in reply to hang10tiki
Thank you hang10tiki but haven't run out of space yet LOL I think I'm about done with my Ben Wilson/El Tiki tribute wall. Covered in faux Pecky Cypress, neon sign over the patio door
The repaired and reconditioned palm Japanese Lantern carved by Ben in the 60s. Ben had a taxidermied iguana on the bar. It was old and faded so I painted this one to match. We have a menu from El Tiki. I scanned front and back, had them printed on UV protected vinyl and framed them. 3D printed a couple pufferfish and netted them together to make a lamp. Some netting, a Jenny Haniver, and an abalone shell Several years ago I made some El Tiki tribute mugs (there were no mugs made for the restaurant originally). I though some of them would go good in a rack on this wall. That about wraps it up. May add a framed photo of Ben and maybe a few netted fish floats. |
