These pendant/ figures are in my Creating thread but escaped notice there so perhaps this will be a more receptive audience. Chipped old Tiki spork set? Giant spoon with no fork? Whats that u say? U F'n hate tiki spork sets? You see them all the time at the thrift an' they're okay an all but u don't need more than 1 or 2 examples?

This is what becums of the thrift store tiki ware upon arrival at my abode:

This is a tiki fork and spoon... obviously.. that I had a wee bit o' fun with about 3 years back.

Here are some pendants/statues I made out of forks and spoons. These pendant/statues were made over the last couplah days on breaks from painting. They can look fun on a shelf er' round yer neck etc.

We have here L to R, Hula Ku (KULA), some straight Ku's, some "KU/Lonos", and a Moai totem pole with Ku as the top knot.

This painting used tah be a lil' barn an farm scene dun by a nun in TX, after finding at the thrift I painted the back of the wood the canvas was stapled on an replaced the green on the frame with blue. I also painted the stained frayed matting cloth an' glued back intah place.

Moai in a mid-century syle painted last night. The actual painting is about 4" by 6", the matting/frame adds another 6" or so to each measurement.

Also shown is another Moai totem pole figure or pendant with arms/antennae. I might add another lower pair of arms. Once again, made from tiki fork/spoon.

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

Found this green vintage Chinese girl lamp, painted the tiny chip on her and put a dollartree basket to good use.

with lamp on (sorry very cheap camera).

Colored lite bulbs can be expensive, so I paint lower watt bulbs with cheap acrylic paint (paints I threw out but then took out of trash cus I can't throw stuff away).

This tiki swag made of wood and hemp has a customized yaller bulb in it.

That's stuff from this last week to a few yr's back. I can post a few more ideas/projects if there is interest.
