Im afraid my brain has bulges in funny places which means Im ok at some things but other things just have no room in there. That bit about the resizing of pics is just one of those things; I tried reading the words over & over but they just go all fuzzy and start to swim... Hope this is ok; I just make 'em small on my camera before dumping them off..? After looking through a few books & a lot of head-scratching I have decided on a Tama-fied version of a Moai Kava-kava head type thing, pendant. I have never made one of these before and only have about 6mm depth to play with - sooper sexy stone though! He is actually a bit of a mish-mash of elements from the paoa-club head/handle and from an occy-headed female Maoi paapaa (a lot like Moai Kava-kava but with a broad flat chest, and boobies), and Tama-fied as I said. (I hope those Ancients are with me on this one, gulp) I intend to put inlays in the eyes & earlobes. Im sure there will be a bit of evolution as the piece progresses & I really have no idea of what its going to look like at this point. Knowing me I wont be able to stop myself from blocking out the profile within the next day or two but will then need to put it away for a while. Hope you likee; someones gonna get it..? Tama :)
