His friends may start to thinkhe is slipping or something, so why not just prevent all that anguish for him and let me hold it for awhile, maybe GROG "Soften" later and may want it again, who knows, wha'd'ya say? Noone does this style better than PAIPO!

P Paipo Member Aotearoa / NZ Joined: Jun 22, 2006 Posts: 1886	P Paipo Posted posted on Tue, Jul 8, 2008 5:04 AM Ben - OK, I'll admit it, I have been holding out a little. Thanks for all the encouragement (from everyone), which directly fuels the urge to create more tikis. I've got one more big deadline to meet and then I can settle into a more relaxed mode of creating. When I made GROG's piece, I actually started a group of 3 in the same style. Here's the second one finished. I don't know why I didn't make more of these sooner (I LOVE using MOP shell, possibly my favourite material), but there will be plenty more to come. After 3 Marqs I think I need to try a different style for the next one... I also finished a commission piece based on one of my early jade series: "Rei Puta"

P Paipo Member Aotearoa / NZ Joined: Jun 22, 2006 Posts: 1886	P Paipo Posted posted on Sat, Jul 19, 2008 2:02 AM OK, that was weird...there wasn't a page 10...at least til I made this post? cue Twilight Zone tune..... So, I got tricked into posting by some weird server error, but I don't have any new stuff to show today sorry - I really want to get that Cannibal Charm finished, but I'm plugging away on a large group of other pieces and have decided to keep on it til it's done. I will say thanks again for all the replies though. Looks like everyone digs skulls - I know I sure do. Plenty more to come! PS: No fancy tricks for this skull either - it's too small and delicate to do anything with except inlay (but I may use the cord to hold it in place). I think I will paint the interior of the cranium with black enamel too, so the eyes pop a bit more.... [ Edited by: Paipo 2008-07-19 02:21 ]
