T TikiG Tiki Socialite Riverside, California Joined: Jun 17, 2008 Posts: 1560	T TikiG Posted posted on Fri, Dec 5, 2008 2:51 PM Kirby - Love the kanoo/canoe carving, its so stylish and Kirbyish..this is begging for reproductions in resin as pendants. Your work is distinctive. Thanks for posting all your stuff. What T.C.'rs may not realize is that your rumpus room is undergoing an extensive tiki refurbish. effort (which I'm proud to say I'm helping you with) and when finished, will be a KILLER little room - perfect for poly-pop escapism. I'm a little jealous because you have the area to do this with (and I rent a home and just can't do a tiki refurbishment there :( ) See ya Kirbs at the Tonga Hut tomorrow evening. Cheers! Greg

K kirby Tiki Socialite SoCal Joined: May 04, 2005 Posts: 1601	K kirby Posted posted on Fri, Dec 12, 2008 10:13 PM thanks again guys for the support.. here is the newest lil guy.. its a "coconut monkey lucky penny bank pendant"I know it s a long name but What else am i gonna call it ... this guy has been a real challenge for me.. I realy wanted to think out of the box a lil bit. I had carved a coconut monkey a few years back for suzy but it was just a one off. recently I decided to make another one to cast but i wanted to give it some functionality. I put a coin slot in the top and make it a lucky penny bank. it accualy holds about 4 or 5 pennies.figuring out how to cast this was a real challenge.this is the casts and painted version ps i just casted a batch of about 20 tiki kanoo's and posted the info over in the marketplace if anyone is interested..here is a pic of a one off painted guy I did and some pics of "kanoo army" mahalo... kirby Kirby's Island.comThe Tiki Adventure [ Edited by: kirby 2008-12-12 22:14 ] [ Edited by: kirby 2008-12-12 22:16 ]

Wandering the desert with nothing but a flute, rice and secret Shao Lin ass-kicking know how in search of your long lost brother must have been lonely. Welcome back Kirby! BTW fellow Kirby fans. Keep an eye on Freaky Boutiki Marketplace thread as an exquisite 'Vintage' Kirby will be featured in our Freaky Holiday Advent. I can't imagine it will last long as it's a perfect center piece for a collection of wall hangings.

Hope you heal up quick, though I had a nick 1/8 that size last month and it took forever to heal. If I were you, I woulda headed in for a couple stitches at the walk in... they've done the trick for me the last coupla times. Butter carves on these last guys... super nice finish on them and the kneeling Marquesan is killer! Save the booze for after the sharp tools get put away!

I really like the posture and expression of the Moai!! How tall is he? Sucks about the cut - but that all part of the fun, when you play with knives. A little superglue and a few bandaids - you'll be good as new!
