McTiki...

Thanks for the suggestion!

Yeah, Moais are pretty "common." But they're also pretty easy to reproduce! (Hence, my first attempt was a Moai!)

Kus and Lonos: Seem better suited to "carving" than hand-sculpting - but I may try to play around with letting the clay dry a bit more before I work it.

Or I suppose I could seek out some molds. But - in my mind - that would be "cheating!" Personally, I much prefer to hand-build everything (Which certainly limits my productivity - Yet it's oddly therapeutic at the same time!).

Anyway, it's a very good idea and I'll give it a shot!

When I make one, I'll post a photo for more feedback (although it'll probably be awhile since each piece takes several weeks to complete - depending on the kiln schedule @ the studio)

I DO appreciate the suggestion! And I'm not discouraged at all - Like I said, I'm looking for feedback and suggestions!

Mahalos again!
