Cheers haikai - I learnt the same lesson after a while. Always get the form in first before worrying about things like eyes, noses, mouths etc. That little bit of extra depth really goes a long way....

JP, not so sure ab out a lifetime - #2 has already fallen by the wayside somewhat. Too many distractions at the moment!

Thanks hewey - AlohaStation has already beaten me to the squid tiki - check out the marketplace. Same for the rest of you! I have 3 of Tom's pieces and they are some of my favouritest things I own!

Thanks Robin. Show mode is fully underway now and I am working towards an increasingly tight deadline (only a few days before Christmas). It took a while to get going but the ideas are starting to flow now. I had a visit from a friend of yours (and of mine now) from Hokitika a couple of weekends back - top bloke he is too.

Sneaky, you nailed it - I wanted a total contrast to the other one this time. Flat surfaces, crisp edges and some pointy bits. I can't decide where to take it next (particularly the eye) so it's on hold for the time being. Suggestions welcomed!

So, plenty of work here, but not much tiki while I get to grips with exhibitions and galleries again. The weather has been warm however, and warm weather means the Paipo Joe's Resinator is back in action for the summer:
