That Zebra wood is so pretty. I like the simplicity of the piece. 8)

ALOOOOOOOOOOHA!

I worked on some wall hagings today.
The first one is my newest resin mounted on a round piece of mahogany. It was sort of an afterthought of the day, but I was pleasently suprised at how cute it turned out.
Image
This is an older piece that I did. Some may remember it from Hukilau 3 or 4 years ago. This one is mounted on a gorgeous piece of mokey pod wood.
Image
This is the same piece, but painted to look like wood and mounted on a board covered with a piece of tropical print fabric.
Image

Now for the special pieces!
My 7 year old, Brendan, wanted to get in on the fun, so he drew up these pictures mounted in classy popsicle stick frames.
A hula girl with "real" fabric skirt, and a tiki by a palm tree.
Image
Then my 6 year old, Quinn, felt left out so he made a couple too.
The first is a 4-frame picture.
1) a pineapple
2) funny square guy discovers the pineapple
3) he picks it up over his head
4) he becomes sad because the pineapple broke in half :(
The second is the same funny square guy saying, "You are cute!"
Image
They made me promise to sell them at the Chef event, so come early to get yours! :wink:

I should add a couple of things.

1) Monkey pod wood does not smell good at all when you carve it. It smells like a combination of an old barn and rotting meat.

2) Hot glue hurts! :roll:

Sorry Dave, he was snatched up by Princess Pupule on Saturday evening.
However, I have a huge palm log in my house yet just waiting to be carved. Would you like to work something out?

5' 4" with a 12" diameter, before carving of course. :fez:

One night in class, when I was bored and not paying attention, I did a couple of pen-doodles to pass the time.
For some reason I only drew half-faces.
Here is one of them:
Image
So, naturally, I carved him in bone in all of his half-glory.

For some reason this piece of bone has a lot of different colors in it.
I haven't decided if I like it enough to make a mold with it yet.
Thanks for looking!

I like him!

I know it is kind of hokey but the first thing that came to mind was those little charms from school where the girl would give the boy the other half of the heart.... only this is much cooler because it is a tiki instead of some little crappy tin heart shape.

Ditto, your comment Chip makes me think how cool it would be to do the other half with a smile or 1/2 a smile as it is :pieface:

He could be part of a logo.
The other half being the name of your business.
He could represent that logo as a pendant, like the golden arches represents fast food that kills.

That is a great idea. I never thought about carving my own logo!
