What? GROG they only gave you one zipper? I guess I did a few too many on the mug. I agree that without the beard you look like a kid. I'm so happy it's over and you are on the way to hugging all the tiki girls again instead of all the nurses. I'm looking forward to seeing you again, better than ever.

hang10tiki I love that Album cover. Thank you.

=====================================

Working on lunavideogames Ween mug I had to correct my mistake and add another spike. I started at the right side checking how the spikes matched the photo until I found where I went off. Then I cut off one side of a spike and added it to the other side.

When I had made room I added the missing spike.

Now the spikes match much better. When I carve them out they will match even more. I also adjusted the shape of the face to match. It's a bit of a warped face.

Side view.

Next I started on the back with the Ween creature.

I used very sticky clay. The whole time I have to use care not to introduce an air pocket or it will explode in the kiln.

This creature has more legs and parts than I can add but I did as many as I could.

Pretty much done here. Fuzzy photos.

I started preparing a Bob for the second mug for lunavideogames. I cut off his nose.

I filled in the face with gooey clay. I let this firm up and then I'll add more.

This is a fun project. I hope you all enjoy watching this take shape. Cheers, Wendy
