check out Tiki#13 History!
The 13th tiki sculpture by CrazyAL, "Keeper of the Charm", is a tiki of great importance.
It has been bestowed with the care of all tiki neck charms. Yes, the very neck charms of our memories.
Tiki #13 holds sentry over those neck charms that we bestowed with our own fortunes.



Hangin' Ten is the inspiration for carefree living. In this spirit of carefree good wishes, Tiki #13 was the first of CrazyAL's sculptures with Ten Toes Hangin' Free.




CrazyAL incorporates the "Buddha" concept into an original art piece. "Keeper of the Charm" is the original 'Budda'. You can read all about how CrazyAL developed this Buddha Tiki in the back issues of Tiki magazine. Here: and Here:

CrazyAL's Tiki#45 is another 'Tiki-Budda' style of sculpture. (Respectfully misspelling Buddha as "Budda"....Another long story... Read more about it here in Tiki Magazine) Read about PartII in the 'Budda' story here:


CrazyAL's first "Budda" is a tribute to Tiki Pendant Collectors of Old!
Tiki#13, "Keeper of the Charm" Cir. 1998, was created before the resurgence of 'Poly-Pop' proliferation of pendant production.
Tiki Charms where Hard Found and Most Charished!




CrazyAL's Hours of Beachcombing Gave Tiki#13 a Perfect Set of Choppers!
Hundreds of 'Sea-Shell Fragments' where collected.
Shaped Only By Mother Nature Herself!!!





CrazyAL Tiki#13 became the iconic image for CrazyAL's Bone Productions and the personal style of it's creature.
