hang10tiki do coconuts grow in batches of three? I've seen a lot of paintings like that and they influenced me.

littlegiles I'll just have to try it again. See below.

================================================================================================================

Part one of the South Seas Bowl saga.

I still had a few casts that needed to be used on something. I thought, why not make a bowl with tikis from various islands.
I started with a War God by Joniece Frank of Frankoma pottery. I cut off the back and added sticky clay and

attached it to one of my coconut bowls.

I added to more tikis that she designed, one on each side.

I still had a few Moai's left so lets see how they'll fit on the bowl.

I cut off the bodies of the Moai at the right heights.

I attached two of them.

It still needed more. I looked up and saw a PNG mask.

Why not, so I fashioned the shape on the bowl.

Top view.

I started adding detail to the mask face.

Side view shows the nose is a bird.

Next I started to carve in the coconut detail.

At this point I came to my senses and cut the War God loose. It just looked off.

Since I couldn't waste a good war god I built a wall and floor that can hold a tea light candle.

The light needed a place to glow so I cut out the eyes.

Cleaned up and ready to dry.

Tomorrow I'll show you what I did to finish the bowl.

Thank you for the visit, Wendy
