Wendy, the Tiki Bob machine! Not meant to say your boundless creativity has anything automatic. In fact, each time you sink your hands into clay and form it into an individual Tiki Bob likeness, you are replaying the ancient creation myth of Tiki himself!:

"A Ngati Awa (Whakatane) version states that the first man was made by Tiki from a mixture of his own blood and clay, and a variant Ngati Tuwharetoa version says that the first man was made by Tikiahua out of red clay….In Polynesia, we find that in the Marquesas, Mangareva, and Easter Island, the first woman was made out of earth or sand by Tiki."

Mele Kalikimaka, Dan & Wendy!

P.S.: Looking forward to seeing the TIKI MODERN Bob painted :)
