Thanks Johnny, Ben, Hiphipahula, harro, timid, FBalls, Bowana and Ben (again!)

harro, I guess it's a marble...I found a couple of 'em lying in the gutter when I was walking down the street one day! Not quite as exotic as finding the real thing on the beach :wink:

Bowana - yes! I really wanted to "chop" into this guy and get some sculptural depth. I'm pretty sure some of the old-school hawaiian flava is inspired by your recent works. I'm starting to keep my eye open for stones that look like little logs!

Ben, the "old" guy/s will be pleased to hear I am having a break and cooling the ol' jets...I've got plenty of ideas bubbling, but nothing that is grabbing me, and just happen to have a whole lot of other stuff that needs to be done. I worked on 7 different pendants today, but none are tikis. It's getting into the busy season for us again now. So, maybe fewer tikis for a while - but I have a very nice stone I'm eyeing up for my next one, and I also bought 3 new Oceanic Art books this week. The galleries may have my hands - for now - but they'll never control my mind!
