Hey everybody!
Just wanted to let everybody know that I'm shooting to have the store on my website up and running by the end of this month.
Here's a list of the tiki themed items that are available now!
If you're interested in anything you see here, PM me, and we can set up a paypal payment if you don't want to go through the web store.
Kuddly Ku
11" of plush tiki doll cuteness.
Tiki Buttons $3.00 set of two $1.00 shipping.
Tiki On A Stick $5.00 each $2.00 shipping.
Sort if like deluxe tiki drink garnish holders... skewer a cherry on one, and adorn your favorite libation! Ku is 4" high, Lono is.5" high.
Tiki Bar Protector Gods $5.00 each $2.00 shipping.
The idea for these and the Tiki On A Stick came from a little vintage bar decoration that I have. He's a pipe cleaner figure wearing a top hat and holding a cane and a martini glass, looking completely soused. I thought a tiki version of this concept would be cool.
Tiki Votive Candle Holder $5.00 each $3.00 shipping.
Then I got into doing linoleum-block prints. The image is a print on textured paper, wrapped around the glass candle holder.
Aloha Greeting Card $5.00 each
More with the linoleum-block prints! The card is 4"x6" on a textured, fibrous paper.
Mahalo Greeting Card $5.00 each
You can see how I can go nutty with an idea... This card is 4"x6" on a textured, fibrous paper.
Mele Kalikimaka Card $3.00 each $1.00 shipping./ Set of 10 $25.00 $3.00 shipping.
I also created a Tiki Christmas Card. I had them printed by a great company I found on line. I was selling them individually, and in sets of 10.
Mini Tiki Masks $10.00 each $3.00 shipping.
I found these shaped plaques and converted them into New Guinea tiki masks. I attached little wooden circles for the eyes. They're about 5" in diameter.
Tiki Topped Boxes $20.00 each $5.00 shipping.
I found some little resin bamboo patterned boxes and I thought I could tikify them, so I sculpted (out if Sculpy) little tikis and attached then to the tops. Originally, I wanted to make a mold, so all the tikis would be the same, but I didn't have time, so each one is individually sculpted.
Tiki Tapa Boxes $20.00 each $5.00 shipping.
And more linoleum-block prints! This time, I had some little wooden boxes that I painted with tapa cloth designs. The tops of the boxes have a little window, so I did a lino-cut to fit inside. So the piece is like a little print, framed in a box... two pieces of art in one!
Tiki Lamps $30.00 each. Possibly pick up only, I'm not sure if they would ship well.
(SOLD)
I recently acquired some awesome vintage tiki shirts, but the all needed a little tailoring before I could wear them. I took the left over material and made tiki lamps!
These took the longest to make, as I had to figure out the logistics of access to changing the bulb, and wiring that wouldn't burn down the house.
I also have FINALLY receive the first giclee prints of my work. The first four prints are:
The Tiki That Carved Itself
March Of The Tiki Gods
Hawaiian War Chant
Full Throttle Tiki
$40.00 for each print, signed and numbered edition on 25. $6.00 shipping.
Each is 11" x 14", printed on acid-free Somerset Velvet Watercolor Paper with archival inks. They are all sized to fit into an 11" x 14" frame without matting (There is a border around the edge that acts as a mat), or the can be matted for a larger frame. Prints come in a protective plastic sleeve.
That's it for now... working on more stuff, which I will post soon.
Lemme know if you have any questions!
Thanks fer lookin'!
