I like the Enchanted tiki room but by having it as a theme I think you are asking artists to copy or reinterpret an interpretation that Disney has already done. The ETR is Disney's take on tiki. I like the idea of taking a topic that there is no definitive definition of what the outcome should look like. To me something like Polynesian Myths would be open to a wide range of interpretation. For example: Maui had a magic hook that pulled the islands up out of the water. He also lassoed the sun to make the days longer. This is what Rolly Crump used to create the statues at the ETR. I may join this group but I'm still thinking of what I can do since my schedule is pretty full the next couple of months. If there are no rules does that mean I can use Rolly's inspiration for the ETR but not have it be anything that's from the ETR?
