Tiki still life photography

This piece was done for a Papua New Guinea themed art swap on the tiki forums. The grass skirt is a gen-yoo-wine grass skirt from PNG, which my nan brought back with her, from when she served in WWII - so its an awesome piece of authentic Aussie tiki culture. The carving is a PNG style carving, picked up from a vintage store in Brissie.

So here is the grass skirt and the carving I used:


and here is the final swap piece all framed up


Ive edited the pic of the carving to B&W for more vintage and moody vibe, and used the pic of the grass skirt as the background. The white border on the carving photo helps to distinguish it from the grass skirt.
