Made this little fellow for someone who gave me some stone carrots. Kind of marble I guess from France

Tiki's are tricky.

Natives are very protective about the designs. :) :) :)

Keep them coming.

Nice to see you here. Are you still in the south seas?

Nice Tiki!  Very graceful lines on the piece.  Great polish too!   :icon_sunny:
I think I need more coffee though, as you have no idea what my brain thought I was looking at initially with that picture, and I had to do a double take.   :laughing6:

Thanks a lot.
Kurt : I find tiki hard to create and the design are never easy! For this one I took a lot of freedom, as anyway the marble was already from France. C'est un métis, as we would say in French! But I don't really like to make tiki, so it might be on orphan!
Lithibeads : yes still in south seas, for at least 2 more years. Enjoying the life far from the turmoil of the world!
