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"

I'm loving your breastplates!! Even your contemporary pieces are very cool. They may not be so tiki but Paipo + stone= tiki..... to me anyways.

Grog's pendent is excellent. The stone and shell are perfect complements to each other. This is a fantastic piece. Just don't send it to Grog until he cancles his to do list.

Thanks fellas - all of those pieces are on their way to new homes as we speak, so I guess I better get cracking on something new!
I do have an ugly little "cannibal charm" on the bench right now, so I'll see if I can get a few pics up later today....
