Amy, Gogo, Blacksandz, thanks. Fugu, when I came to TC a year ago, I was familiar with Hawaiian tikis but had not been exposed to many of the other Polynesian cultures. Your Baining fire mask was the first time I had seen those and fell in love. So whimsical with the big eyes but so tragic that they spend weeks crafting them, dance with them one night, and then discard or burn them.

Here's the matching pendant and beads I made to go with the mug for the 2009 Tiki Art Swap
