Arrghhh! BEN!! I am floored!!! Would you believe I have missed this until just now!??

*It is a few moments after midnight, I have just returned from a good freinds' wedding (another Great/original/prize-winning stone carver -not a tiki-type, but if you saw his work you'd forgive him). Caught up with Paipo at the function & before things got too messy (pics to follow Paip/pipe..? gulp!) he imparted the news; "your Moai is started; its been posted!!"
Sober-driver & lovely assistant Victoria got me home in one piece & here I am! (still swigging on the bottle of red I swiped as we walked off, teehee - TTTerrible!)

BEN! I LOVE HIM!! Got your PM; THIS IS THE ONE!! Bless you...

*It feels kind of strange to be on the receiving end of commissioning or 'ordering' a piece of art, from any kind of artist/craftsperson, let alone a man of your talent or demand Sir. For all of the many hundreds of small "artworks" I have created and sold or imparted, I have never really had the means to be much of a buyer (Vic would disagree!) -I have my collection of tiki-kitch but only a few pieces of any real substance; these I treasure. It is among these that this piece will rank. My son will inherit this. I thank you.

Take... your... time... I will enjoy every moment! A zillion pictures please! :D :D :D

*Gman: colon :D :D :D colon

Happeeeeeee! Tama :D
