Tile mosaic story - Collecting Tiki

Here it was before - in the condition I found it in - partially completed. It's basically a baby version of the big ones & done with a different style tile as well. I'm not sure if it was part of a kit, or maybe a DIY based off of the large kit version??: In the interim, I completed the mosaic & then the crappy frame that came with it no longer did it justice. So I had our fabulous local carver amate work on a frame for it. The frame turned out beautiful!! (You can check out amate's carvings here: http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=34155&forum=7) I am very happy with how it turned out vs. the somewhat sad piece I found. :D
