My piece for the current art swap
Cotton wood bark

Tiki art and a lesson in how different woods look when the grain is exposed. This is a lot of fun. I sure like that mad moai. Wendy

hang10tiki how did you do the eyes? I like this nightmare New Zealand style I'm glad you did one. He is actually cute. Wendy

Hi W
Thanx
Lil fake lava beads from a bracelet
:)

Those bead for eyes was a good idea. I have Goodwill necklaces that I buy but use them for necklaces. I have abalone just waiting for the right project too. Wendy

Nice
I have a bunch of abalone waiting as well

Cheers

Lil cottonwood piece

Wow these are great. I love the face and then looking down at the Easter Island birds, well that knocked it out of the park!
I love abalone eyes. The face is great too. Keep on going.

It was fun looking back at so many of your carvings. I'm looking forward to your update. Don't submit until you get the upload sentence after the uploading line is there. Once you have both then Submit. Cheers, Wendy

Thanks Wendy, yes I was going too fast

So in my tiki bar I have a “Rapa Nui” cabinet that holds quite a few items, imagine that. Didn’t like the plain drawer pulls and door pulls so I thought I’d start making my own:

Mango Moais and an alligator juniper Birdman:

Still have two more to go!

Little piece I made for Beer Zombie bottle shop here in Las Vegas

Two more Easter island pieces made from alligator juniper.

Two chief bowls also from alligator juniper, one was for the swap.

Ok So I wanted a walking stick, or 4

The first one I made was from a piece of eucalyptus, I trimmed my neighbors tree and kept a few branches:

Green mamba

Next was an old fence post I had in my garage, I think it’s pine, this one I wanted a coral snake winding in and out of a piece of Cholla cactus wood:

One day on a walk, I found this stick on the side of the road, thought it would make a perfect black mamba:

Lastly a piece of ash, they recently cut a tree down in a park by my house and I was lucky enough to obtain all the wood, I wanted to try my hand at painting so I went with a copperhead snake:

The gang:

(Inspiration and tips for the walking sticks obtained from Carver/painter Mike Stinnett.)

PS- did I mention the snake scales took me about an hour an inch to burn in. I think it was about 100 hours per stick! Lol

Next it was time for a little wood-burning, our pups:

Hana & Lulu (say their names together and fast)

Currently working on a 466 pound piece of ash, his name is A’a

Pics soon, I hope, I’m 120 hours in, lots to go!

So happy to see you catching up on your posts. Beautiful work hang10tiki.

Hi Wendy

A’a from Rurutu

189 hours to finish

That's an over-the-top spectacular multi-tiki work of art. Each little tiki has a personality. It's fun to look at all of your pages and to see how you challenge yourself. This one is a master work. Every one of those hours was worth it.

Thanks Wendy!!

And I’m glad you were able to see him in person. Sorry he wasn’t done yet.
