Hello all,

Just finished working on some backyard tiki decor. Thought you all might like to see it. I purchased a couple of plastic tiki masks off of ebay a few days ago. When they arrived I decided that the original paint job needed some enhancement (image 1). Oddly enough, I found the original of this mask in the book "Night of the Tiki" on page 77. I really liked the paint job in the book so I tried to replicate it. Image 2 is after the primer coat and image 3 is after the rust and tan coat.

Then it was time to bust out the acrylic craft paint. Considering that I am not a great painter, I was pleased with the end result. Check it out against the original on the right.

I felt compelled to share it with all of you because none of my other freinds would think much of it.

This is just one of several masks that I am putting on my back fence to add to our ever evolving tiki room. I am still working on a catchy name for our home tiki room but have not found one that is just right.

See Ya
