A whopper of a mug at that! The skull is not removables - but it is rather detailed and looks like it goes way back into the mouth of the idol. I did some more texturing last night and the clay is drying as I type this for a final detail pass. I was stoked to finally get a chance to use a texture stamp I made in December. I wanted to get a good rough stone texture to use for some ancient idol mugs and undersea structures - so I went and molded a rough patch of asphalt in my driveway with some silicone caulking (using a coat of dish-washing soap as a release agent). Worked out really well! I'll post photos of the finished mug soon! Mahalo, Henrik "VanTiki"
