thanks again guys for the support..
here is the newest lil guy.. its a "coconut monkey lucky penny bank pendant"I know it s a long name but What else am i gonna call it ... this guy has been a real challenge for me.. I realy wanted to think out of the box a lil bit. I had carved a coconut monkey a few years back for suzy 
but it was just a one off. recently I decided to make another one to cast but i wanted to give it some functionality. I put a coin slot in the top and make it a lucky penny bank. it accualy holds about 4 or 5 pennies.figuring out how to cast this was a real challenge.this is the casts and painted version 
ps i just casted a batch of about 20 tiki kanoo's and posted the info over in the marketplace if anyone is interested..here is a pic of a one off painted guy I did and some pics of "kanoo army"
mahalo... kirby

You could probably hang them on the Christmas tree as Tiki ornaments, too!

Oh man! These Monkeys are the greatest!
Has Susannah seen these yet?
I guess those couple years of incarcer..oops, I mean introspection paid off big time! Wandering the desert with nothing but a flute, rice and secret Shao Lin ass-kicking know how in search of your long lost brother must have been lonely. Welcome back Kirby!
BTW fellow Kirby fans. Keep an eye on Freaky Boutiki Marketplace thread as an exquisite 'Vintage' Kirby will be featured in our Freaky Holiday Advent. I can't imagine it will last long as it's a perfect center piece for a collection of wall hangings.

Wow great carves! Bad cut. Sorry dude. I've broken the "don't drink and carve" rule myself before. Definitely a no-no.
