Thanks McTiki for the welcome! PalmCityTiki. Which big guy do you mean? The Ku or the the post on the right? If it is the one on the right it is just a support post with a mask. I can post more of the Ku if you want. Over Thanksgiving I finished a couple of projects and did a few more. I hope you all had a good break. Once this gets under your skin you can’t let it go. A Kwoma mindja mask I slabbed up a large log a couple years ago and finally made some use of the planks after they dried. A skull rack from the Sepik River area. An Asmat shield. I combined features from several shields into one. A Korewori River figure. A slit gong in the shape of a crocodile. I was originally going for a reproduction but one too deep cut with a chainsaw wrecked that, so I did a cartoonish version. About 7 feet long. And yes, that is snow ($&*^%). This is for TCs in the the south. It is the same view as the picture in my first post. Only 6 short months until spring!!! Hope you enjoy it. [ Edited by: JohnnyP 2005-12-03 11:20 ] |
