Aloha,

Benella, thanks for your response. I don´t realy know what kind of wood it is.
I think it could be beech (in french it´s hêtre).
Amitiés!

Seeksurf, thanks for the great picture. I laughed again, when I saw the funny guy with his umbrella in the background.
His eyes loks like fried egg. I remember his name is "Gumby". Great Microcosms!
I also enjoy the Tiki Microcosms thread and hope that more people will be inspirated to create one.

O.K. and here are the next pictures of my PNG box. First I continued with the door and milled
out the pattern. It was not realy easy to hold still and make clean lines. The heck with it,
It´s handcrafted! Now I´ll try out to mix some natural pigment colors for the pattern.
I read at Basement Kahuna´s thread that you can use buttermilk for mixing natural colors.

And than another step I have done. This will be the lamp of the tiki shack.
It´s out of a small glass bottle. I cut the bottle neck, fixed a LED at the hole and knot the net around the glass ball.
I have done it yesterday and need all the evening.

Mahalo and a great week, Kai
