Yeah, that little tiki is 9 1/2 inches tall and packed full of patterns. I'm testing out this new woodburner, and trying to get a feel for how the different pens work. The woodburner is too cool. How funny that you were listening to vintage beat poetry and music too. Wow, Wisconsin, is it snowing there yet? I have some friends that live in Madison, and would love to visit one of these days. I'm thinking maybe more in the spring time. I don't know if this spoiled California girl could take the cold. :) Benzart, Ok, no excuses from me. The last few days the burner was a little lonely, BUT, I've had an idea rolling around in my head for a cool pattern to draw out. This weekend Buzzy was prepping some logs so I thought this would be the perfect time to sketch out what I was visualizing. The only thing is what came out onto the paper was nothing close to what I was imagining in my mind. Something else evolved instead, but I was happy with what came out. Does that ever happen to you? It's almost like something is channeling through your body creating, and using you to do it for them. So this is what I came up with... So next I started burning something like this onto a beautiful piece of palm that Buzzy cut and sanded down all nice and smooth for me. My favorite thing about it is that it has that amazing grain pattern that I love in all his tikis. I've only just started on it today, and will post some progress as I get futher. Keeping up the suspense! Zaya
