(Where so far, fingers crossed, the posts have been civil and well thought out.) But then it seemed like a thread of thoughts beyond a definition of Tiki Art from people who are artists or "other crafters" (especially those who make Tiki Art which isn't particularly strict to its Polynesian source) might be an interesting companion thread. So you make Tiki Art, but what you make or the way you make it may not fall within a narrow definition of Tiki Art. Why do you as an artist feel your art qualifies as Tiki Art? Thoughts from those who collect Tiki Art would be interesting as well. Or you can go HERE and see a picture of a monkey patting a kitten on the head. So cute! woofmutt [ Edited by: woofmutt 2008-06-11 19:58 ]
