Vail, you waited long enough! Here is the artist himself getting psyched, only moments before the drawing of the famous "Turkey"! LOL
For some odd reason he seems to prefer to draw it shitless? LOL  Lovely nails though! 
and here it is!  [Show/Hide Quoted Message] (Quoting Message by Vaillant 3.0 from Tuesday, September 01, 2009 10:15:43 PM)

Oh, piece of cake! With the right master, I am a quick learner! Lump of clay, wet it down, stick those suckers on loading the beads on a needle or coat hanger.
Hey, if it proves too difficult, I could always cop out and do the very common "stick a broken mirror" all over it. Two colored ones for eyes. Got it covered. Funny, as my mother has a planter in the form of a huge duck on her porch (came from Mexico, of course) for the longest time. My sister and I are going to fight over that giant disco-ball looking sucker! It is an heirloom!
Ok, sorry to say that the party must end. Did a five mile run with hills today and, while all hot and sweaty, decided to run my computer over to the office where I got to doing a bit of prep work for tomorrow. That was hours ago and I think I must smell as Calvin won't come near me.
Always a pleasure, ladies. CYAlls laters!

Bet it's harder than what is looks. those are very tiny beads! Got to keep them in place and remove the excess clay without getting the sculpture too wet.

Actually, I don't think they're that hard to make. I bought one for my older nephew (a cool gecko one) when my mom and I went to Puerto Vallarta two years ago. Looks like all you need to do is design the pattern, set tiny beads onto a clay sculpture, and voila! Instant seller!!

That looks like far more work than cutting the husks of coconuts and making bikinis! Too much detail for Guid! LOL

I have another idea!! Why not make animals out of beads?Babies like these are getting pretty popular in those touristy beaches!!

| No, no. I am thinking more along the lines of whittling the coconut down into something. Them suckers are heavy, you know.
