i search a picture of a tiki mask that don't looks angry or something. the tiki should smile and look funny. and he has to be very colored. (e.g.: red lips, yellow pineapple on his head etc.)

i saw some of those on a documentary. but i don't know on witch channel and i don't know the name of the documentary.

I don't recall anyone on TC that carves masks that fit that description, but there are a lot of threads on the carving forum and I have not been through that many of them so maybe this guy's work is buried in there somewhere. Here's the forum:

I don't think that's what you are looking for as it's not exactly a "happy" expression, but if you look around eBay you might find something similar to what you want. Good luck!
