ALOHA & Mahalo for looking
Tiki 65

Welcome to "Other Crafts", glad to see you've come away from the Dark Side :lol:

Lots of cool stuff '65, I like that rotting blue shrunken head

Love 'em all, but what is the material(s)? Wood, clay, resin?

Thanks MadDogMike. The darkside was "ok" but I wanted to share the rest of my crafts with everyone. The blue one is a half creation. The face is from the 60's Monster Maker molds. It never came with hair or a neck. The hair was carved from sign makers foam and neck sculpted in Aves epoxy putty. The green one is 100% me. It was 1/2 wood carving and 1/2 sculpt.

4WDtiki. Well every question is kinda right. I carve most of my creations / shifter knobs in wood. Sometimes I add embellishments in Aves epoxy before casting. Then to make everything durable and reasonable for resale. I make silicone molds and cast in Smooth-On resin. Almost all of my shifters are cast in color. This helps when using it as a shifter knob. The color will never wear off.
Although nothing "Tiki" in clay as of YET. Here's the first thing I did in clay. But the project was covered in Paper Mache and the clay underneath was destroyed.

I really appreciate everyone looking at the collective.
