Jason, you may have to wait a while :D It will be a few months before I'm done with this project.

LLT - I have a secret 'pus planned

Beadtiki - starfish are defininately in, I'll have to check out the "branchy" ones. The sea fans are too thin to be made from ceramic but you can buy real dried sea fans instead. I will be using some real stuff in this mixed media project like shells, etc.

Hiltiki, gotta have seahorses. Here's one but he's not very vibrant, more camouflaged

The seahorse is mounted on a metal sculpture sea grass. There is also a nudibranch or sea slug on the rock base. Some of this stuff is just "sketches" or experiments. I can see now that the slug needs to be crawling over the corner of something so he exists in 2 or 3 planes.

Next, I need to start working on the "Tiki" aspect of this project.
