Thanks... er, Mahalo for the warm welcome, everyone! I appreciate it.

lanikai = I'd like to think that the Disney Tiki look sells! I don't know enough about the art or history to really do anything else, so I'm glad that's the preferred method. I don't have to stretch my brain so much.

Granite Tiki - there is a model, in a way. I based the pose on a photograph and collaborated a bit with a polynesian dancer I know to make sure the pose and attitude were right. So there sort of is a model. She's just in several places in several people!

WooHooWahine - I'm going to work on something not so tiki-inspired next, but I liked doing this one so much I'm sure that I'll come back to this. Maybe a wahine sitting on top of a tiki. That would be fun.

Kono - will do! I'm taking down interested parties now, so I can see how many have to be ordered and painted.

congatiki - I hope they sell, I really just want enough to afford to sculpt and make more sculpts! A hula-tiki line is sounding more likely all the time...

stuf123 - I'm taking orders for them now, though they will not be filled immediately. I still have quite a few to paint... so there will be a bit of a wait. Those that confirm to buy will be sure to get one!

McTiki - thank you!
