hang10tiki oh I'm so happy that it's OK. Please sing Happy Birthday to Sew Tiki aka Janelle for us. I don't know how often she's here so you get to do it!

Hugs for both of you, Wendy

Progress Report on Wish List #7 this mug is for Brian Kast.

He sent me these photos and asked if

I could make a Tiki King Diamond Bob.

Here are the steps I took starting with cleaning up a Tiki Bob mug to alter.

I worked on the hat.

It's Built in so

It's not removable. Then I carved the face detail.

Perfect, a white Bob face with Black King Diamond decorations, just like Psycho Tiki D's KISS mugs.

Copying is so hard. I used a photo to outline the words on the clay.

It takes hours to look at the printed version and to still carve it to match.

All done and ready for inspection.

I can't do a mug a day but I'm far enough ahead having started in October that I can share some start to finish until my posts catch up with me!

Cheers, Wendy
