Got it Tas!! Got ya covered!! UPDATE as far as these heads to everyone. Based on feedback here I have decided not to totally finish all 15 to 20 heads and save some as basic ones that a buyer can "customize" or tailor to their liking. A basic head will be a hanging style, all the basic realism in sculpt and scalp hair and skin detail. This head would sell for $250.00. From here, just like buying a car, you can accessorize. You see what a head with a 400.00 price includes. I also have 3 commissions for very high end heads that will be priced in the 2K range.. Those heads will even have the affect of the traditional Chysophora chysochlora irridecent jungle beatle wings in the hair braids. I have acquired 5 specimens which I am developing ways to reproduce artificially but as close to the real thing as one could detect. I love researching this stuff to make these even more what we all want to see as a "REAL" shrunken Head that will make HUGE impact as a conversation piece and piece of art one can own in a home setting like a bar or exotic study. I have also created VERY real recreations of the blow darts used by many of the Amazon type native tribes. These look SUPER cool attached to heads with artificial gut sinew lines as though they were part of what lead to the head owners fate. Anyway....see ya at Oasis!! If I have any heads unsold by then, it will only be a couple but I will take orders for a few more if demand is there. I have a CARP load on my plate this year with paintings and these heads are my once a year fun project, so please have patience if I am doing any special commission. Either way, I will display all these heads for my Oasis neighbors to view over a cold Mai Tai!! I will be mostly at Oasis to just relax...not bringing tons from HAwaii this year. I never end up seeing anything when I do!! I will share the same pool side vending suite as last year with my good friend and fellow "Tikifite" MAX (Mo-EYE) and his awesome stuff from his new company, Tabu Island! SEE YA THERE!
