LOL - I'm glad you ate the Moai - you could say you were "grocking" him! My husband thought you should have shellacked it - can you imagine how much shellack you would have to use and then he'd weigh a TON!

The doll bed is sweet! I live in the Seattle area and was looking at Craigslist - there was a guy selling his daughter's bed he had made in the "Tiki" style - it was really cute but I didn't need it and couldn't afford it if I DID!

I like the idea of painting the frame into the picture - kills two birds with one stone! My dad carvves, but he's into carving old world santas, so Tiki isn't his "thing" but my sister got him to carve two plaques for me for Xmas 2 years ago and he carved them with "built-in" frames. He used a go-by my sister gave him so they're not "originals" but I love them more than anything else in my Tiki arsenal!

Thanks for sharing with all of us :)
