Glass tiki wall sconce and pendants (new feller on page 4)

here is the new tiki pendant, he measures roughly 1 3/4" x 3 1/2"

this is the glass for a tiki wall sconce, the body of the sconce is ceramic with a faux wood finish featuring palm tree cutouts on each side. when the completed sconce is ready i will post pics-just couldn't resist posting the glass pictures.

Really nice John! I love the bright colours

Nice work, your web site looks great. Lookin' forward to the finished product.

Hey now that's cool! Very nice! Please do post some more pics when you put it all together...!

Your stuff is always great, John! Are you going to be at Tiki Oasis 6 in May? Would love to see some of your work in person, as well as purchase a few too!

• Myke

Great stuff John! Love your work as always! Been a while though, where you been?

thanks everybody! i am 85% sure i will be at oasis as a vendor. with my lighting project and the new kid, i havent been able to post much of my tiki creations, but i'm definetly still around.
-john

Nice ones John, you're really making the glass look like tikis and with grreat color too!

thanks benz! that means a lot coming from you. i have another large tiki pendant that is due to cool off and be removed from the kiln later tonight-i'll have it posted late tonight/early tomorrow
-john

this feller measures 4 1/4" x 1 1/2"

this guy is complete but unfired, upon completion the edges as well as the design elements will round out some and the edges will be much softer. (i couldn't wait to show him to the tiki community)

these 3 pendants are the newest line that i have added, i like the fact that they are smaller than my regular tikis with just as much detail and design elements. future tikis like these will feature more "traditional" tiki design motifs.
hope you enjoy

Sweet! I love the one shaped like a pilsner glass. I don't know why but these little guys remind me of Shrinky Dinks. Fun stuff John.

John,

What ever happened with your tiki swizzle sticks? Are they available yet?

That's neat. The first one looks like Homer Simpson.

i got side tracked with those...i have the components (tiki an swizzle) made, just haven't fused the two together as of yet. think ill get some made by the end of the week :)

More nice stuff John. I Sure hope peeps are buying these because they are Really getting Top Knotch.

I went to your website. That is very cool stuff. The tiki island series wall hangings and candle shields are really neat. Have you ever done switchplates or socket covers? They kind of make me think of those shrink-in-the-oven things I used to play with as a kid. What were those things called? Anyone remember?

:) shrinky dinks!
switch plates are no problem, they are designed and set so the switch becomes the nose.
thanks everyone for the support, encouragement and compliments

here is my newest large monochromatic glass pendant inspired by easter island designs.

This one's really special! Great stuff John!

I like that one a lot it is very cool.

Has the headhunter got ahold of the Ooga Chaka baby? More power to him... :)

Mr Bill voice for the cannibal tiki "OOOH, NO!"

Your glass creations are awesome. I love the monochromatic one. VERY cool

thanks! i should have the finished one up later tonight/early tomorrow

here he his after going through the 1500 degree trial by fire

here is the newest tiki wall sconce, aside form the fused glass tiki feller (glass alone is on page 1), the body of the sconce is coated in a sandstone finish complete with palm tree cutouts on each side. web quality pics are on the way-just got a little anxious to post the completed light.
=john

Let's see a photo of that one lit up in the dark! Nice stuff! I want one. At least one.

Awesome John!

Hard to believe you have any time for this with all the driving you do. Tell the truth, do you make these in your car? LOL!

Lets plug that baby in! I can't wait to see it lit up either!

I'll call you when I get back from my trip to Vegas. Planning on a pilgrimage to Sunset Park to see the Aku Aku Moai! I understand I should pack my inflatable raft and duck repellant.

Aloha - HodadHank

here are the lit pictures, unfortunatley they don't do the glass justice.

Hey, that's way slick!

I think you found your big seller... I've liked your stuff in the past but this one here takes the prize!

Nice work John!

:) thanks! over the next few, i will expand the line with different shapes, sizes and designs. a hanging light in the same style is also on the agenda.
-john

Nice lamp John! Really good way to show off your glass art

thanks - had some extra time and space in the kiln so i thought id pay homage

Tiki Bob looks cool - nice work John

Shrinkydinks! Of Course! HA~

shrinkydinks for adults :)

that's awesome john!!

thanks tw!
if all goes well, there are tikibob earrings to match the necklace coming out of the kiln in a little while.

EARRINGS! oh! I can't wait to see 'em!

That sconce is super cool john, it's coming pretty close to a tiki stained glass window. that would be cool too. I dig your tiki bob tribute. I've always liked the tiki bob look.

That's quite a piece! Very nice! Are you sellin these?

[ Edited by: tikigap 2006-03-08 22:16 ]

thanks everybody! yes tikigap my tiki art is for sale. i have quite a few "stock" designs, which are each unique, and i also create individual custom pieces. each piece is signed numbered and dated. here is the tikibob tribute necklace and earrings. tikibob is one of my favorites...i couldnt resist

-john :)

John, I Really love the tiki bob tribute set. I'm not a Great fan ot the tiki Bob tiki, but seeing your version in glass gives me a whole new perspective. I really like this one. Keep 'em coming..

WOAH! Those are so totally awesome. I know from first hand experience how fantastic john's work is.

thanks benz, and thanks again tw - you guys are great!

once again, this is the pre-fired new kid in class. most of mine have their signature chubby belly look - for this guy i went with the old 30's-40's boxer/bodybuilder look he has got the six-pack, barrel chest and small waist and legs. once he leaves the kiln, there will be a better photo that shows the detail this picture leaves out.
thanks again,
-john
