Broken Tiki Mug Wall Art - Tiki Carving

I was inspired to try this when I received a purchase from Ebay that rattled a little too much when it arrived. I tried my hand with carving but being that I was pleased at how this turned out I may just stick with other less labor intensive forms of expression. Also the thing is not entirely completed, I still need to trim off the pieces of linoleum and wood so it will appear to be self contained inside the bamboo... I just got a broken Kahiki mug last week and I might try again with a more authentic Mai Tai brown coloring for the "drink"! Everyone tell me what you think... I'm thinking of titling it "The Downfall of Dr. Funk" :) Full view... Detail... JohnTiki Aloha from the enchanted Pi Yi Grotto in exotic Bel Air Maryland! [ Edited by: Johntiki on 2004-02-13 10:03 ]
