Poly Pop,
Don't listen to Bongker, he doesn't know what he's talking about; (Everybody knows you never wear shoes in the
tub of water.)
Thanks for the complement on the Aku.
The texture is a result of the original
surface after shaving smooth before
household latex paint covered the original foam and stone stain colored the copies that were cast from Vitex and burlap.
The mold was made of latex rubber and is in two parts-front and back,which are
sealed together to form a hollow cast tiki
that is 7.5 feet tall and weighs 150 lbs.
