Why no Tikis at all, some particular reason? I would like to see some too, in that medium, I mean little pendants, like the ones you've been mini glazing ..

No particular reason, Clarita. I'm just trying some new things. I found the little Tiki that I lost, but it got so dry that I had to reclaim it. 
Here's a couple 'O new things:
Ace Of Spades Fez Skull Mug. It has yet to be fired and glazed.
It's hand built from the ground up, not cast from a mold.
I can't decide whether to make the fez red or leopard spots.
10" tall Yipwan, also not fired and glazed yet. Something to hang on a wall. It's too big for a pendant (unless you are Buzzy) 
Thanks fer lookin'.

I have been wondering why you (Clay Jam) guys haven't been doing any wall hangings? Clay is excellent for that - a little heavy - but still excellent. I hope to see more.

Thanks for the comments all!
Grand Poobah-Being that my real job is as a sculptor/designer for a Halloween company, you paid me a very high compliment. Thank you!
seeksurf-Thanks for checking in!
Benz-Yeah, I hope I will sell a zillion of them. I'm trying out a lot of new things these days. You never know what's going to hit and what's going to miss. As with you, I like making stuff!
AlohaStation- I've been wondering that too. Where's the wall hangings?!
Benella and Big Daddy- My vote is also for leopard spots on the Ace Of Spades Mug.
...and Philthy, Lemmy, and Fast Eddie concur!
Rock out hard everybody!

Thanks Tahitiki.
Here's a quick shot of the finished piece. I wanted to paint the fez with leopard spots but I the deadline for it came up too quick and I didn't have time.
Here's some of the shot glasses glazed.
Gotta go!!

that's a shame. sure would have looked beautiful with the leopard spots but it's still a gorgeous piece. somebody out there is going to be a lucky owner of that. beautiful work.

Too BAD ! I can see no leopard spots and it's a SHAME !
This skull doesn't look perfect at all now, he's only amazing, so you got to send it to me in France, nothing better you can expect for 
Bravo,
Benjamin.

Excellent finish to the Skull Mug Bow's.
As far as your job as a sculptor , how do you live with yourself, I mean doesn't it bother you that they Pay you for Playing with clay all day? Then you come home and do it all night?
Actually I know there is more to it than that,,lots of stuff like budgets, deadlines, Quality control, design, reports, and unless you have helpers, you get to do all the dirty work too. Sounds like the Perfect Job!
