Hi Friends, this past Thursday I received a call that it was now time to release photos of a TOP SECRET mug project that was completed during a past WISH LIST. I'm going to share photos of the making of this mug from start to finish.

I am also going to put it on facebook so that these photos can be shared. I hope to create some buzz that will eventually lead a manufacturer to my client. Only a few people have seen this mug so far now it's your turn.

It is my pleasure to present you the tiki version of Homer Simpson.

I will show you how it progressed from my clients drawings to the huge mug made in ceramic clay.

I started by casting a cylinder mug shape. I turned it over and carved in the name of the person responsible for Homer.

Later down the line I took another photo of the bottom and had an optical illusion occur. The carving into the bottom had not changed.

This shows the shape of the mug that I started with.

I cut and added pieces of clay to shape the head.

This is going to be a very big mug!

Wrapped up so that part of it can dry a bit to firm it up.

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

Now I'm off to work on the Wish List #5 projects.
