Lousy SD sunset today:

Luckily, Tiki Kate donated a sunset today for all of us to enjoy.

"The beach at Lahaina" by Tiki Kate 2007

Thank you Tiki Kate.

Sunset fans do not worry, because the donations have been pouring in. Hopefully we will make it through the season...

Now back to Pre Tiki work:

I got a load of good looking ficus logs:

Now for Tiki work: I did a lot today, so I've got a lot of ground to cover quickly. Hang on

I stripped the fronds off these two logs first

Then I got one from stock and cut it roughly the same length

Next, I stripped all three completely. They all need to be 30". the black lineon them shows how much leeway I have in squaring them up.

I also prepared an older piece of ficus i had for my recreation project

Tonight I started my recreation project:

Informative part:
To square up my log when necessary, I match it to a line on my stand I know is true

Little drafting to guide me through the layout of the more complex headress I'm attempting

More tiki drafting and a little progress

More blurry progress

Full body shot:

Tonight's tribute final progress shots:


Everybody's favorite shot:

Where does the time go?
Buzzy Out!
