Yeah, making your own is the only choice. That's how I got started making my concrete Tikis. I wanted more decor around the yard and house, and I didn't have the kind of doe required to fill the void w/ Ebay purchases, so I came up w/ a method of making Tikis that not only has filled my yard and home, but has enabled me to start a nice little home business and spread the joy of Tiki worldwide.
I was just wondering if any of you had funny stories about inviting the neighbors to your Luau or ordering a Zombie at Joes Bar.
We have the occaisional garage sale and I always put a few of my Tikis out on display for sale just to see what kind of reaction I get. It's hilarious. You can see them catch a glimpse of them out of the corner of their eye, and then immediately turn their entire head so as not to be able to look again. They don't smile, they don't comment, they don't wanna know. Except for the local hippie philosopher- he went on and on one time about how they resemble certain Native American totems and which spirits might inhabit them (!!! see Jungletraders "piece of wood" post!!).
Mrs. Seamus sister enjoys the occaisional MaiTai, and will come over for a visit now and then, but that's about it. Without TC we'd be lost!
