What to do with all the monkeypod pineapple bowls you find! - Tiki Carving

The majority of items used to make it were thrift store finds...the bowl, the aloha shirt fabric from a size small shirt, the tin candle mold (or whatever it is). The palm trees came from a store that sells cake making supplies and decorations. The Coco Joe's tiki was purchased in a lot off Ebay nearly 5 years ago. The lava rocks supporting the display came from the inside of my father-in-laws grill. All in all I think it came out pretty good... I've got about 10 other pineapple bowls that I'm planning to do some different themes with - if I ever get some spare time. Originally I planned to make the first one using a mini bottle of Demarara rum I found at an antique store guarded by 2 mini tikis from a couple keychains but I didn't... that one's gonna be next. Whaddaya think? JohnTiki Aloha from the enchanted Pi Yi Grotto in exotic Bel Air Maryland! [ Edited by: johntiki on 2005-05-20 22:46 ]
