Hi everyone, I first introduce myself on tiki central at the end of 2010 and then road life kept me away from carving and internet for a while. But recently, being fed up with fixing my van (40years old mercedes), which is also my house, I decided to have a go with some antler and tried my very first 3D-kind tiki carving. I only carved some maori inspired pendants before that. My very first carving Thank's for watching any comment or advice is more than welcome Christophe Be Water [ Edited by: Cljha 2013-02-23 00:20 ] |

Thanks for your comment Amate, I will try to find some time for the next tiki, should be in birch, but I don't know yet about the size, it will depend on what I can get my hands on..... Be Water [ Edited by: Cljha 2012-05-27 11:04 ] |

Thanks Surfintiki, I would like to try some big stuff, but I live in a van with my other half and our 3 dogs, and between the bones and wood pieces (all over), the surfboards, the spear-fishing gear, the skateboard, the tools....etc, and due to the fact that my other half also do some clothe and leather work....well she might get cranky if I put a Big log in the middle of the van lol but I will find a way |

Beautiful work! Sometime when you have the space, the bigger stuff can happen. Mahalo McTiki |

Mahalo for your feedback McTiki. Hopefully, if I get lucky I should have some space within the next 2years....for the moment I'll keep with the small, but maybe bigger than the first one :wink: |

Hi, Okay, did not find time for new carving but I did finish one and braid the rest, plus I decided to start turning pearls for the closing....challenging, especially without lathe :wink: Any comment/advice/feedback is welcome |

Very nice "VAN" sized carvings. You would not want to carve palm where you sleep. |

Lava, Thanks for the comment, as for the van size carving, well, I'm okay with it, I will just enjoy even more the day I will have enough space for bigger works. |

Kia Ora, I decided to study a design by Gareth Barlow, one of the most inspirational carver for me, I post this work with his kind authorization. The original is obviously much better, but here is my version. I learned so much that I want to thank Gareth once again for the inspiration.

Hi Tikimaniacs, Ok, winter has been long, cold and actually is still running but I had lot of time to think about what I want to do and therefore I kick myself in the ass and finally made my first real tiki (as I normally do Maori style pendant).
And one bone pendant... Be Water [ Edited by: Cljha 2013-02-25 08:10 ] |
