Paipo just reminded me that I havent posted pics of this wee fella, although its possible you may have spotted him out thEre somewhere anyway, ahem.. Cant remember if he has been shown before but is another from deep within the Box, recently finished. Sometimes I worry about all the 'frozen' hours locked up in the Boxs' contents, but when the mood strikes its great to be able to pluck a 'profiled' or semi-roughed out piece and enjoy the pure carving fun of grinding or heavy handpiece work.

And this was a piece made last week:

A great learning piece this one. Like the few Tangaroa figures Ive attempted in recent months this is a full body/3-D (however flattened) and the repetition of such is sinking in more and more.. yay!

The smallest/last piece shown here (Australian Black nephrite) is also in the process of becoming a Tiki of very similar type as above, with some changes/differences too of course. These three pieces are headed for Sydney, Australia for another ehhibition of the jade-skool pals - if I can get it together in time.. Update on that later this week.
How're you doing in that regards Paip?
