But in the words of G.W.Bush " it would be easier if it was a dictatorship". Freedom of choice out the window. Hewey , you get the Koa Pocket Moai and you'll like it. Only joking Hewey, I hope you like it. All joking aside there was a lot of great pieces created by all the artist involved. http://www.eibass.com [ Edited by: AlienTiki 2007-04-09 02:49 ]

You take on complex pieces straight out of the starting blocks not just one but several, I know it leaves me and other amateur stoners in awe and pushing ourselves to take on more complex stuff (check out Perry's thread) Keep up the great work Amy Regards Flynny Flynny, that is so nice!!! Thank you so much for letting me be part of this. Watching this and other threads pushes me to get better, I am really trying and I owe that to you, all the others, including the masters! Amy

P pdrake Tiki Socialite las vegas Joined: Jan 13, 2006 Posts: 1771	P pdrake Posted posted on Tue, Apr 24, 2007 7:15 PM yeah, um, i've been putting a lot of time into it. once i knew it was going to a master i wanted it to be a true work of art. just notice how much i've posted in the past couple of weeks. nada. i'm in a serious slump after the tiki farm sale. i know, get back on the horse and all, but sometimes it's hard. i don't want to destroy the piece and end up with a piece of crap, which is what has been happening lately. i'll get right on it tama. promise.

I hope he likes it. Its tradional Moai. I think I make better lemoncello then I carve, but Paipo will have to make that decision...lol Amy

Can't wait to find a place for them at the bar. Thanks again. You're very welcome Aloha Station! Thanx for being a sport about me being late shipping. I took even more time because the photographer scuffed the corners up a bit so I touched them up and revarnished them before shipping.

Could it be my tiki or was my wife getting me some supplies for my fry daddy? Fortunately, for my heart, it was the tiki you made. Thank you, I know you spent a lot of time and money getting it to me. My little guy won't give it up. He is even taking naps with it. Cheers, Will

Was there a third piece in the box I didn't find ? :wink: I'm very happy with my replacement piece - you've really done an impressive job and the photos didn't do it justice. I love the rich chocolate brown colour of the stone you used, which seems pretty similar in structure to my beach pebbles.

The maori is a cool piece that I am glad you like, I really worked on it to make it finished looking.I have been getting better with my pebble choices too. I will work on the ones you sent me this week.... I am happy happy happy :) Amy
