killer work, tama!! so cool.

:lol:

Anyway, I had a great night with the man in question (out at his pad) a couple of days back, and enjoyed a rare opportunity to have a full night of drunken Stoner rambling - there were 4 stone carvers in attendance altogether :D
Seeing all the tasty green goodies on Tama's bench (including the now-legendary "box"!) gave me the urge to get back into some jade myself. I'm now clear of all deadlines and commitments for quite some time (bar a couple of commissions) so there will be more tikis coming soon. I have two remakes underway already, and a pile of new ideas and styles I want to play with.

Anyway, here's the latest - a variation on the big sculpture I did late last year. This one is certainly a lot easier on the wrists! This stone has worked out far nicer than I expected - it's quite oxidised, but still very tight and is carving beautifully. Definitely a sleeper! I need to remember to take a pic of the untouched stone first next time though....
