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, Jun 16, 2013 3:59 PM I've been making progress on "Makemake". He is named after the god of fertility that the early inhabitants of Easter Island used for motivation in a racing competition down steep volcanic slopes, into shark infested waters to a rock island. There they would nab an egg from the nesting terns and try to be the first back to the village with it unbroken. You can see the egg carefully tucked under his left hand or wing. They were known as bird men so I wanted to give him a beak nose and also added a rock carving found on the island to the bottom part. I used this red Tikiskip light from my bar to carve out the proper size but I ordered a blue one from him today as it will look more oceany. The top portion will have one of those cheesy looking bulbs that change color.
