TIKI OASIS vendors who have cool stuff but aren't allowed in the artists alley!

I noticed theres a lot of "Hillbilly Squabble" going back and forth about a few vendors who are not allowed to spam their wares in the Artists alley. Fair enough. (I don't want to step on any toes!)
I must admit there's some funny goin's on over "yonder" in that Artist Alley, but I personally don't really speak hillbilly, and definitely don't have any farm animals on hand. I am more of a surfer who is stoked on the theme of this years event and excited to attend and vend. I am also a shop owner who normally doesn't do alot of "Roadshows" mostly because I don't want to take business away from those who don't own a brick and mortar store. (And also because I want time to go around, mai tai in hand, perusing all da 'kine arts and craftiness!) Many of the vendors I know and respect are true artists with amazing stuff who eek out a living by tirelessly traveling around the country showing off their goods.
That being said, how 'bout a place for the OTHER vendors who want to show previews of the stuff they will be peddling at Oasis? Has this been done? I did a search and couldn't find anything specific. I have been checking out some of this years vendors and what they have for sale and know for sure I need to stop at the bank on the way down to grab some extra "kala".
Aloha, Wes

Howdy Wes! Of course there's always been a place for non artist alley vendors to post their wares. Just like you're doing now. I started the artist Alley thread to focus on us as a group since this is a new area at Oasis. Don't feel like you're being left out. :)

Post away! Let's see the House of Tiki goodies!!

YEEHAW!

Way to go,Wes!
Now BigToe will have a LEE-JIT-TIMATE place to show his paintins!

We'll try ta keep the Livestock away frem the uther venders!
Junior!

Wes-
your mug here is BEA-u-TI-ful(and I'm not speakin'Hillbilly either)!
Will you be selling it at the T.O? I'd like to know the price so I can see if it's in my budget this time around. Thanx!- Rosered :)

We'll add to the 'cool stuff by vendors not in the Artist's Alley' thread..

Here are some new mosaics we've made.

We're also making a very limited (4) run of pendants. Each one is hand made from glass, mounted in metal and protected with a shiny resin coating. This is our interpretation of the Luau 400 logo and we're also making a few (5) Kahiki Pendants.

And finally we've got some shirts, embroidered with logos of a few of our favorite long-gone Tiki establishments. Again, we only have a limited number of these. The folks who pre-ordered them from us, we got ya covered. Otherwise it's strictly first come, first shirted.

Oh, and a mosaic of Bruce Lee, the famous surfing tiki guy....

Cheers, and we'll see you at Oasis. Just not in the Artist Alley.

ch

p.s. That's one cool looking mug, shakatiki!

Swing by the booth and hang with me, the world famous Bigtoe.....Tikifarm.....and BadLand Beads! Winners of last years "BEST BOOTH"!!

Here's a tiny taste of new designs BADLAND BEADS will have at Oasis. These are individually handcrafted and painted from polymer clay and just slightly larger than a quarter. See these tiny tikis and a whole mess of other kool kid stuff from Tom "BigToe" Laura, David "Clysdalle" Lozeau and Tiki "Holden" Farm at the Ghouligans Hut...voted Best Booth last year.

What! I am not made of money, everythings looking great, I want it all.
I can say first hand, Wes's Mug is one of the best I have seen,he has put alot of sweat into this one, get it before they are gone.

Wow, there's some cool stuff up there! And not a Hillbilly in sight!

Here's The Kahiki Pendant, a flower pendant and a red skull pendant...

We had to pay off a lot of people for it..but it was worth being able to slur "bressst booooof!" all night.

Cheeky - You guys always bring the pain (of not having enough money to buy one of everything)! Love your stuff!

From the files of, "I hope to have finished....." these Mai Kai Decanters I scored were just asking to be painted up Franky style. I'm hoping to have these finished up in time , so it will be late nights for the next few days to get these guys out of the laboratory. They LIVE......

More pics to come!

Lovin' the Fran-Kai. Methinks the non-artists-alley folks will be able to give the hog-lovers a run fer their money. We have Doug Horne on our side of the fence, and from what I hear, he's a one-man petting zoo!

Here's all the pendants we have finished.

I'll be sharing the booth with Maggie & Mark, the two hep artists that are VelvetGlass.
Usually I've got my flameworked glass beads for a TO, but this year I've got a few new pieces, fresh out of the kiln, and pictured here for your amusement.
All of them are made of fused glass sheets. Some have flameworked elements.
The painting was done with glass enamels.

C'mon down and see 'em in person. Hell, feel free to buy one or as many as you'd like.

Indeed. I wonder where one might be able to find such things after Oasis???? If only there were some sort of Tiki oriented gallery in San Diego run by artists that might already sell Fire Monkey Glass. Yep. That would be cool.

I wonder if there was someplace in...let's say in Sandy Eggo that sold THESE pieces?
( I hope that place is smokefree)
