I'm Terra - my husband Big Mike is an artist (sculptor/carver mostly) and we've done a few events, so I may have met some of you in person. My intro to tiki, like many others I'm sure, was the Enchanted Tiki Room at Disneyland. It was a favorite for me when I was a kid. I spent a number of years as a professional lush :) and came to love tropical libations - although I don't partake much anymore now that I am a Mama. I really got into tiki, though, when my husband and his friend (Stone Primitive) were doing these cool concrete trophies for local paddle boarding contests. If anyone's ever been to Hennessey's Tavern, you've probably seen them. A couple of years back, Mike busted out the sculpting tools again and we've been easing our way into business for the past year or so. It's been a fun ride so far. I look forward to meeting many of you at various events this year! Terra Swangulo Design - Tikis by Big Mike http://www.myspace.com/swangulo
