Time for some tlny pendant stuff....

Just completed for Ohana Luau at the Lake, may I present Lil George, the spittin' image of his big brother George the mug:

And I decided to make a little version of the PNG anteater sculpture. I like the idea of him as a pendant.

More soon! Thanks for stopping by!

Lovin' 'lil George - can't wait to get one at OHANA!!!!

& Here's hoping you bring some of those cute 'lil anteaters out East, too :wink:

Hey Squid,
What is a Castaway Ceramic's Favorite Color?

MAROON!

Not nearly as good a word play as Porquesan!

How do Pappy?

Granddaddy Ruiner here....well Pappy, I'm not going to have this little ole Bumper Car Piggy done til after Oasis :( Jus not enough time in the day Pappy

But, I thought I would show you a couple little progress shots...all the glaze work is done on the little bumper car part...the pig body now gets primed, and painted with the purdyest titty pink automotive metel flake you ever saw :) then, I have to shoot a clear coat on him. And that's not it...I still have to build the little removeable mug toten drunkin' Shriner dude in a seat that fits inside too.

This thread is just ooozing with eye popping stimulation that turns me into a mouth breather as i rock back and forth maniacally laughing.

This is some eye-schorching, creativity-inspiring stuff.

The taillights on the last one were seriously unexpected.

Squiddlers,
GROG' "Pigi Bob" came out pretty well, except for the damned glaze flaking off. Same thing happened on the salt shaker. GROG thought it might have been underfired bisque on Salty Bob, but Pigi Bob had a good full bisque fire, so it's the damned glaze. GROG get a different underglaze, and refire, and we should have bacon soon. GROG gotta go out-of-town for a week, so GROG work on Pig when GROG get back.

LT

Pigi Bob's sooo weeet; like bacon!

V

Grog - I love that Piggi Bob!

Sorry about the glaze. I've been there (glaze malfunction nightmare land) more times than I care to remember. I feel your pain!

Henrik

Grog, piggy Bob is brilliant!!!!!!!!!

Amy

here piggy, piggy, piggy - SOOOOOOOOOOIE!

Dawn! Save me from the scary people!!!!!!!!

OK, Thor and Kiki are gonna love this:

It's a "rigid tooling wax". (There, I said it) It's mostly used to machine prototypes for precision parts.

I just know this thread is going to go straight down the tubes now...

Did somebody say...

love.Junior

where would one get sum "ridgid tooling wax" if one wanted to "play" with it?

...entering the conversation as a straight man....

SQUID~ Totally fantastic trio of pendants! Nicely done.

...leaving the conversation as a straight man....

B

"rigid tooling wax"???

sounds kinky...the pendants are great tho. remind me of a line from a Cramps song: "When the drum-beats start, it's time to go"

T

Squid - Love the drum pendants, man!

How about a set finished in oyster black pearl to match my Ludwigs? :wink:
