You have the most interesting collection of art, there is so much variety and everyone of these pieces look great. I have fun every time I go through your entire thread and see all the amazing artwork.

I'm stoked Lono made it to you. He is truly a magnificent piece of art...living and breathing and full of character. Thanks for posting. G

wow, It was a real treat to see this thread. We are now moving into collecting more contemporary tiki art and I just put a bunch of fellow tiki centralites on the wishlist. Thanks!
oh and nice collection.

thanks guys!
g, you are so right about curly. nobody can make a hunk of wood come alive like benz. he said this is his last big piece because of his arthitic hands. i feel so fortunate to own it.
troll, thanks for the kind words. there are so many incredibly talented artists on tc. and even though there's a thread going about why are artists such assholes (or something like that), i have yet to meet a tc artist who is. great art from great peopo. i'm sure you'll have no problem filling your pad with beautiful contemporary tiki treasures.

Hi Bullet, The Lono may be the finest carving I have ever seen. Benzart rules!
The hook is terrific. It's fun to see you posted the necklace I made for you. I looked at the thread about artists being A----- and I can say I've never met one like that. Everyone has been so kind and has offered help and suggestions. Both Gecko and Babalu have helped me tremendously. Oh well. Wendy

We just got home from a fun visit with Sandy and Bullet. The Benzart Lono is fantastic. Everyone should come to the Sacramento Tiki Crawl in October to see this 8th wonder of the tiki world. Wendy
