I am loving this bowl so much and the whole process of making it. I feel kinda helpless now because I helped out through some of it, but all the detail work is Wendy's forte and I'm just a beginner. So I keep her company while she works on the details. I think she's inspired another mug and bowl maker though - I will continue to learn from the master.
Wait til you see the next progress report!

That thing is HUGE! Possibly the most complex project I have seen you work on. Can't wait to see how the "Al Dead" bowl continues!
Happy New Year! Thanks for making 2013 so interesting.

Yeah the fez bowl is looking cool! Funny that we had seen some photoshop action of the bowl on his head BEFORE it was a fez! hang 10 is a psychic. How do you do that voodoo that you do?
Last thought of 2013... I want a Dan mug! He needs his own mug. We all know how he loves tiki! I would buy one and I bet others would too! Not near a computer or I would have tried to photoshop a picture of how it might look.
Happy New Year Wendy & Dan and everyone else on this thread. Me and my wife are at Don the Beachcomber for the evening. I will post some drinks on that other thread.

Mahalo for all the positive comments on the bowl. I can't believe it myself. And Hang10, you must be psychic...but you were supposed to put Dan's face on the wahine 
Happy New Year TC Ohana!

MadDogMike all my tiki men are stunning.
TikiHula that's cool the Mug Makers of America welcome you! Master Wendy thanks you and Dan says don't blow up her head shrink it.
TikiAno your wish is to be fulfilled.
WaikikianMoeKele Tiki Hula is here and watching me type. Thank you and may you have a healthy new years too.
LoriLovesTiki the persective is off, it's really only 3 inches wide...NOT!
lunavideogames hang10 is many things and creative is one.
(Last thought of 2013... I want a Dan mug! He needs his own mug. We all know how he loves tiki! I would buy one and I bet others would too! Not near a computer or I would have tried to photoshop a picture of how it might look.) Now Dan's head needs to be shrunk.
Happy New Year to you both as well.
hang10tiki Dan loves his new mug and bowl.
TikiHula what a thing to say. He's here and I'm about to make him suffer. Clay all over his hands.
=============================================================================
Hi Friends, to celebrate the New Year I bought a $5 bottle of Champagne, the first I'd ever bought. When Dan tore off the foil it had wire all over the cork and we couldn't pull it off so Dan cut if off.
The we found it had a twist if off place that was hidden by the foil.
It took a lot of strength to remove the cork but Dan did
and we toasted the new year. Then Dan went back to his glass of wine saying the Champagne was too sweet.
Happy 2014 everyone.
===========================================================
We started the day with Tiki Hula bringing in the bowl to the work table.
He stared off carving the hair.
After several hours we had the three pony tails finished on the outside.
Front view.
Next we carved out the tops just how he wanted and they were finished or so we thought.
It takes a lot of thought to shrink a head.
So we began the process.
At the end of the day we had one roughed out.
Tiki Hula just exclaimed, "Wendy we forgot the bands around the pony tails". So friends we are logging off and going back to work. Cheers from Wendy and Tiki Hula
PS and from Dan too

hang10tiki 225 pounds by the last photo, we added Tiki Hula's head to the bowl!
The sculpting is done and now the bowl will dry for a month or two. This will prevent cracking in a bowl so thick with so many parts in different thicknesses.
Time to stitch up and shrink head one.
I like to sew.
I finished the threads and turned it over to Tiki Hula.
He added some wrinkles to the face.
He's a bit delicate
so I showed him how to carve deeper and we finished off the head.
While he worked on head two I finished off head three.
I added the strings
finished them off
along with adding more wrinkles.
Then we went for a hike to look for another shrunken head and Dan's teeth.
I even looked up a tree.
We ended up using Mike's head so now there are four on the bowl!
Happy Holidays, Wendy

I couldn't be happier with the way it's turned out and I'm so excited for the next step! I've never done anything like this before, and although Wendy did the heavy lifting, I tried my hand at sculpting for the first time and really enjoyed it. I can't even draw stick figures, but with a lot of practice I think I might be ok at sculpting. More lessons from the master are in my future.
Wendy, I'm glad we can trade computer knowledge for sculpting knowledge
