Have you ever thought of carving a tiki drummer pendant? El Stingray, don't worry too much about the burrs, there's so many of them and they don't even have names, just numbers, so I make them up! I'm digging the output of the Scandinavian tiki crew - it's great to see little isolated pockets of artists around the globe furthering the cause. Here's some "borrs" for ya: Benz, you'll be right at the top of the list, along with JohnnyP, GMAN and Loki, once I work out how to get a good looking cast. I did a month or two's research before i even took the first mold - good things take time. And yes, I will be trying to make them look like stone and hopefully get some natural texture happening too.
