Moai's Birth by GROG for the Moai Madness art show July 9th at the Tonga Hut. Hopefully not too many rocks will blow off the mug when GROG fire it.

Terrific art showing up on this thread. Grog you are the master Moai maker. The lantern is super cool. All the paintings and drawing just inspired me to get to work. I can use my right hand for painting but not clay so I with the bowl finished I'm now working on this painting. Robb Hamel, HELP! Wendy

Progress shots from today. Did a "slab-built" Moai Mug. You roll the clay flat, cut out the pieces and then attach them all together. (Easier said then done)
Some pieces put together.
Starting to look like a Moai.
On go the ears.
Added the nose, and decided to leave off the mouth and nostrils, because GROG like the simplicity of the form.
It's all about the "lines" of the form.

Cleaned up and finished. Now hopefully it will make it through the firing without blowing up or cracking.

Thank you. GROG glad ya'll like it. It one of GROG favorite hand-built mugs GROG make so far. GROG really like the simplicity of form and the lines of it. Maybe it won't sell and GROG will get to keep it! More likely it'll crack in the kiln and GROG will HAVE to keep it.
