I'm looking forward to seeing you and Jonelle too. Are you going to wear the necklace? Atomic Tiki Punk thank you so much I'm always trying to keep my work from looking as if it was made today. This is the last post with photos until we return from Tiki Oasis. Last night we work up with a dog going crazy like we had a prowler. I'm going to arm my house sitter with water balloons and an electrical taser. Of course my cat is a killer too. I'm looking forward to seeing many of you again and new people too. Please come tap me on the shoulder, at any time, for a visit. John-O met came up to us during dinner at the Islands and we had a great visit. You all mean so much to me. Please say come up and say hi. Guess what I made a few Bob's a while back and here are a few more to share. This is Tiki Rum Bob. He is a bit different from my Rum Barrel Bob which Dan took. This one has four bands instead of two. The rivets stand out instead of carved in. The writing is at the bottom. It says Tiki Rum Bob on the back and then on the bottom. I really like doing my own versions of PNG Bob's. A while back I did a Maori Bob for Steve Soto in purple. These take forever to carve but I like this design so much I wanted to do another in a different color. After blocking in the pattern I just start carving in the design. Looks like my cat was keeping me company the whole time. I called this June Bob because that is the month I carved it. Silly huh? When I was a kid I used to catch June Bugs under the street light and let them crawl in my hands. It had a fun tickle feeling. So June Bug / June Bob My last one is Somethings Fishy Bob. He has a mouth ready for a kiss. Lots of scales that had their sharp edges smoothed with a wet brush. A messy bottom. So that's it for photos until we return from Tiki Oasis 13. I'll have a lot of photos to share from the event. I'll be reading this thread every day while we are gone so I hope to hear what you are all up to. Cheers, Wendy
