Man oh man - I've been stressing about this swap! I suppose you could say that the swap is an educational experience, as I knew next to nothing a month ago about PNG. Totally unfamiliar with the style and nature of the artwork, I set about a serious course of study at Google University. I LOVE the masks, carving, and color - so I wanted to definitely make a mask to hang on a wall... but I also wanted to make a mug. Dilemma! I ended up combining the two and put together a mask/mug that you can hang on a wall peg when you are not drinking from it. They are not that big - so they wont hold too much fluid, but if you fill them with the straight stuff I am sure they will do the trick. I did two - one for the swap, and one for me to keep-and-or-sell. Hopefully if something goes wrong at least one will survive and I can stay in the swap! Ok - enough blabbing (can you sense my PNG insecurity :) ?) here are the (very bad cell phone) photos. I'll take better ones later:
