Last year, i was a freshman in highschool and i was in a pottery class. one of the assignments was to make a lamp, so being fascinated with tiki, i created my own unique face which i later turned into the base for my lamp. This took me a lot of time because i couldn't quite find the perfect shade. then my mom bought this one and i don't think it looks to bad!

It brings mist to the geezer's eyes to see tiki so strong in a young one. Constructive criticism? Lamp shade bigger, more polynesian. Base smaller, browner. That my own children had such talent! Sigh...
