Hi Gene, welcome to the tiki art world. There is so much joy creating tiki. Just in case you don't know bigbrotiki is Sven the author of The Book Of Tiki and Tiki Modern. He and Otto of Tiki News really started the craze that is tiki today. To have him post on your thread is an honor. He answered your question spot on but now remember that tiki artists in general bend all the rules to create tikis. There are tiki designs from other planets to robots and monsters. You just get to decide what you enjoy doing and what it looks like.

My husband is a major collector and he doesn't collect every thing. He collects what he enjoys looking at over and over again. So if looking at your art gives you joy you are on the right track.

You should join the digital thread on the Creating Tikis "other crafts" forum. There is a wonderful discussion of digital art versus traditional art and you should be a part of that. I WAS JUST TOLD YOU HAVE BEEN CONTRIBUTING TO THIS THREAD. TERRIFIC.

Enjoy being part of a super wonderful community. Cheers, Wendy - danlovestikis
