Kia ora Mieko - I just found out the groovy lil Santa-Tiki pendant I received as a gift a day or two back, was created by none other than yourself! I had assumed it was a mass-produced product for some reason (no offence; more of a compliment on its professional/made-for-mass-appeal quality) and am thrilled to now find out that its handmade and to see the original carve! Sorry I missed its posting.. One of the first things I thought to myself was how incredibly well painted the red hat is and even mused that the 'worker' must really love their job. See; the care shines through and your efforts are noticed and appreciated! Ditto with your photos too - nice job! Merry Christmas! (Don)Ho Ho Ho... Tama :)
