Thanks for the invitation to participate. Personally, this one is out of my league but I promise to watch this topic closely and make an attempt whenever possible.
I thought of one thing that is pretty simple and nearly anyone could try: Carving a candle into a tiki. It takes only a candle (any size or color) and exacto knives to carve. I did one of these on a whim and found it was pretty fun. When the carving is done you just brush off the remaining wax crumbs with a small paint brush and then use a hair dryer to heat it up and melt the wax dust in the cracks and anywhere else it is necessary. Mine turned out better than I expected.
Oh and about the card deck...I'm not an illustrator or graphic-capable person so would someone please consider doing a card of the #8 featuring a charicature of our big buddy the 8FT Tiki???? I would LOVE to see that!!!
