There is a lot of repetition here but new people start watching and its new for them. That's why I show all my days even when they look like the past week. I'm so happy everyone sticks around. littlegiles ahh that was sweet. GROG Dan said he lets his teeth do the mashing. I like moms. zerostreet actually I bought Eggland's Best in a bag so I didn't have to boil them. Super fast and easy. Otherwise cone 00001? TikiAno I fine tune sculpts with tiny bits of clay. It sure is easy work compared to wood carving. Have you seen the new issue of Tiki Magazine? 4WD sure is a great carver of traditional tikis. We are lucky that McTiki, hang10tiki and Cy do the hard work. littlegiles I love the photo. When the winners post it encourages me to have more contests. WaikikianMoeKele I'm glad to hear you are becoming better. Your man sounds like my man, they just love to eat. I see the end of glazing the heads coming nearer. These were on one of the first Wish Lists. Dan said looky here Wendy I'm posing for another one of your mugs! hang10tiki I hope you got your sandwich. Hale Tiki it's going to be huge. I find that fun but once again more materials and more work. hang10tiki I guess we just can't stop working hard. Thank you all for your comments. They made my day a good one. Progress Report: I did another long day and night. After I rejoiced at putting the pink glaze on all 22 mugs I remembered that I had two more layers of pink to add. 2nd and 3rd layers go faster because the boarders and placement have been established. So I did them all yesterday. Then I started adding the messy black glaze to the faces. I'll always wonder why they were made that way. Maybe the artist had worked in a coal mine. The black is going on over three layers of flesh colored glaze. Once it is on I use brushes and wet paper towels to work it in and blend it with the flesh glaze. Four down 18 to go. Thank you for hanging in with me while I finish this project. I'm sure glad I stopped at 30. Any I make from this point on will be altered versions like how I change the Bob's. I'm back to work, cheers, Wendy [ Edited by: danlovestikis 2013-04-23 08:11 ]
