Hello TC Ohana!
hey Ben!
Not sure how i wanna hang/display this yet! let me sit and thunk on it!
Finally took some DREMEL shots after a loooooooooooong session and seem to be getting the hang of it! But first...Hewey and JenTiki...I'll take you to the edge...of the surfboard with this composite shot....

here's 3 shots-2 closer up and one from a distance...I just paint it around the edges,figuring what goes where...nothin' special! Sorry! Hope you weren't expecting to find treasure or some answer to a philosophical mystery there....
well, i've been keeping this dremel project hidden from eyes because......well....I suck at it! that's why i'm posting it here,safely nestled in Other Crafts away from those carving geniuses who would tear me to shreds.... :)
first off, this working surface was a gift-a pair of 'em from that talented (and quite witty) friend o'mine Squid aka Senor Calamar....who thought I could do somethin' with 'em! Well,always up for a challenge,I resketched what I wanted and here it is....

i figure this would put me into a crash course of different textures and stuff..For the orongo in the middle-that will be painted with the rest carved...A lotta frame for such a small piece but who cares! We're here to have fun,right?
Here it is semi-dremelled and still sketched out!

Thank heaven I can draw and have a steady hand following lines!
And here it is,almost done with experimental green brushed over the surface to capture the linoleum cut feel of some of the areas!Here's the top part with lotsa glare for all you glare fans!

and here's the poor lil' victim tiki's head scrunched between the big guy's hands,,

and here's the happy and sad folk on the bottom...

Whew! That wasn't too bad...and i worried so much about posting these!
well, the next step is the painting part..an area I feel a bit more comfortable with!
i feel like i went thru a hazing! especially with Paipo looking over my shoulder!
