lunavideogames when they are dry and bisque fired we will talk colors then. I will have the crawl mug AP's in colors you can look at to decide. Thank you for the compliment too.

hang10tiki Ah so is your carving.

hang10tiki this is funny beyond words. You gave me a big smile and a fun start to my day.

TikiAno, GROG, 8FT Tiki you also are very funny. I went too far and regret it. Over and done and lesson learned.

From now on just art and "Edited by: danlovestikis 2017-04-06 19:11"

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

Wish List #7 update. This Wish is for Nelson Osorio.... maybe. He had an idea but I am not sure I can do it. So I will make a bowl and he has the option of rejecting it.

Here are the steps it takes to make a platform after casting. The rim has got to go.

Here it is cleaned up. I don't know if this will work out or not.

Even though it is going to be used upside down I still filled and

smoothed the inside.

Since this is a platform rather than a bowl I shortened the side.

I forgot to cover it over and a few days later it was almost dry. A miracle that it didn't crack.

I was able to do all the carving. But first I made sure that it didn't rock in this position. I trimmed the sides until it sat completely flat.

I cast three Hot Tub Hula Girls for this project.

I added Hair and lower garments.

By the time I add so much clay they are mush and have to lie down for a few days to firm up.

This may be used to go behind the hula women to support the bowl.

This is the second bowl that I carved and it will be the top.

Done and

flipped.

Now they will completely dry and be fired before I will put them together. The platform is too small to have the girls face outward so I may make another platform. Or I may have them sideways. I'm thinking about it.

This is going to be colorful no matter how I put it together. Thanks you all for being with me as I make all these wishes. Wendy
