If you would like to see most of my art made just go to the "other crafts" thread. Or use this link. There are over 300 pages of step by steps for each piece of tiki art.

http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=38423&forum=18

There are completed projects on pages 1, 9 and 11 here.

I have a very old web page that shows past projects. claytikis.com

My first piece of tiki art, just the head stuck in a candle stick holder.


Take a Tiki Farm mug and add on. It becomes the

For Bullet who has both a Rat Fink and a Tiki Collection. This necklace brings them together.

My new mug Eat Drink And Be Merry Babalu Mug

The Sacramento Crawl is in October, check out the thread on the California Events Page. I'm working to make enough of these mugs by then, it's a terrific event with the Martini Kings on Saturday night at Vamps home. I hope to see you there. Wendy













A present for my friend Bullet who collects tikis and Rat Finks.

My very first work in ceramic on my own. Well I do admit to helpful hints from Notch, Babalu, Joniece Frank and Gecko. Also Duane Orzol inspired the creation of the mug. Scroll up to see the mug in clay. These photos are of the mug as it turned out for the Sacramento Tiki Crawl 10-8-10 through 10-10=10.
I document the making of this mug step by step on that CA event thread. Thank you for checking it out.

I thought it would be cool to put the Forbidden Island Tiki in a shipping crate.

My first attempt.



Final Sculpt produced for Forbidden Island Alameda Island California.


These will be available at Forbidden Island at their 5 year anniversary party Thursday April 21, 2011. I will be producing these in my studio in California.

I have a very out dated web page that shows some projects step by step, this Tiki Crate sculpt is shown there.

I was recently interviewed by Swizzle for Careless Navigator in Australia. Here's the link.

I did the Missionary's Downfall sculpt in 2009 and the mold has now been made. Gecko will produce the girl and bowl in his red dirt style in Hawaii. I have the mold for the girl only and I'll one day find the time to do something with her. I'll post the step by step for the girl on my craft page thread. Thank you for visiting, Wendy

She's wearing Gecko's big puka shell necklace.

Dang it, Gecko just pointed out that the I is missing on the bowl.

On my crafts thread I have posted the step by step for this painting. Dan asks why are there islands in the sky, why is the palm frond dead? Art Dan, you can do whatever you want. Some day I'll learn how to take a photo without glare.

Hi Forbidden Island fans. I have selected this for the glaze combo for the mug version of the Forbidden Island Tiki Crate. The statue version glaze is still in the works.

On my crafts thread page one you can follow the making of the mold for these Frankoma tikis by Joniece Frank. This one little tiki survived the horrific factory fire that destroyed the entire building. Joniece sent it to me and now it's alive again. Here are the first two I have fired. I plan to make bowls in the future.

This hula girl made to go with the Missionary's Downfall bowl is a mix of glaze and cold paint. She's the first one with a top on and Dan said NOPE keep it off.

As MadDogMike would say this is the Fire and Ice set.
Here is the Forbidden Island Tiki that is represented in my Crate art.

I have made the first Frankoma Tiki Bowl from the mold of Joniece Franks little tiki.

Someone put parts of a PBS show of our tiki collection on u-tube. Here is the link. Thank you LiddleLola for providing it.

This painting is called On The Road With Kinny and Tiki Bob


Every time I look at Kinny I just have to smile back!

My latest newspaper article. A few errors there, it should have said service men started the craze after returning from Hawaii but overall really well done. $720 was an eBay auction for the first Bloody Maori.

My Tiki Bob Art for the March 28th, 2011 show on-line.

You may have noticed how many bowls I have made based on vintage tiki designs. Dan coined the phrase shouldhavebeen bowls. He had the mugs he wished that there were bowls to match. I made his dreams come true. That's what this Tiki Bob Bowl is...a shouldhavebeen Tiki Bob bowl.

My husband Dan in his Tiki Jungle Room.

I finished off the run of 50 of the original Zombie Hut Coral Reef mugs and then I made this set of 6 in different colors. I thought it would be fun to try eBay but once again my husband Dan bought them all from me and placed them in his collection.

SCOOTIKI: MODS & GODS GROUP EXHIBITION BY ELROY ARTSPACE GALLERY IN PORTLAND, OREGON JULY 2011

I WAS SO HAPPY TO BE ASKED TO DO A WORK OF ART FOR THIS SHOW. THE REQUIREMENT WAS FOR THE WORK TO HAVE BOTH TIKI GODS AND A VINTAGE LAMBRETTA MOTOR SCOOTER. I BEGAN THE PAINTING WITH MY RIGHT HAND SINCE I AM RIGHT HANDED. I GOT THIS FAR.

EVERYTHING WAS GOING WELL THEN I FELL HEADFIRST DOWN AN ENTIRE FLIGHT OF STAIRS. I SPENT A LONG TIME IN ER HAVING BRAIN AND NECK SCANS AND ARM XRAYS. THE OUTCOME WAS THAT I BROKE MY RIGHT ARM. I WAS DETERMINED TO FINISH THE PAINTING FOR THIS SHOW SO I USED MY KNEES TO HOLD THE PAINT TUBES SO I COULD OPEN THEM WITH MY LEFT HAND. THEN WITH THE PAINT ON THE PALLET I STARTED TO PAINT LEFT-HANDED.

CHANGING TO MY LEFT HAND WORKED. I NOW THINK THAT PAINTING COMES FROM THE BRAIN AND NOT THE HAND. I HAVE FINISHED MY PAINTING IN TIME FOR THE SHOW.

FINALLY GOT A SOME THAT ARE LIGHTER.

THANK YOU MCTIKI FOR ALLOWING ME TO USE YOUR TIKI DESIGNS FOR MY PAINTING, WENDY
PS CHECK OUT HIS CARVING THREAD TO VIEW HIS TERRIFIC TIKIS.

I have these paintings and bowl for the Moai Madness show on-line July 10, 2001

A Gift From Grog.

This year the Sacramento Crawl ceramic is based on a napkin found by Duane Orzol. He is the founder of this terrific event so he deserves some credit. The Napkin is from Tiki Bob's located in the Sacramento Inn for a brief time.

This is a photo of the napkin that inspired the ceramic.

The white face and lettering are hand painted after glazing with ceramic enamel cold paint and baked to set.

For fun the opening is a volcano.

I have also glazed the bottom for a cleaner design.

2011 Tiki Oasis Burros and Black Velvets show.

Title: Poele which means Dark Night

The Show at Tiki Oasis 11

MP and Eric October checking out my art.

First Sale

Second Sale was the Poele but all I know is its new home is in Portland, Oregon.

I did two clay sculpts that will be cast and used to make resin chunk lamps by the master Roger Bodine. He goes by Roge. I'll be posting step by steps on my other crafts thread. Meanwhile here are the two completed sculpts that I've done for casting. The Easter Island head is to look like stone and the God of Light is to look like wood. He'll be painting some to look like that and others will be clear to let the light shine through.

This is the link to part 3 of three tiki blogs. We are at the bottom of this one. It sure is fun to share the love of tiki and how we have it displayed in our home. Wendy

These are my latest sculpts that will go onto a Bumatay Chunk Lamp by Roge on Etsy.
I just have to turn them over to Roge and he works his magic.

A couple of the Bumatay have been cast in resin.

Finished for my buyers 3/24/2012

Here is a comparison between my $150 small Bob bowl and the $300 Tall Bob Bowl. PM me for orders.
