Well , I worked all weekend on stripping the bark , laying it out and started the carving . The customer has a Shag style retro house with all the furniture and plenty of Shap seigraphs to boot .She wanted a reto style "Happy, drunk looking tiki . Im also adding a shelf below the tounge with polynesian carvings on it and assorted flowers such as Hibiscus , plumerias and ferns . Not shown in the pic is the base which I carved notches in at different levels for small seasonal flower pots . Ill be working on it the day after the Bali Hai show . Hopefully Ill finish it that weekend . She also wants a 3 foot tiki carved on the back at the top to look at the girls riding by on the boardwalk behind the hedge , sweet! |
