Wendy, you were busy while I was out of town! Dan's double-bake cookie method is very interesting, maybe I'll get to sample some of those this weekend  Be warned, I'm a bit of a cookie monster and a dessert fiend ~ I can blow thru a dozen cookies in 10 minutes or less 
Good luck on your repairs! Seems like Magic Carpet Bob would be a good candidate for glaze fusing. Flat place to sit on, plenty of surface area, and a "divot" to keep him from sliding around.

Super wow and thank you for all the posts.
LoriLovesTiki I'm up for making anything as long as it won't get me arrested. There will be a Wish List #4 in the future.
TikiAno good suggestions, I'll keep them in mind.
GROG Dan's cookies have put him in the running for being the most interesting man in the world. Here he is with his buddy.
hang10tiki Bake-em Dan-O.com .... see what I mean. Dan is a star!
Professor G no wonder you want blue eyes on FrankWarGod, have to keep the Brotherhood of the Blue Bobs showing up somehow.
Not only is Wendy's ceramic technique and repair really interesting to me....Now I'm in the running with Dan!
lunavideogames I'm so happy to see the Brotherhood of the Blue Bob's continues to be popular.
TikiAno maybe a color blended brother/sisterhood of Wendy Bob's?
hang10tiki I have a ways to go before I can take more orders or post photos of my leftovers for sale.
NOTE TO THE CONTEST WINNERS I CHANGED MY MIND AND I'M PAYING THE SHIPPING. AS OF TODAY THEY HAVE BEEN SHIPPED USING THE SLOWER PARCEL POST.
Progress Wish List #3
We just poured Severed Head #20.
dartharnie's Bela Lugosi repair in progress. I sanded it yesterday to remove the excess. Then I put on another layer.
I will add layers and sand until the two pieces look as if they are one.
19TikiCheft62's bowl mold was almost dry. I sanded the inside and put the fan back on it.
Today I poured the first one. No leaks, yippee! This bowl will be a major project. Three of the Missionary's Downfall women will be attached to this bowl. That's Dan's dad in the photo. He was in a police bulletin on proper position for shooting. They had to "photoshop" his non-regulation socks black before they could print it.
MadDogMike is coming here Thursday for a three day visit. He'll be staying in the Buzzy Bedroom. I'm going to take some fun photos while he is here and I'll share them with you.
Thanks for the visit, Wendy

When you're ready Wendy I'll set you up with a website. Free & easy!
I'm so happy that Mike gets to visit you. That will be a great visit. Some of my very favorite TC people together. Take lots of pictures!

I don't crave crispy cookies often, but when I do, it's Dan-o's

LoriLovesTiki thank you for the offer. I actually have a web-page claytikis.com which I haven't had updated in 7 years. I just love Tiki Central best. We are super excited to have MadDogMike coming here for the first time. I will take lots of photos.
ZeroTiki you are sweet. I hope we see you in Napa someday.
hang10tiki Dan said they are the most interesting cookies in the world. Come here and he'll bake them for you.
Progress Report Wish List #3
I just opened and cleaned Severed Head number 20. Now we are getting someplace.
I also opened and cleaned the very first bowl from our newest mold, the one that made the horrible mess in our garage.
It didn't leak and it was a success. The bowl came out beautifully.
19TikiChef62 your bowl will be made soon. I may have to play with MadDog First.
Taking the mold apart.
So far so good.
It's out along with SH#20 and a couple of Bobs.
I indented the bottom so that the bowl will not rock. I will also sign it in the indented area.
I'm letting it dry for an hour in his position.
I will be attaching three Missionary's Downfall Women to this bowl.
Cheers, Wendy

I wonder....What about leaving the bowl upside down like this and attaching some or the girls to create a goblet of sorts?
Might be something worthy of some pagan polynesian ritual....
As always, love the images and lessons...and thaks for fixing Count bobula...I mean he can't flourish his cloak without an arm after all.

hang10tiki its going to be so much fun to have MadDog here. He arrives around 3 PM. Those cookies are in his future.
dartharnie good idea on the goblet. I like to change things.
Count Cocula...<<< oh oh, I think I carved Count Bobula on the bottom.
Progress Report:
19TikiChef62's bowl will have three Missionary's Downfall women attached. The original sculpt that I did had the woman leaning way back. For this new bowl mold I need them sitting up. Using I label scraper I cut into her waist.
I removed some clay and then added a little bit of sticky clay as glue and bent her forward and smoothed her waist.
On another one I cut her in two and built the waist up so she would be taller. I added clay across her legs so that she'll be wearing a sarong.
Doing this makes them very soft so I used a towel to support them in the right position.
Here are three views to show how well she sits up now.
I did one for Liddle Lola's naked lady lounge sign.
My next set of photos when I post will show how I altered the arms on two of the three ladies for 19TikiChef62's bowl.
I hope to also have a photo or two of MadDogMike.
Cheers, Wendy

Or right side up, and attaching a War God to the top of it!

Too easy for jokes Dartharnie...
This is a family friendly thread here. I won't be the one to make crude jokes on Wendy's thread 
Looking good Wendy! Keep up the good work. Hopefully Bobula is fixable. 20 heads already! They are coming along nicely.

I too am impressed by the customization on the maiden.
