Wheeew!
I've just finished reading ALL the previous posts in this thread of yours Tama!
What a wild ride! I've been on an emotional roller coaster - I've fallen in love with each piece you've carved from birth to completion, only to find this love was unrequited and another man got the girl :cry:.
Only to fall in love again with another!

I've learned a few things on the way though, which is what life is all about.

I read that Benz was contemplating carving a hei-tiki from mexican stone on Page 4. Did that ever happen Benz?
Has anyone visited the site CelticNZ? Rather dubious content would be an understatement (but who am I to judge pseudo-history?), but here's a pic of something interesting:

The tiki on the left was apparently uncovered in Mexico suggesting pre-Colombian contact between Maori and Aztec (read Thor Heyerdahl anyone? I know you have Tama, nice Kon Tiki head!). I just thought it was apt none-the-less as it's a mexican tiki.
(the ladies on the right are northern egyptian apart from the bottom right lady who's Maori... ladies love them chin moko no matter where they're from!)

Oh, and Tama: The lovely wahine on Page27 - the BC one with that freckle... downstairs - THAT'S what I was talkin' about in my PM (when you're ready of course!) :D
