GROG thank you. When I was little I played baseball all summer long. Your comment brought back some great memories.

RVICTOR the diver is going to be made again on Wish List #8. But guess what is up now? Yep your mug. Thank you.

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

Wish List #7 for RVICTOR

RVICTOR's idea was born from this Spanish Mug. How cool to have a fog coming from the top of a tiki.

He drew this picture. You can see he is an artist. If he were set up he'd be doing his own mugs.

I showed him how close I'd come to making something like this in the past. It never occurred to me to make the dry ice holder.

I showed RVICTOR the fogcutter choices.

He picked the one with the rim at the top and bottom. I cast and cleaned the two pieces that will soon become one.

I opened up the top of the tiki and inserted a tube of clay.

I lowered it until it touched the bottom. I will remove the excess from the top after the next step.

Now I used sticky clay to adhere the tube to the top of the tiki and to

the mug. I also started adding the lava rocks at the base.

Now I copied the wonderful drawing and added the drooling lava.

I added lava texture by poking the clay.

The tube of clay I inserted into the Frankoma War God was now ready for expansion.

I made it as large as was safe. I had to be careful to not trap air between the tube and the wall of the tiki.

All done and posing unless RVICTOR finds it needs a change.

This was a really fun project and the drawing made it so much easier. Cheers, Wendy
