KIA ORA TIKI-TYPES! Happy 2008!! I hope everyone had a safe, enjoyable and Tiki-filled Christmas/New Years? The end of '07 just snuck right up and whisked us into several weeks of classic Antipodean summer weather - Too hot for anything much other than eating, drinking, swimming, hanging out and more eating/drinking - still no smoking!! (but eating)

**Big thanks to everyone who follows this funny progression that is my "work/job" and a special thanks to those who take the time to chat; my apologies for not being able to give the time Id like. At least lifes full eh? I promise to bring a tiki-load more this year and believe there might be a bit of a direction change coming before too long (had some very exciting thoughts about wood and bases.. :lol: )

The first Tiki of 2008 (larger figure on right)

(also the first bargain of 08 - a commission for my cousin) She wanted a piece similar to the piece I have been wearing recently. Its quite fitting that the first of 08 be a follow-on from one of the last pieces of 07. The Tiki-beat continues..

Heres wishing us all greater understanding, skill and enjoyment in our endeavours this year - Happy carving all! :D :D :D
