Mahalos to All for all the Birthday wishes, you guyz are great. 61 is not a big deal any more.
Hewey, thanks, but Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder and I didn't know how You felt about it until yuo told us,,Thanks :)
Harro, Thanks, I am happy you enjoy my stuff. I Too am intrigued by what moko design comes out of each face. It's not like I "Choose" one, I just start off with a few lines and let it roll to wherever it is going next. I really try to make them all look different and original. I usually slide in a few Non Moko typeshapes just so a quick glance will tell it has not been Copied. I feel I take artistic liberties enough just carving a Moko Looking Tattoo, because being a Non Maori, it is Impossible for me to create or Re-create Any Moko. Anyway I love the magical trip around the face and the wonder of where it will stop and how it will look and fit together.
Paipo my transplanted friend, you know of which I speak, Now you say I need to fear these tangata whenau for they may be breaking down my door looking for their ancestors? If they tell me who they are I can carve a close copy so they can mourne in peace.Thanks Paipo .
