Saw these today in person and they're SWEETER than SHUGAH, Baby! Colors are amazing. Buzzy hasn't even started playing with the possibilities...

Sweetness? Sugar? Did I hear someone say tikis that look like chocolate? How about a tiki that looks like chocolate, that is chocolate(just one of th epossibilities I'm playing with).
Introducing my first chocolate tiki:

Does that make me a confectioneer now?
I want to make a pendant version of this tiki in chocolate next and market it to diabetic tiki guys. If the tiki guys blood sugar gets too low, he could just munch his pendant and restore his health and vitality instantly. Since it's medical grade, I'll have to charge $125 a piece. Non medical grade will be substantially lower.

I have been way too intimidated to try casting. Did you feel the same before starting? They look great by the way!!

I was definitely intimidated. I think the most inportant thing is to be able to adapt your methods and environment quickly to get the best results. The trial run of one really helped, and it seems like it would be a pain to only do one mod at a time. Good luck if you give it a go.

I think you need a mower with more horsepower to be honest.:)

I came home from running errands today and the neighbor's landscaper was working in my front yard. He and his helper did my whoe yard. How many horsepower is two dudes in a pickup with a gas powered weed wacker.

TikiKate: Feeling "punchy" lately?

Benzart: Hi Buddy!

GMAN: I will not rest until all peoples, regardless of race or social class, have bling!

Tikithomas: Thanks man!
