Okay artists and non-artists alike, we've seen your best (and it's AWESOME), now let's see your first! :)

I thought it would be fun to start a thread about some of our...er...not so best creations or our first creation(s) that got us hooked on all things tiki!
I'll start with my first two:

This Shag influenced guy (from one of the shag zippos) was carved with a swiss army knife and a palm sander. He was my first carving. And the first time I cut my thumb.

This Moai mug is straight out of PAD! He was my first tiki creation and my first tiki mug. He took a tumble one day, I glued him back together, bought the PAD book, and made a lamp out of him. He basked our kitchen in a beautiful red glow for many years. Our cats enjoyed his company too and liked to rub against him when we weren't looking. This, of course, caused him to tumble 3 more times, with 2 successful emergency surgeries, and one where I just couldn't find enough pieces to glue back together.
Here he is today:

I just couldn't bring myself to throw him away!

"Hey, at least I'm housebroken."
