Here's an update. The Bird-Moai has been abducted! Not to worry - my mother-in-law saw this guy and loved him. He will doing a tour of duty protecting plants at several flower shows thoughout SFL. He is not done, but very close - I get him back in a few weeks and will post images.

For the Tiki Swap I created a new moai-stylized pen. It is actually a recreation of another pen that I did that did not turn out as well. Its been a while since I've done a pen, and it felt pretty good working so small. The wood is a mystery - just a piece that was in my wood bin. Carved very nice and has a golden hue to it. I didn't spend alot of time on the base and I feel that it shows?? The way that the pen works is you twist the head and the pen tip comes out. Takes standard ink refills.
