hei-tiki

Posted on | December 18, 2007 | No Comments

some images showing the progression of my hei-tiki from greenstone slab to finished piece.
pretty amazing stuff!
please note the lovely soft polished finish on the tiki….not a high gloss machined finish.
this finish was created carefully by hand.
o yes, and i am especially fond of the paua eyes on one side and the cross little red wax concentric circle eyes on the other side.

a tiki for every mood…..

this beautiful tiki was carved by charlie wilson.
his iwi is ngati rangitihi tuhourangi.
i was especially thrilled to find it was a 2-sided tiki….what incredible skill to carve such a piece.
