I thought, in an effort to get all of these in one place I'd consolidate my pendant/jewelry photos from the past. Here they are!

I love my hair ornament. That look so good on my shelf, and a really big oceanic art specialist was amazed to know it's current.
Thanks again BK.

Thanks for doing this - I think there are a few galleries around here that need to be rehosted/reposted for the benefit of newer members such as myself. Nothing is more frustrating than reading a thread full of "Wow!" where the pictures are all gone.
All very fine work BK, and I can see you're as big a fan of Marquesan art as I am.

Alas...Just found a workshop between Danielsville and Athens! Bigger than the legendary Volcano! Building a full downdraft setup for my bone carvings...just bought a powerful little snail motor from Canada. Time to get to work (now that I have a place I can call work!).

Thanks for doing this.

That's a great body of work you've got, BK. Ever thought of putting out a book?

Nice, nice, niiiiiiiice!

BK
Basement Kahuna posted on 01/04/2007

Thanks, Dav, but Lord, no! I think I'd have to have a few more accomplishments before I ever thought about a book..I think Sam Maloof had a right to write a book about himself, but not me! Leroy Schmaltz, Barney West, Milan Guanko, Benzart, Ed Crissman....now that would make a good book! Eli Hedley-that book's been done, and that's a great book :)

Fantastic work, Basement K! These two in particular stand out for me.

Very unusual. What's their story?

BK
Basement Kahuna posted on 04/19/2007

Thanks, Dav...The top piece is a type of Maori gaurdian spirit called a Marakihau. The second piece is the Solomon Islands god of the ocean, Ngorieru. The way the original petroglyphs of that piece are drawn I had to interpret the flow of it a great deal. That piece is being cast as a pendant for South Sea Arts. Aloha! BK

The second is being cast, I think that first one should too.

Hey BK, Really Happy to see you spending more time on your cords too. Lookin Pretty tight there chief! What material are you using now, artificial deer sinew? If so that stuff works well adding some beeswax. looks like you are doing that to. last questions, What burs are you using especially on that fine detail?
