Yep, you hit that nail right on the nose!!. Nice thing about Moai's is that they can look so Different and still be recognizable as a Moai. COOL! |

Alright here's the deal. A fellow TC member asked me if i would be willing to trade a hand-made Bamboo Cocktail shaker for a hefty sum of tiki mugs. Trust me, this guy really really wanted this ceramic piece. It'll take a couple weeks to completely finish this shaker but this is the design that he was looking for. |

Hey guys! The Bamboo Cocktail Shaker is fully built! Now i have to wait for it to dry, and then fire it, then glaze it and fire it for the last time! So here's the pictures i took of it today. |

Cool stuff, PockyTiki. Nice to see the fruits of your labor. But could you please stop changing the subject of this thread?! I keep thinking a new thread was started when it turns out to be the same thread with new stuff added. How about keeping the first part of the subject the same and just add " - (new bamboo shaker on page 9)" whenever you have something new. That seems to be the accepted etiquette. Mahalo |

Just for my own edification, Pocky, are you here looking for an honest critique of your work as an aspiring professional artist? |

I am having a Beachin flashback. Keep trying Pocky. Your skills will get better with each attempt. Its super cool that you are just trying. Many folks wont even do that... spend more time analyzing the characteristics of what bamboo looks like. Try a flat top instead of a bulbous sort of bishop chess piece kinda thing. I would work on something more like a mug where the seal at the top is not a consideration. A shaker would be a really tough thing to make from ceramics because the liquid would leak like crazy from that lid. Even tight plastic shakers can leak... dont give up and understand where you sit in the spectrum of artists here when seeking feedback. I am always learning from the true artisans here...

No actually i never asked for a critique I just wanted to see people's reactions. Mind you i showed it to TikiSkip and he thought it was really cool cuz it was pretty much what he was envisioning. So that's my story. |

Alright I'm just gonna shut up for a few days guys. I've been notified by numerous persons and I'm gonna take their advice to heart, considering I like it here in this community and I'd like to get to know all of you. I'm used to a different Forum community and it's still in my blood. That's why all the numerous posts in one day. I apologize for my blabbering thusly i shall remain in solitude and sit back from TC for a couple days to suck it all in the right way. Peace. |

"So basically this is just a big Show-and-Tell handjob"-PurpleJade I like Pocky. We can certainly use one Pocky around here. Its certainly not easy to hand build, most tiki related ceramics are carved or molded from a carved piece. But Pocky you are a lucky guy. You get the chance to look over all the old posts and see great tikis for the first time. I see nothing of interest in the general area for the last few weeks and at least I like seeing a young guy posting new stuff (regaurdless of level). |

Hit the nail on the head there dude. Nice work. Pocky, I found my art grew in leaps and bounds when I took on the established artists feedback on board. Give it a go, hell a couples of go's to get comfortable with it. If something doesnt work for ya, stop it and do something else. Experiment. Have fun. Make lots of tiki crap becuase thats what gives ya a big goofy smile. Share it with us, and grow as an artist by taking on feedback. Hugs and kisses (in a manly way) from Handjob Hewey :) |

Hey all, guess what!? My posts per day have gone down! hehe, anyways. I'm compacting all my posts here so here are some Moai inspired doodles and drawings i did today in school. I also found some cool South Pacific articles in national Geographic which you can see in the General Tiki thread. |

alright, in art class i made a new rubber stamp. Of course this HAD to have a tiki on it of some sort, so it's a tiki ...guy...thing. He has a tiki head, human-esque body and in one hand he holds a coconut mug, the other, his surf board. I printed some out, but they weren't worth saving, so i just took a pic of the main stamp. Here he is. |
