Cheers:

SurfinTiki: The 'little dangly thing' in the koropepes 'eye socket' is actually the tongue inside the beak, but I can see how/what youre seeing - hey, its all interpretation isnt it? (I hope this hasnt put you off buying it..?) :wink: Bad language? those are *creative incantations * that assist in production..

Duddy: Thanks mate. Good to see you busting out with some paintings over there in Other Craft. Thats another project on my 'to do' list at this stage. As frustrating as it is I deliberately stop myself from going into Other because it would quickly burn what little hours there are left in my day. I used to be a keen printmaker and pen/ink scribbler but keep it to designing carvings these days. Keep up the good work.

BenZ: We cant talk about the secret funny words for obvious reasons - although they are funny.. :lol: shhhh

Talking about navigating...check this out! Just finished it for the upcoming exhibition in Sydney....thought I better show the "master" (and the world I guess). This is my first go at a little green man (or very dark green in this case) Although new he is actually old as you can see by the beard, the trippin eyes and tounge are Synthetic Opal from germany)Hope all is well in the "Wild West". cheers Jas

And last but certainly not least; my old mate tweedie3d! How are you Jahs'son? Welcome to TC!
What can I say..? I should encourage you to start a thread of your own and let everyone else say it! Your first Tiki and its a smasher!! Beeeeutiful! Love the detail on the upper beak and the inlays are super saucy!
*Not quite the whole world tunes in here but anyone-whose-anyone in the contemporary Tiki world will soon know about you. I hope youre prepared to dedicate your life to Tiki carving and decadent living..? :wink:
Best of luck to you and Paipo at the coming Sydney show. *Paipo? (look him up..) I hope youre going to stick around and dazzle us with a bit more of what you do!
