Copying Tiki - Tiki Carving

The amount of time and effort put into just the design of an original tiki is monumental let alone the carving time. The reason why I have posted so few of my tiki's is because TC allows non-members to view the carving section. That and the fact that TC doesn't block the right click allowing the viewer to copy image. There are some standard tiki's from Hawaii, Easter Island, Marquesas Islands and New Guinea. You can always do them. If you feel you must have a certain tiki then commission one from the original designer. If you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything [ Edited by: Tikilizard 2009-04-30 15:04 ]
