http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=300213354186&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT&ih=020 I've enjoyed this great art piece for years now, but have put it up for sale to help pay for the Trader Vic's tiki I bought at the warehouse sale. Hope it goes to an appreciative home :) |

It only looks like half of the piece, what a drag! That $ is a little hefty too! |

Does that mean I get twice as much for mine ? :D
I still haven't figured that out. But I found a different mosaic with a Venice motif that must have been by the same company at my FAVORITE hobby store, KIT KRAFT on Ventura Blvd in the valley:

I was, am in the market for a tiki mosaic I did look into some contemporary artists for a commission but again, too hefty a price in this market place right now. Maybe I will fall into something, somewhere or, find a kit & "Do it myself" like i did when I was 8 :D |

I think it's worth every dollar if you consider the time involved in creating it. It's also a classic. It will only go up in value imo. |

Interesting.... This seems to be a gravel art version of the classic mosaic. The design is slightly different. Who knew this thing even existed???? ch |

Very interesting. Yes, it' a gravel (glass bead) version as opposed to the traditional mosaic. The design is just a little bit different, isn't it? The general consensus for the piece has always been "hobbyist project", but at no time that I can recall was a gravel version discussed or even mentioned. Another bit of mystery I suppose. As a side note, that looks like a lot of work...upon further consideration: definitely, too much. Talk about mystery: bigbadtikidaddy!?? BBTD posts? What the ... there's a blast from TC days gone by. Long time no see, oh large one. What's next, a visit from the Ghost of Bong (RIP) Past? Alas, |

How great! Did that company do the mosaic, too, though...hmmm. Likely, I guess. I want this box for Tiki history. |

That's pretty exciting! I've been saving various pictures of the mosaic version and did a full scale enlargement and line drawing. It's neat to see many of the exact elements rearranged here in the original line drawing shown in the box. First, archaeologists discover what they believe is the altar of the ark of the covenant--now this! What's next? |

Well, I see the gravel art version ended up going for $203.50! I think that's a great deal for someone considering its relative uniqueness and what the (larger) mosaic version has been going for. Wonder if someone here won it? |

I DID! But a little out of my price range (a LOT if I was honest with myself!!). I wanted to get it so I could reproduce it on my small patio wall here at Tiki Towers. I was going to scan the original line drawing from the instructions and the colo(u)r version from the box and enlarge them. Still only be another project in the wings and I should be working on POCKETIKI! If anyone can help tho'... Trader Jim - make mine a Mai-Tai! |

Tiki garden I'll send you a PM with some advice to start a new thread of your own, because being an Aussie who has carved foam Moai's before, I'd be interested in seeing more of your work. And I would say that everyone here on TC would be interested in seeing a 21ft flamed tiki :o PS I love this mosaic as well, just to stay on track here.. |

I was so bummed I didn't win the gravel art piece that I had to console myself by going out and purchasing some things I'd seen on Craigslist. This place had a bunch of already made gravel art pictures but none of them were "Tiki". I really wanted to make that Moai piece too. Harumph! |

So no one from the TC family won it? Too bad, but it should not be too hard to trace from the e-bay pics (or the BOT) Just print them out and have them blown up at a copy place. |
