Mai Tai's request sounds like more of a how-to. WHAAA ? Uh-uh...I like the "how-to" posts the best...the process...so we can all learn from the people who have done spectacular jobs already. I DO like to see the awesome finished product too, but being a creative spazz when it comes to this stuff, I really am more interested in the creative process, being that I have no real creative ability in that dept. Here's my post... I will also add that the exterior and landscaping of one's outdoor tiki paradise is just as fascinating and educational...ie: what plants to choose, and landscaping materials. My wish is for a HGTV style thread for sharing ideas, designs, building methods AND the beauty shot of the final product, as you can really get great ideas from the way people put together their home bar and other home Tiki spaces. The key difference to me in the "creating tiki" environment is whether one is alot of artists post their art in progress, but it may not be for their home, it may be for a show or an event, in which they will sell the artwork, and not for their home bar. I do see you point about each bar is a series of mini projects tho'....I guess that takes some figurin'... Do you have your TIKIYAKI ORCHESTRA CD YET ? http://www.myspace.com/tikiyaki http://www.tikiyakiorchestra.com [ Edited by: tikiyaki 2010-01-27 12:55 ]
