I must admit I'm a bit overwhelmed by the comments I have received so far. In spite of his humble remarks, I consider any comments by Sven to be like Bob Dylan commenting on my songwriting. (In case you, unlike me, are young folks, Dylan is an old guy who wrote a couple of good songs a long time ago) Sven, I am thankful for your honesty in your opinions of my work. I am a victim of my own imagination in my work and that is what I'm trying to improve on. But, I also want some originality in my work as well. I have collected primitive mask from many cultures since I was 13, and I'm sure some of those styles have crept into my work. I'll keep trying. Thanks so much for your input ....

Wendy thanks for your heads-up on Sven. I'm an old guy who has lots of computer experience, but lacks the online hipness of you younger folk. This screen name stuff throws me off a bit and if I was more with it I would have noticed it was Sven's posting. I also appreciate your comments on creativity in Tiki creation. I have been really torn on what direction to go with my work. And, what you said about pleasing myself first, I think is really good advice. I think I will be stuck in the middle of pleasing myself and trying to be authentic for a while, but I will have some fun trying.

Mr. Mad Dog, thanks much for your comment as well. I have noticed your many fine opinions as I have been scanning this site for quite awhile. A positive reply from you is nice boost for this would be artist ......
