Here is a small round tiki tchotchke shelf I made out of an asian rice steamer I found at the thrift, just added a shelf and mounting. I was gonna make a real rattan one like those $2oo.oo one'z u c from the 40's, as per Gecko's suggestion about salvaging rattan rounds. Bought a rattan swivel rocker at the thrift with a stacked cylinder base of rattan rings for 30 bux but my fiancee wanted to keep the chair... go figger, she usually wants me to get rid of stuff. Anyway I found out those chairs sell new for 200 bux or more too. So I dunno if I'll ever deconstruct the sucker now. I bought a more vintage one recently (the first one was 80's-90's vintage) that is from the late 50's or probably 60's. Blah blah pttttttt! So now I have 2 swivel rockers an' no groovy shelf.

So make a rice steamer shelf, and put more clutter on it...

Here is a photoshopped detail of one of my wood dish/ acrylic paint/ cowry shell/ dentalium shell/ clam shell/ bike reflector/ shadow box tiki assemblages.

thx for looking.
