Hi Janet,

Don't take all this as too much as negative. I posted a Tiki find of a mask a while back, only to be told it was of African design. I was more than happy to hear that being a newbie to the Tiki culture. I took that as more of a schooling of what to look for, and what to not.

Now, being happy with what you found is very important. OK, here's a geeky example. When I was building a "Lost in Space" robot replica, I had the experts telling you should do this, you should do that. As far as I was concerned, the average person wouldn't know the difference. All I would hear was "Oh, my gawd, it's the F*%#ken "Lost in Space" robot. Cool, man! Nuff said, they knew what it was, they didn't care the legs weren't quit like the original, it just looked good...

Just enjoy..

Rick
