Aloha!

I'm what'cha might call a long-time "T.C. Lurker!" You guys TOTALLY inspire me!!!

Anyhooo... I recently sculpted a ceramic Quasi-Moai-Tiki-Head-Lamp, and am thinking of making more...

Sis throws a big Polynesian Festival in No-Cal, every spring, and I might get a booth (That is, IF I make enouh Tiki-Stuff to make it worth my while - factoring in the PITA-element of getting a CA Seller's Permit, and collecting/tracking Sales Tax and all that other "Nuisance Stuff!")

I was curious to know what you-all thought about my first attempt - and is this something you'd actually be willing to BUY??? (Price is TBD at this point - I've only made the one [with a second "in the works" now] and haven't really figured out how much time/materials $$ are involved!).

Aww, what the heck, IF it were for sale (this one isn't!) - What would you be willing to pay???

The "Moai" part of it is appx 12" tall x 4" wide. Shade is 7" tall x 9-1/2" wide. So overall dimensions are appx 18" tall x 10" wide. I guess he's more "bedside table" sized than anything else (tho' I may try to make some larger ones as well).

Just soliciting feedback at this point, so I'd LOVE to hear from you!!! Is there anything I could/should do to make him "better?"

ANY suggestions/feedback are VERY much appreciated!

Mahalo Plenty!!!
