A "wall of tiki" will remain, but sometimes all that stuff threatens to overwhelm the creative vibe of a workshop, and you need some clear space to grow within. I'm not sure why you're worried about creative block with that box o' goodness you've got sitting there though...the thinking (and most of the carving) is already done. Dust off a few of those highly ambitious pieces and get them into the waiting hands of the collectors. I did the same when I was stuck recently (finished a few of the ones I'd drawn or partially completed but put into the too-hard basket). I will be out soon to check up and provide some inspiration in liquid form :drink:
