I like the concept of some dude camped out on a Rapa Nui beach for a couple of weeks, making his own souvenir out of found stones. All my other moai pieces have been much more classically influenced and quite stern looking, so I wanted this one to lighten up a little. Once he was done there was no question he needed the chunky stone necklace to hang from, even though it meant more hours of work. $OLD, sorry. Gotta be quick! Lono coming soon! :drink:, P [ Edited by: Paipo 2008-08-19 14:38 ]
