Got my Aloha Jhoe repaired with some Marx Magic Mender, seems to work real well. Now my Swap Partner will have 3 mugs to choose from (sorry, just one mug of your choice, not all three :D ) BUT WAIT!!!! They also get a FREE 5x7 framed print of the menu that inspired the piece!!! Option #1 - Aloha Jhoe - 13 inches tall, 4 inches in diameter with removable hat. Features a straw hole in his right horn and a removable polyethelene skirt. "Aloha Jhoe" is inscribed on the back. You can even put a 151 soaked couton in the top and light it on fire like the one in original Aloha Jhoe's. This mug has been repaired and the lid as a bit unstable (full disclosure :) ) but maybe my Swap partner has a soft spot for Aloha Jhoe. Option #2 - Skipper Kent's Zombie - 4.5" T x 7" W x 7" D. Features a braided ponytail handle in the back and goldtone metal earrings. Option #3 - The Polynesian - 7.5" T x 6" W x 8" D. Features clear epoxy waterfall and lagoon with outrigger canoe and phat lava glaze. Back handle is inscribed "Polynesian" This was fun!!! Great theme and some great stuff coming up. I get my art swap and I get to keep 2 Menu Inspired mugs :D |

My swap mug is all done and I'm ready for the drawing.
I have to attend a convention for work at the end of the month. As soon as I'm back I'll check for my swap partner and contact them. This is such a blast I'm looking forward to the next time. Thanks Hewey, Wendy [ Edited by: danlovestikis 2009-10-22 14:18 ] |

Finally finished my project! Based it on this:
Started with a couple of blank wood blocks from Hobby Lobby. Here they are before assembly: Now after the 2 pieces are joined (side view). Added the text and then sealer. Details on the reverse: Finished piece measures 8 1/2" X 11 1/4" Finally, I didn't know there was a thread on TC about the Waikiki Room until just now. I had only seen the menu. I think you will like seeing the original post by Sabu and others including some great vintage photos!! Check it out here: |

WOW! Hope I luck out and get one of those pieces! Here's my submission, completed just under the wire! It's based on one of the menu designs for the Stockton Islander: It's 11x14, acrylic washes on watercolor paper. The dimensions are different, and I made the A-frame building larger and made it look specifically like the Islander, including the sign. |

WooHoo! After fretting that I would miss the swap, the spirit of Bob got it together! As a Bay Area Tiki Hound, I felt that Tiki Bob's would be a good menu to be inspired by. 4" X 6" Stretched Canvas and Heavy Body Acrylic |

Hey guys, all the art is looking GREAT!!! I wish I could actually do something worth swapping so I could join in.. In any case, I've compiled a list of people who have posted up their final pieces.. let me know if there are any mistakes:
And here is a short list of people who have posted progress shots but not a final photo of their finished pieces:
Also I have noticed a lot of people have mentioned that they want to participate in the swap but haven't posted any progress photos of their pieces. The deadline is Oct 31, but of course if your piece is not going to be ready for a couple of days I'm sure you can get a little extension. PM Hewey if you have any concerns about not being able to make the deadline but you will have your piece ready within a few days or so. Housekeeping done. [ Edited by: Liana 2009-10-31 14:12 ] |

I require an extension to finish work and complete details?? "IF" allowed to participate, I'll gladly ship my artwork to its new owner by the 20th of November. Mahalo'z for consideration...sorry I'm late....this was A LOT OF FUN!!! :D :tiki: JONESEY :tiki: ****************************************************************************************************************************** Edited to update: 21JAN10 First, let me thank Dawn for being so kind and incredibly patient.
