Tiki Kupcake, I really appreciate your vote of confidence! :)

Naw, these are turning out pretty good for a first run.

Tipsy, I think you're on to something. :wink: Kids would love 'em!

Thanks for the compliments, Dave, but there's many times I think that I've gotten in over my head on these things.
I just want to get the first one done and out of the way so I can breathe a sigh of relief.

If I can get the damn raffia to stick to the awning sometime this weekend, I'll have a super update by Monday morning.

The whole thing should hopefully be done by then so I can distract myself with something else before I finish up the second Tiki Temple I started with the first.

Sometime in February, I have the basics of a huge building cut out, that one will take some time.

Seeks, thanks man! It's cool 'cause I can tell you're on the same wavelength as me on these. The goal was to keep them in the style that I'm accustomed to with the darker, earthy colors and have the whole piece tie together well. One of the biggest concerns of mine when I started, but so far it seems like I am succeeding at my goals.

Have a good weekend everyone, I'll have some pretty pictures for you on Monday morning!
