Yes, Another mind boggling piece from Paipo. I Really love the empty spaces and can't help but wonder how you get it so thin in so many places. Its like walking on egg shells you never know when you will break through. Another one I can't wait to see finished.
(Will I start off the Ghost page again?)

hey Paipo,
long time no see for me but it's good to see you havent lost your art of killing everyone with unique designs - awesome stuff!
guess what I finally got my hands on the tang you sent me, only a year or so after it set out on its journey! It's unreal I love it  happy happy happy as the master says around here
I will now set about making sure the other half of the package makes it to the right person in another foreign distant land...
cheers, harro

Cheers Kinny, Ben, harro and Clarita! Harro- stoked you got your Tang finally. Good luck getting the other guy to his final destination!
I should've posted this one yesterday, but I see TC is still sporting its Halloween colours so I guess I'm not too late. Fresh from the swamp - here's #55, "Revenge of the Creature":
This is one of the smallest stone tikis I've done (especially for the level of detail) at just on 1 1/2" (37mm) long.

Awesome - I love it, and the spirit mask.
But your stuff is always awesome. So smooth and refined, simple lines yet so complex.
I really don't know how you do it.
Congrats Paipo

Nice latest trio (spirit mask/creature/tusk)!
I enjoy the diverse range of visual/cultural influences in these 3 carves.
They are all so different yet all are done skillfully with a definite individual aesthetic quality/resonance.

Oh double wow! The creature it's amazing! This time out you took, it's totally paying off! These last two guys look so complicated, the mask it's stunning, all that organic texture and detail, and the creature have so much volume, i didn't think possible to make! Is it just me or you got even better?! I'm drooling drooling....! Congrats!

Right here! Still carving...just:
Sorry I haven't been keeping up with my thread very well lately - it's getting into a hectic time of year and I can't seem to squeeze in all the projects I should be working on. Thanks for all the replies/bumps!
I will have more pics (of the above piece) and more finished work to share very soon....
