Hi guys.

No carving today as I was hanging out with my boy. (got my pendant back Ben :wink: ) He can now identify and prounounce "Moai"! Ahhh, so proud...)
The two of us dropped in on Paipo for a coffee & a chat & a perve at his latest...

Thanks Ben & BenZ!

Heath/Gman: oh Yea of little faith... :) Somehow I just knew that this one needed 'something' & when asked if the change was possible agreed straight away. Came out ok eh? I was going to make it a little, er differently, but when I saw the spot I knew it was time to stop. Couldnt bring myself to obliterate such a fortuitous gift! (the new owner likes it! yay/phew!)

**How could I have put that there Hewey? Im not that good! Wouldnt put it past Paipo though (I have a sneaking suspicion that he is a 'rock-whisperer' & carves by telling the stone what to do; and the stone agreeing... :lol: )

No names for the three heads just yet Heath. Ill have to think of something suitable & let you know next time theyre posted... (theyre about 1 1/2inches each side approx) Never done just a head before & am hoping they might just be a cheaper solution for those who cant quite stretch the budget for a whole tiki :lol: Im thinking that I might try hanging at least one of them on an angle; like the hei-tiki pose. Not sure though...

Tikigap: No, not one of mine. Pretty sure thats an Old one, but the mistake is flattering!
*Now I hope you're ok Tgap? The Maori Hei-tiki seems to have a hold on you... :lol: I know what its like to get caught by them... Better watch out; you'll be wearing one next :wink:

Cheers Everyone!
