kbgator, thanks - too late for a mold of this one unfortunately as I've corded it up, which was a lot of the work. I have taken molds of a couple of my favourite pieces in recent months, but I'm saving those for a rainy day or special events. Overall the return on making castings is pretty miserable - I probably pay about 2-3x more for materials here, and most of the year is is too cool and damp to get consistent results. I haven't abandoned the concept of affordable mass production of my designs however - the wheels are slowly turning on a couple of projects... :wink:

Cheers Ray...when "Someday" comes, let me know!

Ben, I'm always looking at other stuff for inspiration and not just tiki. Myspace is almost as good as TC for finding interesting stuff, and I also read a few "fine" arts sites to keep up with what's happening in the wider world. We only have one little gallery here and I don't get to the city enough, so I have to get my fix online.
