Aloha Folks -

As you may have noticed, things kinda slowed down on the clay front over here. It was due to several factors - day job stuff, some tile orders, and the geocaching tiles I was making. A big factor was getting over the shock of losing so many mugs a few weeks ago - it was a big hit for my self confidence and it has been rather slow in coming back! :(
Happy to report that I did get a replacement brown clay a few days ago and am back in mug land. 2 mugs are taking shape in the studio - one skull eating tiki to make up for the leaky one, and one that I am calling "Mug of The Monkey God" - here are pics of the ROUGH sculpt - much more detail will be added as the clay firms up. And yep, that is one of my micro tiles in the mouth! :)

sorry about the low light cellphone pics - I'll take good ones once the sculpt is done.

Mahalo for peeking! (and for the tentacle compliments!)
