Carvings from Frog Island Tikis - Tiki Carving

C cy Tiki Socialite Gresham, Oregon Joined: Mar 10, 2011 Posts: 1666	C cy Posted posted on Sun, Mar 4, 2012 5:09 PM Here is what is new. "Tiki Tree" This was going to be a necklace but it got too big. I added a few parts that I had hanging around and ended up with this. It is 10" tall by 5" wide. It needs to be dialed in a bit more, lashed at the cross beam and painted. "The Culture of Tiki" This is basswood that I added acrylic paint to, then painted with Danish oil. I wanted to make him look like he was holding a tiki mask in front of his face. I will darken areas so the eyes and teeth stand out and then be done. "Surfin' Bird" Basswood is so bitchin'. It's like working with a super hard soap. I have also been doing some glass pieces for Tiki Caliente 4, but decided to post them in the "Crafts" section. God I hate that name.
