Tiki Tako's!

These are a mix of the octopus I make and the tiki statues I make... I decided to sculpt the heads of a few of these to add some extra life into them!!

Aloha everyone! My name is Ben Burton and I've been lampworking since January of 1999. I work borosilicate primarily but I will occasionally work moretti as well. I consider myself a sculptural artist, although I enjoy making focal pendants and have recently become infatuated with making marbles as well. I live on the island of O'ahu, Hawaii and my work is constantly influenced by the beauty around me!! I hope you take the time to check out and enjoy my work!!! Please feel free to leave comments or messages. I'd love some comments and criticisms, so let's hear it.

Mahalo and Aloha!!

cool cephalopods, Ben, they have lots of character and look so determined it's almost spooky ... I hope their army isn't due to come down-under ;)

nice
Those are really fun to make, one of my favorites, don't sell a lot of them because I make em big, but just an idea..put one on a bottle stopper, those I do sell a lot of, just 2-3 inches across with a peg to put into the hole.
