check it out and let me know if there are any changes that need to be made.

Here is the matchbook that I copied.
Image Missing: https://tikicentral.com/resize.php/uploads/251/58ee3f48.jpg?w=1280&h=1280&fit=max&sharp=5&s=72335247d0eb3025f966d57ba505fc90

I started by building up the grass base.

Next I added clay to try to match the grounds bumps.
Image Missing: https://tikicentral.com/resize.php/uploads/251/58ee3f37.jpg?w=1280&h=1280&fit=max&sharp=5&s=74d9e4fa576a4d100fcd2c8b45e975df

When doing small add-ons I use tools to scrape clay down and onto the mug trying to keep all air out of the connection.

Now I just start to add blocks of clay and then I carve each one to match the matchbook.

HopeChest this is why I so the Wish List. It's so much fun to read these comments.

hang10tiki you wrote, "Another one hit out of the park" which is funny because the colors of the matchbook are the colors of his favorite team so
it's nostalgic two ways for him.

==========================================

Wish List #7 this one is for Robyn part of the Sacramento Ohana. She loves mermaids, unicorns and glitter. She asked for a mermaid mug.

I started with the body. Looks similar to a banana I recently did on a Tiki Bob fruit bowl.

Then I worked on the head and chest.

I build the face with little pieces of clay that I work into place with a wet brush.

After I did all the 3D seaweed I went back and carved into the mug some more.

The easiest way to do small things or letters is to put on a block of clay and then to carve it.

hang10tiki puffers are so cute until you pick up a preserved one and get stuck!

============================

During the Wish List I not only make things for Dan so he'll keep working for me I make things for myself that I've been thinking about.

For years I wanted to do a Rapa Nui Mug using their alphabet. Here's what I sculpted by printing the images and transferring them to the clay.

I have already made the mold and did it badly. I'll show all the steps along the way. Cheers, Wendy

bamalamalu me too. I've never once gotten the cracked glaze to work. I'm going to give it a try with one of these mugs. I will fire it on the top and sneak it out of the kiln while it is a bit too hot. Maybe that will work.

hang10tiki you have wonderful wishes. I'll look forward to your design. I have the Wish List 8 binder already started because so many messages keep coming in. I would take yours too whenever it is ready.

The MadDogMike summer swap is on. Check it out and join in the fun. I've started mine and there's a lot of time to get yours started too!

I decided to use the green matchbook cover as my inspiration.

I've got it started. I think you can see where I'm going with this coconut!

Wish List #7 this maybe for Owen Wright. He has to see if I made his wish come true.

Owen requested a machete carve coconut so I got out my scary big knife and started to cut.
Image Missing: https://tikicentral.com/resize.php/uploads/251/58f2d011.jpg?w=1280&h=1280&fit=max&sharp=5&s=1f4a5845482aa58c26db6b5e34cdcda0

I did uneven slices because if I was doing it with a machete they would be uneven.

I added clay to the inside at the top so that it wasn't too thin. Next I added clay to the outside to make the shell.

I used this tool to fuse the clay parts together and to form the shell around the coconut meat.

Then it was time to carve the coconut texture.

All done.

To make the girls sit upright instead of leaning back I cut them in half and removed some clay from their stomachs.

Then I put them back together with sticky clay and

let them sit overnight.

One by one I fine tuned the girls waists and other parts.

I put them together to see how they fit. Looks like I need to remove some hair.

I kept whittling away until they were as close as possible.

I put a piece of sticky clay in place and push them all together.

I bush the excess into place or remove it with a wet brush.

I now form a platform on the top for the coconut.

I carved some detail into the hair.

I kept putting water on the sticky clay so it would stay sticky.

I found out the hard way that you can't keep air from getting between large pieces that are stuck together. So to prevent an air pocket I carve out a hole.
Image Missing: https://tikicentral.com/resize.php/uploads/251/58f2ccb7.jpg?w=1280&h=1280&fit=max&sharp=5&s=ed3e4abaa975dd2bf5e5e94bd8965801

Then I press it into place. The excess clay around the heads will be removed with a wet brush.

You can see where the clay is coming up through the hole in the bottom of the ccconut.

then I add more clay.

I wet these two tools to smooth the clay I had added.

Done enough and it will be sanded when dry.

hang10tiki it's so great to be getting near the end of sculpting. I'm ready to move on to another phase. I'm so happy that what I've made also brings me joy in reading all these comments. Thank you.

hang10tiki Happy Easter to you too.

HopeChest thank you, that will really show up when they are glazed.

=============================

Here's some catch up photos.

Robyn requested that I add a starfish to her hula girl mug.
I made a tiny one and added it with a wet brush.

I formed it and let it set up for a few hours.

Then I used the Jen Tiki technique to make some circles with a tiny straw.

I learned from Owen that green coconuts do not have the three dents.

now it is done.
