Maori Art Swap - Oti! (finished) - Other Crafts

Can be any media; clay, wood, paint, fabric, beads, digital, metal, glass, mixed media, etc. The intent is for this to be an original "one-off" work of art, not part of a mass produced run. If it is created from an existing mold it should be heavily modified. Digital art or screen prints should be printed on a nice substrate, not just run off on a piece of art pad paper. You must post a picture of your finished piece by the deadline in order to be included in the drawing. Remember that you will probably ship your art to your partner, don't make anything so large or heavy that it cannot be shipped cost effectively. If you are not an established Swapper and/or established TC member, I will ask for real name and cell phone number so we have a solid contact in the event of a problem. Most of all, have fun and interact with some fellow TC folks :D Looks like the Seasons of Tiki Swap is about wrapped up. We generally hold a summer Swap scheduled to end just before Tiki Oasis in August, luck of the draw usually allows some people to swap in person at Oasis. There was some interest in starting the next Swap soon, to give people more time to complete their art – anyone ready to start now? Tiki Oasis is August 18th this year, the Swap would need to end about Aug 12th. There have been many themes used and proposed over the years, here are a list of some of them (All as they relate to Tiki, of course) Favorite Mug Matchbooks Drinks Animal Zodiacs Hot Rod Pin-up Military Tiki Bob Maori Waterfalls Pufferfish Moai TV Now I’m going to lobby for my favorite – MAORI/NEW ZEALAND!!!! Very traditional Tiki with a wide variety of styles and materials, something for everyone. Wood Carving Stone Carving Bone Carving Weapons Tattoos Too bad the Swaps aren’t good for performance art or you could create and perform a custom haka dance for your Swap partner :lol: For further inspiration, here is a trailer for the 2015 Maori movie “The Bad Lands”, available to rent on Amazon. Action packed but rather bloody. What are your thoughts on themes? [ Edited by: MadDogMike 2016-04-03 17:48 ] [ Edited by: MadDogMike 2016-08-09 12:59 ]
