Tiki Carving Swap - 4/7 Draw Completed - Tiki Carving

H hewey Tiki Socialite Sydney, Australia Joined: Sep 14, 2004 Posts: 4283	H hewey Posted posted on Thu, Feb 22, 2007 6:19 PM On the pinstriping forums a topic is chosen (eg. tikis was one, flying eyeballs, 50s monster movies etc etc). A month is given for artists to create a piece. Pieces must be finished by due date, or no playing. Everyone posts their art in a single thread. Names of participants are drawn out, person 1 & 2 swap, person 3 & 4 swap etc. PM each other and get addresses and post it. If we draw names then create, there is possibility one person does it straight away and the other person doesnt get around to it for 6 months... With the pinstriping swaps, what you get is what you get. You might get some killer lines, you might get stuff that looks like a paintbrush was taped to chickens beak. If you have to send it overseas bad luck. Hey - its a given I will be posting mine to the other side of the world, for everyone else its like 5% chance. Just keep it in mind and dont make it too big or heavy. Its up to the individual if they like the topic/theme, want to run the risk of getting possible crap in return, or if they have to post to the other side of the world. Other points to consider: Themed swaps? Like pirate tiki, zombie tiki, surf tiki, hot rod tiki, or we could have a moai swap, Ku swap, marquesan swap, or just keep it general. Straight tiki carving swaps? or do we want to allow paintings and carvings or anything else that might be appropriate? Who will manage it and address possible greivances? I don't think everyone on TC has a tiki bar or room or yard etc. I mean they could just make their own if they wanted more tikis to have around I think most of us would keep it smallish for postage and time restraint reasons. I cant see someone bustin out a 6 footer - if they do I hope to get them in the swap! :) :) I used to think along the "just make your own" lines sometimes, the thing I like about these swaps is seeing everyones style and indivuallity come out. If we have 10 carvers make pirates I am sure we will get 10 very individual pieces. Just look at the tiki art 'theme of the month' thing we used to do - some great and innovative ideas in there. Everyone's giving constructive feedback which is good - if we sought the details out now the more likely it will be a success :) Kustom Kahoona [ Edited by: hewey 2007-02-22 18:28 ]
