Hi guys n gals.

Well, my wee experiment into 'finish first - post later' seems to be working. I want to share but as a fulltime carver am feeling the need to play a little closer to my chest. The pressure to finish particular pieces doesnt exist if you lot dont know what Im up to... :lol:

Benella, QueenK: Here come the first two. Ok, one's not so cheap. To be tried in the marketplace shortly...

BenZ: No prog shots this time. The juices were flowing with this first guy following; drawn up & blocked out some time ago but halted at the point where I knew some 'letting go' was needed. I just wasnt ready before now. Strange things happen behind closed doors...

Gman: Thanks for the inspiration dude! :wink:

JohnnyP: Thanks for the compliment but I cant really take the credit for jades' translucency! :lol: That one belongs to 'Io'. I guess I help with my shaping & sanding. If a good quality translucent jade is carved with an even taper then you get that nice graduating glow at the thinner edges. Purdy eh?

So here is what Ive been working on - secretly. Without anyones knowledge...

'Hei-Toki Teko-teko' 2007














oh and a blurry one to finish; marvelous. Hadnt noticed that. :D

The teko-teko figure itself is just under an inch and a half tall.
So whaddaya reckon? Im pretty chuffed with how this came out & wont be sad if I have to keep it.

And this wacky ethnicity-less creature also found his way out of the Box. What can I say about him? er, he's unique! I blame TC... :lol:

Both these guys will be in the marketplace shortly - at a TC-only special morning price and only for a limited time... I really hope they can find homes with TC members.

Take care all!

Tama :)
