I still love it. I know what you mean about the center lines, without them you go ofcourse and the piece gets smaller than it should. I ame a bit of Watered down American. My Grandmother was full Penobscot Indian and my Grand father was a halfbreed so that make me ,,, Heinz 57 I guess. I have never dug into my family background as you have and maybe I should, but I really don't have the desire. Now, IF I was Maori, then I may do that. Your tradition means a lot more to you than others I guess and it shows in your art. Just keep trying to teach us how to do that stuff. I'm gonna do a Hei-tiki soon, I can feel it!
