hang10tiki Cactus Bob A 2 fisted drinker is a better name. I've always needed help with that. Too bad it's already dry )o:

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

Heeeeeeeeere's Bob.

It occurred to me that I'd never seen a Tiki Bob where his rings went across his white face. Why not?

So I started carving first with the tool with the V shape.

All done with that one.

Now I used the wire brush to add surface detail.

His face will be white and smoother.

His body a coconut tree color.

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

I needed to make a few more flames for mugs.
I started with a mold for ornaments.

I carefully cover them with clay.

A picture to show the progression. Oops I missed the bisque fire step.

Once the flame is leather hard I can go back and add more detail.

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

That's it for today. I'll be back tomorrow. Cheers, Wendy
