Thanks for the Bumps Laojia and Clarita, My Bad for not being around much lately!
Thanks for checking up Wendy, bring me smiles, you do and Clarita too..
Hotiki, WOW,, Didn't even know,, Snuck right up on me when I wasn't looking.
PAIPOPAIPOPAIPO, Thanks for the recognition,,Celebratory peace?? Yeah, seems we need some around here but not here.
Well I Did finish that Redwood Moai and I kept looking at him and thinking the ancients weren't done yet. I tried to ship him out but couldn't and I FINALLY Saw what they wanted so I built a birds nest on top of his hat and put in a small Ivory Bird and I guess that made the Birdmen Ancients happy because I was Able to ship him the next day,,,Seriously, thats how he got the nest in his hair.

Then My Rock and Gem Club has been asking me to do a carving class and finally I agreed to see if there was interest so I got some Soapstone and did a carving demo at our yearly Gem show this past weekend and this is what I ended up with using mostly hand files and and scrapers. Not very tiki but definitely Pacific.
Oh Yeah, There was plenty interest so there will be a class starting in January!

OH Yeah and I Almost forgot,,, A MONKEY! Someone wanted a copy of their Old Carved Coconut Monkey.
