An update is way past due. I first want to say thank you everyone that came by my table and supported me. It is always a fun event and I only wish that I wasn't stuck at my table vending while everyone is partying. Getting everything prepared for the Hukilau took up most of my time beforehand. I created several pieces that I regretfully did not photograph before the event. Most notably were a peppergrinder modeled after the Tahiti room columns in the Mai Kai, a 6' lizard, several pendants and a mask. If you purchased any of these pieces I would greatly appreciate a photo. Here's what I've got for now...

After last year's Hukilau I was approached to do the next year's pendant. I mentioned that I wanted to base the design on this.

So I started the design and completed it as shown.

Another project that I enjoyed was tying flashing fish float necklaces. It was a fun project that I shared with my daughters. They tied the floats and I finished them off with the flashers and weaving the necklaces. I have to get them re-motivated and hope to post some in the Marketplace soon.

I did a lot of plastic this year - pics soon. Here's a tease...
