I loved TikiToa's idea with the shrunkenheads so I thought it would be cool to do one with Moai's. |

Bamboo Dude - Doug, I have now entered the secret chamber and entered the ranks of the TC "Grand PooBahs". Funny, I thought the Grand Member thing was automatic when you made about 10,000 posts! Little did I know that you really do have to bribe Hanford! It's well worth it though if it keeps this place running. I think I have to wait for my credit to clear before I can enter the secret chamber, though. Jade, I have really admired your work, what I have seen on TC. Incredible detail and style! Aaron |

I, as well, have a moai as my first attempt at tiki "art." Here's ol' Crackhead: Image Missing: http://images6.fotki.com/v93/photos/1/123827/459410/D02-vi.jpg Image Missing: http://images6.fotki.com/v93/photos/1/123827/459410/D03-vi.jpg He's a little fella carved out of some unknown found by the road wood that is as hard as tempered steel. Fear not, professional carvers! I am HIGHLY unmotivated and this little bugger took me at least two months to complete, averaging two to four minutes a day of carving time before I got distracted. I've got a couple other pieces on the ultra mega slow assembly line. They should be done within the next few months. Or so... :) |

That's kool, Kono. Kind of has a kitschy "Herman Munster" feel to it. Even more appropriate since it was carved from spare wood found on the road. It's got great campiness to it! |

FinkDaddy, That's a bad ass bar!

I get it now. The connection between fez/Shriner/tiki... these guys were found in line, like they were facing a bar. The wooden bars deteriorated ages ago and the early explorers pinched the glasses. |

Thank you. Ah, I'm cheating these days. I'm taking the ink work and scanning it, then putting the colors in on the machine. 15 years of working on a Mac have eroded my manual skills. I want some nice, vibrant inks (not to be found in this neck of the woods) – but I'll probably get impatient and use watercolors. Still looking for a style. All the artists and carvers in these "Creating Tiki" threads, just blow me away. Phenominal stuff in here. |

foamy, that's nice work. I know artists who do the ink work, copy it with a printer, then paint watercolors onto the copy to avoid the ink running. |

Hey Sam, thanks, and that's a clever idea. What kind of paper do they use? I've got an ink jet, would that work? When I've painted over ink before I've gotten a kind'a red-ish bleed around the ink lines. The printer idea is something I'd like to try. Any more info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. |
