The Honu is so cool hang10tiki. You've set the bar high so I'll just limbo under it!
I've done the chop sticks part today I'll have photos soon. Wendy

Beautiful work Jon! Do you think people would suspect things weren't on the up-and-up if I ended up with your piece again?

Wendy- I set the bar high? I set it??? This coming from the lil lady with the Gold Medal in making TIKI.......
Mike- I don't think anyone would suspect a thing, plus it would be a total surprise to everyone. Wait, did I type that?
Badd Tiki- thank you, glad u like.
Can't wait to see more pics of everyone's Sea Creatures...

Aloha Station yours is super interesting. I look forward to the next step.
Progress Report on my project which is called Deep Sea Fishing.
This is the deep blue sea.
I used Super Sculpey to form deep sea fishing poles.
To firm them up they were baked.
Now they have been painted.
More steps to go, this is fun, Wendy

I keep seeing the projects coming along and say to myself, " oh, I want that one, no I want that one, no..." Great work Hang10, Aloha nice turning, you do it all, and Wendy can't wait to see how that will all come together.

Hang10, beautiful piece. Aloha Station, looks very cool and unique. Wendy, even though my "fish fry" prediction was incorrect, can't wait to see the next step.
MDM, can't wait to see what you're planning over there. I definitely agree with Cy, everyone's stuff looks great- and such variety! I'm going to work a little bit more tomorrow hoping it's firmed up enough so I can carve in a bit and add some more details. After that I'm going to have to play a "waiting game," since the kiln I use will be "off" for the holidays....

Thank you for all your comments above.
I've had help from Hale Tiki. He mentioned that I should use the Fisherman Tiki on the mug so I did.
I got out my glossy paints and I printed a bunch of photos from Google images.
First I cleaned the ceramic with alcohol to help the paint stick.
More fish.
This is not done but I have a good start.
Happy Holidays, Wendy
