It would be a lot easier to draw blood if Dan would just sit up straight.

A bisqued Frankoma War God statue was given to me by Wendy when i stayed with her in August 2012 so that i could glaze it how i wanted. It took me a while to choose a colour but i finally settled on this black crystal glaze. I hope you're happy with my choice Wendy.
 
 
P.S. Everything added since the last time i posted here on your thread looks great. As usual. And yes, that Bowl of the Jaguar Temple is huge. I hope Philot has a drinking partner when he fills that bad boy up.

Professor G thank you. I sure hope it works this time. Do you still like white with blue dots? If you want something else that's OK too. Swizzles statue looks great but I don't have that glaze.
WaikikianMoeKele Dan only has this happen with one guy at the lab. He figures he needs the practice so he doesn't say anything. Then they always have a woman come and she gets it in one try. He said he will sit up next time!
hang10tiki Dan said he'll remember to say "OK my turn" next time.
MadDogMike the bowl is huge. I guess I should have taken a photo next to a Bob. I love it when you all share photos.
I think Dan had your reactions to shots but only after they poked him 8 times at two different labs. After the 8th he had to lay down for awhile. I intervened and had him go run hot water on his hands. I put on the tourniquet and said poke him right here. They got it.
cy he promises.
Swizzle not only is the glaze terrific the photos are too. Thank you for posting. Your visit was such fun. We hope one day you'll do it all again. Meanwhile keep turning out your wonderful ceramics.
Progress Report:
#15 Severed Head is waiting to get out of the mold.
I've canceled Dan's bowl. Instead I've made one for the Tonga Hut show coming in March. Hopefully this won't blow up.
First I cut a hole all the way through so that air can escape from PELE.
I cut off her arms.
Hair has been added to fill in the holes left by cutting off her arms.
I attached her to the bowl and added flames. I carved on the base to look like the top of a volcano.
Overview.
She's been bagged to dry. The flames were so soft I left them exposed to air.
Chippy's mug came up next on the Wish List. I started with the hat.
The sombrero converts to many styles of hats.
I added the ring to hold it on.
I added clay to the base to make it thicker and then I carved in his name.
Plastic wrap keeps the two parts from sticking but allows me to check the fit.
I put a disk on the front of the hat that will become the badge.
I had a very fun day making these. I hope you all had a fun day too. Cheers, Wendy

Wendy, I sent you a p.m. but the gist of it is that I want the statue to be the Wendy-est War God possible. I want it to have the Wendy treatment, to be all Wendy-fied, to be truly Wendy-Plus-Ultra-Deluxe. Wendy it up, Wendy, and I'm pretty sure to love it.

Wait
A bowl for Dan-O, then no bowl for Dan-O
Sorry Dan-O
But then I see the Dan-O revenge
Sharp flames come out of the bowl at eye level to treat the person who gets "his" bowl a lesson
Lots going on...lookin good
Jon

Poor Dan, he looks so sad to have blood drawn. My wahine made the same face on New Year's Day when I woke her up early.
Man this Zombie Brain (new drink) is taking it's toll.
That's a hell of a glaze on that War God. It's like the negative of the Wish List White with Blue spots.
Hope all is going well guys! I've been a little busy playing bed nurse and responding to important emails.

Professor G what a fun challenge. I won't forget the blue eyes and white teeth.
hang10tiki poor Dano it's another pour day for him with lots of molds to fill up.
ZeroTiki thank you so much. I wrote you a note on the swap page.
Hale Tiki she's a lucky woman to have a human alarm clock.
Progress Report:
15 Severed Heads drying.
19TikiChef62's bowl mold. I use a kitchen chopping tool and a rubber mallet to separate the pieces.
The mold is still saturated with water and soft.
So far it looks like it will work.
I put these pieces back together and strapped it. Now the fan blows into the opening non-stop for weeks.
Chippy's hat. I've started the badge.
It now has its points. The center design will have to be enamel because it is so small.
Matt the cat wanted a Matt the Cat Bob.
Here he has his mustache and goatee.
On the back I've put on enough clay to carve the flowers. His bar name will go here.
Dan's baking chocolate chip cookies while I work.
It's 7 PM and I'm still working because those cookies gave me way too much energy to waste.
I'm copying Matt's hat.
One mold can be used in so many ways.
Well I knew the mustache wasn't quite right and then I put on the hat and saw that it is too small. Dan I need more cookies!
Another clay day ahead. Wendy

Matt's portrait Bob is turning out great.
Also, this may be the first time there's been a law enforcement tiki!

Wowzers. Love it all. Well, I wouldn't mind some chocolate chip cookies... oh well. Professor G, love that request/order- and I can't wait to see the Wendiest mug ever. I'm sure it will make everyone smile. Wendy, I'd love to get on the wish list, I'm batting around a few ideas (okay, that was kind of a (wheel) clay joke. It's too late, but I'm up catching up with the Wendy & Dan show- and digging it.
