Mrs. 8FT found this great new barkcloth fabric and we decided to buy several yards.
In order to help tikify our bedroom we have added it to a plain Vanilla colored Queen size bedspread we had. The "tiki" heads are sorta simplistic but very likeable.
I also like the 3 spiral shapes in the black rectangles because they are the same basic shape as was used numerous times in the creation of our big friend 8FT tiki which was carved by Oceanic Arts for the Kona-Kai in the early "70's.

Now this is the weird part. We have only had this on our bed for about a week and now both Mrs. 8FT and myself have had a tiki themed dream while sleeping under it. My dream was just about a thrift store I went into and found a ton of tiki stuff. Mugs carvings etc. etc. etc. I needed a cart to gather it all.
Mrs 8FT dreamed she had wandered by a nearly closed down shopping mall that had some dilapidated tiki stylings. When venturing inside she found the decor was heavy with tiki mosaics, lots of carvings, Hawaiian decoration and tiki masks.
Well they're just dreams but seemed better than the stupid kind about work or riding the bus or something. Perhaps they were not dreams but premonitions.......Try getting a new tiki bedspread or quilt.
Sweet "tiki" dreams everyone!
