Tiki Tonga Just excellent! I really love the negitive spaces in this little fella...now this one would be a pain in the butt to mold. You are a marvolus hand builder Bai. Don't listen to those guys -keep rasing that bar!...it makes everything so much more fun for all of us and they know it. :) Oh and that emerald green on the "Lolli Poly Pop" was an excelent choice. The juxtoposition between it and the color used create a wonderful focal point. Whens our next clay jam kiddo?

Ladies and Gentlemen... here comes the Hei Tiki!! I don't know if anybody tryed to do it in mug.. beside the one who's been made by SylvaC in 1928 but it was just reeeeally hard to do! the most complicated I've ever made! Now i can really tell.. that the guy who sculpt the real little Hei tiki is just.. an incredible artist!!! and for sure... at that time he created it.. he doesn't have any idea that somebody in 2009 is gonna try to make it on mug! :D Just for the information.. the eyes will be with really "pieces of stone" I don't know the name in english...

I'm curious about your process as well - I am thinking that your ideas are so good that you shape the clay with the power of your mind alone! :) Keep sharing! Henrik Edit - wanted to add, you could easily turn these into production pieces - is that in the works? [ Edited by: VanTiki 2009-05-30 12:17 ]

You kept the guy on top and his mouth is where the straw goes in! shrinking the body captures a cute feeling you definitely wouldn't get from a real Moai kava-kava! Even the ribs and the spine! All These new pieces break on thru to the other side! Bai rocks!

Your carving skills are amazing. Are you going to mass produce any of these?

L leleliz Tiki Socialite NorCal Joined: Sep 02, 2008 Posts: 1982	L leleliz Posted posted on Tue, Jun 2, 2009 11:19 AM hehe Last time I was in Paris I wrote "LIZ WAS HERE" in black marker at the top somewhere. Actually I think I defaced the tower about 3 times now. You should take Duke to the top and leave your mark :wink: (although you are French and live in Paris and most likely look down on such tacky tourist behavior!)
S squid Member Joined: Sep 30, 2002 Posts: 1462	S squid Posted posted on Tue, Jun 2, 2009 2:08 PM That's hilarious! Duke turned out really great and the feathers are perfect! :D Encore!
M MadDogMike Grand Member (8 years) The Anvil of the Sun Joined: Mar 30, 2008 Posts: 10857	M MadDogMike Posted posted on Tue, Jun 2, 2009 8:37 PM Duke and the KavaKava are both full-tilt Bozo! Great work. Did you change Duke's glaze or leave it? It looks perfect. The feathers are a nice touch - I've been searching for Guinea feathers to decorate my Papua New Guinea drum (even though I think Guinea fowl originated in Guinea, West Africa, not PNG)

TB Tiki Baï Tiki Socialite Paris France Joined: Jul 30, 2007 Posts: 209	TB Tiki Baï Posted posted on Wed, Jun 3, 2009 1:12 AM Actually yes.. I changed the glaze.. I know you can't see it.. but the head was not totally black...it was more like a dark blue.. even the hat.. was really light yellow.. and the body was to brown.. so now.. I think it's come more as I wanted to be here the Tiki Tonga finished. I just wished I could be stronger enough.. to open a bigger"ring".. well.. I'm still a girl anyway! :wink: to answer the question about having one of my mug on "product""serie"... I'm working right now with peanut bob. You have to understand that I just started sculpting this winter... so I guess I have to make my proof to be one of you. :) Babalu: You have no idea how much I would loooove to be part of your clay jam!! Really! this first "lesson" last summer was the more exiting moment I spend in US :) and I have to admit that I learned a lot with you! Thank you! oh.. and thanks everyone who leave a post...:) it's really nice of you to leave your impression about my work.
