WaikikianMoeKele just up ahead your mind will have its answer.
lunavideogames every step ahead makes for a very happy day, thank you.
Professor G I hope you got some sleep last night. There is too much lifting. That's why I got so tired I started pouring the glaze on the table. How's the Blue Bob Group going? Are you having conventions yet?
You two are amazing.<<<<<We'd like to resemble that remark!
Bruddah Bear, hey there. I made a box and I never even thought about using it. Sometimes in the moment we just charge ahead. Thanks for the link.
hang10tiki once upon a time there was a guy who had a vision.
hang10tiki a very clear vision.
hang10tiki it brought a smile to his face.
hang10tiki he was able to form his vision so clearly that we all could see it and marvel at it brilliance.
hang10tiki he made us smile and giggle.
hang10tiki and even brought this lady into the party.
Thank you hang10tiki for bringing so much fun to this thread. I was so happy to be in one and Dan of course can't get enough. Perfect spot for him. I wish I could make a video of GROG's head spinning on my turntable.
================================================================
The conclusion to the cliff hanger.
Dan questioned whether this was a good idea or not. I told him if it stained the shed I'd paint a mural over it. He liked that idea so we continued on. I would have said, "so we sprayed" but you would have though we were skunks.
Clean up didn't start out so well because Dan hit it with the hose and then exclaimed, "now it's all over the house"!
Woman's work. I took over and stood on the side of the shed next to the house.
All done no staining at all. Dan did clean off the house and the garbage cans too.
This many left to glaze.
=======================================================
We rewarded ourselves with lunch and some time by the Sacramento River.
Yesterday Dan took a bike ride and got caught in a rainstorm. In September?
He came home drenched.
It was still pouring down when we went on a short tiki hunt. Didn't find a thing.
May your days be sunny, Wendy

You didn't show the previous photo where his toupe was slipping down the side of his head.

Oh Grog, too funny!! Now the truth is slowly coming out. See, she didn't show us how the Toupee actually got wet. I found the surveillance footage.

Over time I have learned to look at the Dan n Wendy updates before I start my morning coffee.
Again I am glad, otherwise I'm sure I would have spit it out laughing.
Good 1 guys

The Dan and Wendy show always entertains, as do all the photoshopped replies!

dartharnie or when you put out the molds to dry!
GROG I sure would love to see him completely without the toupee. Maybe in a photo with you and hang10tiki. Three lovable guys without hair.
littlegiles so that's how the Nile river started in our Egyptian room, well done.
hang10tiki I treasure all the work you each put into these photoshopped photos. No spitting on the table.
lunavideogames I agree.
LoriLovesTiki thank you from us and the photoshop guys.
=============================================================
Back in 2011 I made this decanter for the Sacramento Crawl. When the crawl ended I destroyed 5 pieces of the 6 piece mold saving only the front slab.
My intention was to someday make a whole bunch of Tiki Bob necklaces. Right now the time is right. So I've begun to make a few. Here's how I do it.
Close up of the Tiki Bob on the front mold piece I saved.
All four of them in a row.
I propped them up so that Bob was flat and would fill up.
Pouring slowly to prevent air bubbles and to make sure it didn't run out and onto the floor.
Close! I filled them up.
An hour later after the mold had absorbed water I went and added more slip to the back. Since the clay was still wet in the center this worked.
First one out.
All four out of the molds.
A good start.
I put them in a plastic bag with a wet paper towel so they would be ready when I was ready to clean them up.
I removed the excess clay with a spike/needle.
These are the tools that work well for cutting off clay and making the holes for chord.
I carved my name and copy-write into the back.
I did one to hang with Bob on his back.
Four done and ready to dry slowly.
Set number two poured.
Tomorrow the Crawl mugs return. Cheers, Wendy
