Sneaky - You blaze on Brah'dah! ALL carvers have to start somewhere; no matter how good/succesful an artist is, he/she started at the bottom rung & probably produced work they look back on with a bit of embarrassment - I know I do! We all know it is a long journey of discovery that never ends; stay in the game & your work will improve (not that is it so bad now - Ive seen a lot worse around here!). It takes a brave man to step outside of what he is good at/experienced in, & take up something new. Negative comments by ignorant idiots are simply that, ignore them!

Thanks Tama!

I'm going back and forth from being embarassed to thinking they aren't all that bad for first posts. I appreciate your opinion immensely as you are one of the standard bearers around here.
I suppose it would be worse if the tikis didn't embarass me a bit and I thought they were top notch. I'll definitely post here again. And yes I'll keep wearing my chewy tikis, just not as often as I wear 8ft's Kava Kava. Hell I wore one of the sawed off spoon-gun pendants from my other crafts thread for a few days. Lil' square tiki.
I appreciate your empathy and am glad to know that your first tries were not beauties either.
