Maybe next year. Awesome job to everyone that made the deadline with some really cool pieces.

I'm happy to donate a piece to make up numbers if needed but it wouldn't be PNG. Sorry guys Flynny
N nuKKe Member Tel Aviv, Israel Joined: Feb 13, 2005 Posts: 176	N nuKKe Posted posted on Tue, Jun 30, 2009 11:31 PM This has became my current favourite thread here in TC: so much talent and creativity all over the place! I like the progress pics but I just love the final results - the variety of style and mediums and these unexpected last minute postings are all true eye candies. I am really looking forward to the next step, i.e shipping. It's been a few years since I last swapped/ traded art and I cannot wait til the next swap. When will it be? Which theme? Last night before falling asleep I was thinking - a Tiki Bob tribute? Tapa-themed? Cocktail-inspired? Moai? I'd love to participate/ organize another swap before Christmas. My apologies for not commenting on each and every one of the entries - it's gonna take too much storage space and time (I should've been on my way to work already and instead I'm still in my nightwear, browsing the forums). Ok, enough talk - bring on the pics! K.

Will it be straight up or single swapping? My preferance is to do it straight up. You swap with the person you are sending your stuff to.

Joined: Jun 12, 2006 Posts: 7763	LLT little lost tiki Posted posted on Wed, Jul 1, 2009 8:18 AM That's how it was done during the Maori themed Swap... Mieko and I got to swap and got the most killerest 2-sided pendant from her! (awaiting Ernie's grammar police...) and i sent her a "HEI"-Tiki drawing! That way shipping is pretty fair and balanced as well... but it IS up to hewey.. hewey? artosaurus! awesome entry!
M MadDogMike Grand Member (8 years) The Anvil of the Sun Joined: Mar 30, 2008 Posts: 11021	M MadDogMike Posted posted on Wed, Jul 1, 2009 8:41 AM Krisdrama, very cool finished piece, Artosaurus too. I thought your "book" looked good in black & white, it really rocks in color! Now this may take some patience on our parts... Hewey was going to draw names and pair people up but it sounds like Hewey is having some computer issues. Since this is Hewey's baby, I'm up for waiting until he can see it through Maybe Liana has some insight? We can live beside the ocean Leave the fire behind Swim out past the breakers And watch the world die. [ Edited by: MadDogMike 2009-07-01 08:42 ]

H hewey Tiki Socialite Sydney, Australia Joined: Sep 14, 2004 Posts: 4283	H hewey Posted posted on Thu, Jul 2, 2009 12:06 AM SWAP DONE Hello hello PNG swappers! First of all congrats to all of the artists who have participated in the swap, we had 30 people all up! Awwwwwwwesome! The theme was really popular, and there was a great diversity in the pieces in the swap, which really reflects on all the talented artists we have on here. Okay, so the way this works is you PM your swap partner with your mailing address (make sure you include the name of your country and your zip code!), and they do the same. You send your piece (well wrapped of course!) in the mail, then wait like a little kid the night before Christmas by the letterbox for your piece to arrive in the mail! Its awesome if you can post a picture of the piece in its new home so you can show the creator where it ended up :D Nooooooow, the list…. (if this was reality TV I would drag this out more! But half of you have already gone down to check out the list first before reading this). Artosaurus – MP Sneakytiki – Robb Hamel Tiki Diva Love – Alohastation Queen Kamehameha – Tobunga Zerotiki – Congatiki Meheadhunter – Tiki Bai Laoija – Tikiville Mieko – Tikimango Wplugger – Maddogmike Krisdrama – Leleliz Travelling Jones – Van Tiki Cap’n Pharoah – Ravenne Palapala – Hewey Little Lost Tiki – Bongofury Nukke – Tiki G The results were written on paper and pulled randomly out of a pith helmet! There was video of the draw as it happened, but might take a little time before it goes up on youtube. Thanks everyone for participating, there were some great pieces, and I hope everyone is stoked with their scores :D :D :D :D Of course Im open to suggestions for another swap, both timeframes and swap themes.

T TikiG Tiki Socialite Riverside, California Joined: Jun 17, 2008 Posts: 1560	T TikiG Posted posted on Tue, Jul 14, 2009 8:18 AM Aloha! I received a package from Israel last Saturday afternoon.. Upon breaking open the seal I heard a not too subtle sigh of relief emanating from deep within the box buried under newspaper and foam peanuts I placed my hands on either side of the box, reached down into the packing material, felt the coolness of the object and lifted. It seemed the package was giving birth How exciting it is to lay eyes on a brand new, totally unique work of art, a work of art that was conceived and brought to life, literally, on the other side of the planet Here I am proudly displaying my nuKKe PNG shield immediately following the installation of the piece front and center of my tiki shrine at home. Thanks nuKKe for such a beautiful work of art. Now on to the next swap. What's the official theme? Tiki Bob? Okay! Aloha - TikiG
