OK, here's my entry, the FlaMoai Bowl!

Here's a rough top view, imagine this with the points rounded off, much like a standard three-sided Tiki bowl crossed with a Boomerang Table:

Here's a side view of the bowl without the Moai to show how I envision the shape to come out (I was able to draw the curves better here):

The top of the Moai's head will have a small declevity to hold the flaming material.

In the original dream where I saw this the depression was deeper & allowed the flame to shine through eye holes, but I don't know how easily eye holes could be cast, and I think people would put too much alcohol into there which could cause fires or crack the piece. Also, I gave the Moai a Shecky mouth 'cause I couldn't think of how to draw a regular Moai mouth, I saw it with both. And in another part of the dream I saw the Bowl separated from the Moai, and the Moai was an insert that you could put in other bowls.

For those of you who may have previously marveled at my lack of picture taking ability, you now see that this lack of ability is exceeded by my lack of ability to draw! :P
