Quick post...life has been getting in the way of Tiki. Probably will have to post pretty infrequently as I am working on getting some career training right now. I was passed over on a promotion that I feel I deserved and am channeling the butthurt to professional development. Nuff said.

A few things...Trying out another project idea courtesy of Tikiskip...Tiki planter feet


will probably tweak the carve and get started on casting the molds this weekend. This will be high fire obviously. He only said tiki...and then I thought, what would Tikiskip appreciate? Kahiki Moai?
The idea is to cast the two pieces (fairly thick) and join after casting. Probably should use the template technique...but we will see how it goes. This is an experiment I am hoping to work out in the next month or so.

Mugs...the Moai are to sell, the Taki Tiki's will be glazed in the next week or two...have several of the minions done and ready as well. It takes me a long time to produce so I am changing my schedule at work so that I have every other Friday off...this should help me with the production.

Moai's - I have done 14 total, 3 artist proofs (myself, Hang10tiki and Rod@ShamefulTikiRoom) and 11 numbered. #1 and #2 are gone already. Here is a picture of #3...

Im planning on selling these for $50 + shipping through Paypal. In order to test the waters... First person that's interested in this one (#3) , PM me for details. I will sell others on eBay later after the sculptors workshop sale, in Edmonds, WA in November. If there is a good response, then I will consider releasing more to TC'ers.
