Ok, I guess I got a little carried away with this "Birds of the Pacific" theme (10 pieces) :D But I had a great time, thanks for your support and indulgence.

My swap partner will get their choice from my projects, hopefully they will find something they like. I have listed them in MY order of preference :)

My two favorites are the 2 whimsical hornbill mugs.


11L x 5W x 8T, about 18 ounces

6L x 4W x 7T, about 18 ounces. No straw needed - just suck on the beak!

My next 2 favorites are the Solomon Islands Hornbill Feast Bowl and the "Monday Morning in Baining" painting

13L x 8W x 7T with faux shell inlay

Watercolor and pen. Painting 11 x 11, overall 14 x 14 x 1 1/2

Next, I liked the Frogmouth Candy Dish and the PNG Birdhead Club

6W x 7L x 3T

10 x 21 inches, Indian Laurel wood with inlayed shell eyes.

The Sepik River Fighting Horn turned out good, but it ranks low on my list because I'm a functional kind of guy and this piece has no function other than a noisemaker :lol:

10 inches tall and 3 inches in diameter.

And the last few were really just for my entertainment

Hornbill Skull & Boars Tusks pendant. 2x2x6 skull, polymer clay

2 Honeycreepers made from dove decoys and polymer clay

8 x 8 PNG inspired ceramic wall hanging
