MadDogMike, thank you for stopping by again.

Tiki Joe's Pop, thanks for the kind words. Maybe I was watching too much TV when I designed this one. Not sure where the inspiration came from.

Benzart, you're the one with incredible stuff. Thanks for your kind words.

Laojia, yes, it does have an organic feel to it like H.R. Giger's art, though not nearly enough of the creep value.

JohnnyP, thank you!

Tikigodz, thanks, your stuff is coming along great as well.

Seeksurf, we Boners try. Thanks.

The BigT, thanks. It does have some movement to it for sure.

Clarita, thank you for the compliments.

OK, time for a little update. I took a break for a while to work on my Shrunken Head Jack-in-the-Box for the art swap (which ends today), but am now back to inhaling bone dust. Offered for viewing are three new pieces.

First up is this hook, played around with different ideas. I wanted something substantial but not heavy looking.

I also tried making the hole for the cord to pass directly through it. It guarantees that the piece won't flip on ya.

Next is this little koru pendant. I wanted to get more of the fern look in on this one.

Sorry for the grubby fingers. I should wash-up before taking photos, or get a stunt hand.

Lastly is this little curved pendant. A spin-off of my medallion that I carved a few weeks ago. Shallow relief of a Hawaiian styled hei matau.

I really liked worked on this curved piece, as it allows for some great light action, which is great for such shallow relief work.

Thanks for looking all! If you're in the USA, today was the day to file your taxes or an extension. I hope no one forgot. Aloha and enjoy your impending weekend!
