Greetings Tama the Tor-Mentor!

"BenZ: 'BUMPLARIAN'?? Thanks! "
Of course, Nothing but the Best to coax the Jade Master out from hiding in the dark corners of TC, Glad it worked. :P :D :roll:
.....

"JenZ: besides being rude, it would have been on the back of his head! And I dont want to have to carve the matching Beavis-Tiki!"

What, No "Butt-Heads"? It woulda been neat to have carved the first one? :lol:
....

"BenZ: The Gemini in me is torn between the two approaches (pre-designing & free-carving), each has its pros and cons.."

I understand, and what a Tear, it has to be Very difficult not to plan it all out and follow the plan but also very scary Not to have that plan. IF I could draw even a tiny bit I'm sure I would be drawing everything out to the T but my chicken scratching would only confuse the piece. I Do run into trouble many times where I Know it could have been eliminated had I drawn it out first.
How ever you are doing what you do, don't stop because it is working well for you. A bit of experimenting is great though.
Your 2 new guys definitely started the drool spigot going full blast again and all I can do is sit here drooling and shaking my head in bewilderment.
More Nice work

*** "Its been all go this end. Not a huge amount of carving but I seem to have been very busy & dog-tired at the end of each day. Some of this could be attributed to spending many hours falling off my new skateboard which I received for Fathers Day! (I never learned the first time round but seem to have improved with the intervening years off) Now my son and I are working on matching bruises to go with the matching boards.." ***
What, Are you NUTZ?? I Hope you have your hands insured? And I hope you are wearing wrist braces and stuff like that. I can just see sprained wrists and No Carvings from Tama for a Long time. PLEASE Be Careful and Take care of OUR hands there, I don't wanna come down there and give you a Whoopin' ! :P
