My favorite tiki ever is from the Enchanted Tiki Room so thanks Tu for the inspiration. First step was to get a frame to dictate the size that I used. It's about 18 inches tall by 8 inches wide. Next was drawing the tiki. The blue image was my model, but my first attempt on the left was a bit too stiff so I did a looser looking one. I cut some thin wood to fit the frame, glued a piece of green felt to it and screen printed ENCHANTED TIKI ROOM ENCHANTED TIKI ROOM ENCHANTED TIKI ROOM all over it in the proper letter style and added those cool drum playing alligator dudes. I then took another piece of wood, glued some gold felt on, and screen printed the design in three colors. Here is the almost finished version, after jig sawing around the tiki and painting the frame. [ Edited by: cy 2015-06-25 21:53 ]
