Wow!!! This looks like a great collaboration so far! Great artwork and great handiwork! Is this where the line forms to ask to purchase one? If so can I get in line?

Wow those look great! Great carving by G, great ceramic work by Poptiki. Should all add up to a great piece of tiki-art.

Just to clarify...I have credit for NONE of the craftsmanship on this. I just talked G into letting us borrow the Biter for a bit to see if we could do something collaboritave. Artists working together, coming up with new stuff, that was my goal...I just brokered the deal.

As far as getting one...we're planning on doing a run of a few in the brown in the semi-near future (might be a few special ones too - we'll see), but we'll post the details about that in the Marketplace. I want to keep this all about the work.

Thanks for looking, and, again, Nice work G and Pop!

I'm hearing you there! I gotta stop being lazy with my moldmaking.
These look really good, it's surprising no-one's tried it before really. Larger ceramic tikis(for the wall)are all the rage over here.
How big are the original and the copies?

And just think, the amount of clay used is probably only a couple of pennies worth of material. I'd probably be interested. The ceramic tikis charms at this piont are more rare then bone or jade, (there is just less of them around) That will probably change in a month or two.

Whaaa!

That metallic is spectacular! I also love the matte/satin brown and speckled silver metallic. Really nice work - I imagine those are very tricky to stilt when firing. OK - I just looked back at the pics and I have to add the red one to my list of faves - a tough call as they all look great.

Whoah... making molds, casting, firing!
Nice. I spent years doing casting is college when I was studying sculpture. Seems you worked your okole off for these little buggahs! You may want to try a latex mold which will eliminate almost all "clean-up". With latex molding compound, you can make a nice "one-piece" mold that wont require the extra work and, you wont have to worry so much about the "mortality" rate!

let me know if you need any kokua! Again, I dig 'em!

A Hui Ho!
