I definitely wanted a "Tiki Modern" look with this guy, and he's also based on some of those cool whittled surfer/beachcomber necklaces from the 60s that I've seen on ebay. I like the concept of some dude camped out on a Rapa Nui beach for a couple of weeks, making his own souvenir out of found stones. All my other moai pieces have been much more classically influenced and quite stern looking, so I wanted this one to lighten up a little. Once he was done there was no question he needed the chunky stone necklace to hang from, even though it meant more hours of work.

$OLD, sorry. Gotta be quick! Lono coming soon!

It was - ended with BIN.

Wow! That's really cool lookin'. I'd rock the hell out of one of those.

It did have the ebay tag when I listed it and the auction was still live but lost the tag in the edit. Kind of irrelevant at that point anyway, seeing it was no longer available and I edited my post rather than bumping it.
I'm hoping to have another one of this style (but not a Moai...most likely Rarotongan) up in few days, as well as the Lono I'm working on now....I will give them a short stint here first before ebaying next time.
Cheers!

Hey, I didn't know it was on Ebay. Damn, I missed it.
