Tiki Island bowl and removable volcano with two tikis. =============================================================== This mug is based on this album cover and was made for the MadDogMike December 24th 2013 swap. ================================================================== These two mugs were designed by lunavideogames as a wedding gift to friends Nate and Keri. One is based on the group Ween and the other on the Buffy and the Vampire TV show. These were Wish List mugs. ==================================================================== This time I added a skirt to my hula girl cast and it turned out just as I'd hoped. It's now in Dan's collection. ============================================================================= I did a Bastard Bob for hang10tiki and this one was made for Dan. MP came up with this idea and has allowed me to make them too. Another Wish List item. Wish List #4 completed on 4/30/14 My wish with the crackle glaze. It came true. Dan's Moai bowl wish. Tiki Hula's Zombie Village mug. Tiki Hula's AL DEAD bowl. Gold paint may go on the lettering and sword this weekend. kingstiedye's Frankoma shakers. Chippy's Maori Mug. Corona Contessa's Zombies torch. dartharnie's wishes. Float necklaces were a gift for his daughter's, they match their bowls. The front of their bowls. The backs and inside. NY Yankee's mug for his dad. Front. Back and the side. A Frankoma War God tea light holder. The back was modified. DooWop's mug for Jerry's Jungle Room ebtiki's Suffering Bastard Bob. The flash made him look like a vampire. hang10tikis wishes where for a huge necklace. I included this photo because the color is closer to the actual color. He won this mug on one of my contests. LoriLovesTiki's Maori wall hanging. MaukaHale Tiki Tapa Bob Miss Monk-ii's up next with her Bumatay fish with fins mug. Side. Ocean back. Miss Monk-ii's next wish was for a Zombie Torch mug in light green Moai Mike's mug weighs like it is made of rocks. Good to exercise when lifting it to drink! Mondo-by-the-bay had five orders. The first was a Volcano Bob with palm trees and a small tiki on the back. Next was a King's Goblet. My photos are funky, it looks much better in real life. This is Tapa Bob and the colors are deeper in real life. More yellow and darker brown. This is Drunken Bamboo Bob. Even his eyes are off. Last is a Bumatay Bowl with fins. Tavarua Tiki's King's Place of Refuge Goblet. It's always a challenge to copy something rather than to just make it. There were a lot of details to these tikis. These photos show the real color better. Tiki Wahini's Rat Fink in Disneyland took me back to jr. high where I was obsessed with carving these in soap. VampiressRN's Zombie Torch was the last I made for this Wish List. All three together. WaikikianMoeKele (I have the spelling memorized) had this Hello Kitty made as a gift. =================================================================== I kept everything until the entire Wish List #4 was completed. I did this so that I could take a group photo. Tiki Hula helped me. I figured out that putting them on the stairway was the best way to display them. However the walls showed a lot. Tiki Hula said, I'll fix that with photoshop. So after the photo shoot Dan boxed up all the tikis to ship. Horrors the next day I found that I'd missed putting Kele's statue on the stairs. I thought this photo was all I could do. But NO! Tiki Hula to the rescue. He took the little statue and added it to the final photoshopped picture. ==================================================================== TIKI POP I hope that it's OK I'm going to post a few photos here from the book. We love the book. Talk about pounds of History. My scale goes between 5.5 and 6 pounds of Tiki goodness. Every page is covered with photos. Sven has done it again, he's a master. He'll keep Tiki on everyone's radar. Thank you SVEN. Off facebook today I borrowed this photo that shows the size. I'm showing a tiny amount of photos that made my year if not more. We love Gecko'z art and what a thrill to see he's holding one of my Bloody Maori heads that he had altered. This is my own photo. He's in the photo with kingstiedye aka Bullet. Another page shows work by GROG and Bosko. Another page shows Doug Horne, Derek Yanger, Tiki Art Shark and little lost tiki. I'm so happy to fine one of Roge's Tiki Chunk Lamps. I did the sculpt for the tikis on the sides. That's an Eric October on the right. The ultimate for me was the page with my Zombie's Torch mug. I didn't show much of the book. The last image of my torch is on page 377. Over and over I say a huge THANK YOU Sven. Love the book. (I'm such a ham.) Wendy Tiki Central Art Swap July 31st 2014 Theme Tiki and Aliens. My painting is called Ancient Astronaut. He's just returned from a trip to Earth and is wearing one of his favorite collectable. It's funny how his likeness ended up on the roof of the Bali Hai. He doesn't like being called The Goof. This is my very first volcano bowl where the volcano can't be removed. August 2014. ============================================================== We are totally thrilled to be the centerfold for Tiki Magazine this month. Here's the cover with Sven. His Tiki Pop book is a must have with so many photos it's over the top. Here's our centerfold. ========================================================= As I continue to glaze items from the table Dan continues to say, "I've got dibs on that one". These will be put on the wall in the dining room. We keep adding to his collection so that there are more things to view on the Sacramento crawl in October. Necklaces of Puffer Fish and Turtles. Here's how the Zombie Village wall hanging turned out. I cast a few peanut mugs for Mahalo Tiki (who has learned so much so fast and is now making his own mugs, check him out on facebook) and he let me cast and change this one mug into a Rapa Maori mug. I made this bowl for Dan. I tried to make it look like a vintage bowl. Did I succeed or do you have suggestions for next time? Mixed Polynesian bowl 8/2014 September 2014 Slow Poke Tiki Bob a snail from the planet Gidzork. Coconut Tiki Bob bowl Truer color. More projects completed in September 2014. Intoxicated Bob in Caribbean Blue. Suffering Bastard Tiki Bob (idea by MP) King Frankoma Goblet. Three hula girl bowl. Beehive Tiki Bob bowl with lid. More Easter Islands bowl.
