I'm impressed to there and back again. The man-eating plants and jade jaguar are fantastic. As for not being tiki, I doubt Don Beach or Trader Vic would reject such decor from their establishments. I've got a few items of Mayan decor scattered about my tiki space, gifts from well-meaning friends. They blend well and add to the layers. |

Prikli Pear thank you! I'm not at all embarrassed by a Mayan wall in my "Tiki" bar LOL There are those who would argue that my bar is more of an Adventure/Explorer bar but I'm OK with that [ Edited by MadDogMike on 2024-09-22 16:54:26 ] |

I designed this fabric covered fabric column lamp so that could easily change out the cover. With the Mayan glyph fabric I had printed at Spoonflower, it looks like a stone column. |

I put up some string lights in my Tiki back yard but the pole holding them looked kinda boring. So I carved a Papuan Hornbill to put up there. Cut the 3 pieces from 2x6 with a jigsaw. A little blurry but this is the basic form. Used an angle grinder and an abrasive flapwheel to sculpt it. Didn't worry too much about details, it will be mounted on top of an 8 foot pole and viewed from across the yard. Shaped. Wings and tail cut from sheet metal. Painted and mounted to the post. |

Will, I put nylon washers on the bottom to reduce friction and a double nut on top to keep it loose but secure, it spins very well. But I don't know what it will do in the wind. Typically a weather vane has flat side to catch the wind and turn it, this doesn't really. I'll be looking to see what it does next time the wind blows. Speaking of wind, I hope you are out of the path of Hurricane Helene Will. danlovestikis I made chocolate hearts again, here's what they look like on the inside |

Love the bird. Spinning would be fun. That heart makes me hungry. We went to See's candy today. |

I've added a few more details to my temple wall, mostly 3D printed. 3D printed mushrooms (the largest is about 8 inches across) "One side makes you larger and one side makes you small..." "I went to the San Diego Botanic Gardens and bought this Staghorn fern" That statement is completely true but misleading, here's a more accurate statement "While in the San Diego Botanic Garden parking lot, I ordered this artificial Staghorn Fern using my Amazon app" LOL Life sized 3D printed Cockatiel in a ceramic "mud" nest
