Hi all; thanks for your comps & feedback!

Flynny: Glad you like the pebble-pieces; let me know what you think of the update on this latest one. I may just send him over. :wink:

Cheers Benella, Hewey, Gman, JohhnyP: Lets hope BigBen likes it in person, gulp.

BigBen: Be gentle on me...

gMoney: Thanks & Welcome (just PM if there's anything that grabs you :wink: Seems to be the quickest route to getting service)

TGap: I know you're up to something... Pressure this Man people! :lol:


And now, (drumroll please)... At long last I can reveal the final stages of the Fez-Tikis time with me.

*As a matter of fact this is actually already in the post Bullet! Gone. On its way... One Zillion apologies for how long you had to wait for him. Hope your head hasnt been too cold!


It got ugly before it got good... "Oh my God! What're you going to DO with me..??!! Arrrgh!!"

Managed to get 4 strands of artificial sinew through each hole which were tied into the hat & knots melted.

I cant show you the binding/glueing process as I has all 3 hands full & couldnt reach the camera with my feet. But here is the finished result after all finishing/tying/drying/melting & de-fluffing of hat (shine your shoes Guv'nor?)

Nice brim...

Jeepers Creepers...

The carving hugs the curve just lubly!



*Hope you like it Bullet. Ill PM you later. :)




A bit more progress on the side-hanging Pebble-Tiki. WD-40ed but looking a lot more like it will when finished now (for potentail future-owners benefit. You likee?)

A bit more shape in the stone than may be apparent from just the front view.



*Now that youve seen him a bit further along, let me know if you still want him. Cheers.


Another tiki day. Time for a gin. Bah!

Luv ya's. TTT :)
