Clarita, I had to put the most awsome Tiki candles ever made, in a great spot, I don't think we will ever light one, so they can be around forever, I will have to go back to your thread to see what you have been up to as of late, Thanks!

So what do you do with those Tiki Pendants you are forced to wear around your neck, because you don't have any place else to display them? Why you make a hanging display shelf like this one.... I needed to make a new frame to match the others I have been cranking out lately, so one more done... :drink: Well thats it for today....you don't have to go home, but you can't stay here, drive carefully now. :drink:

First up I made a custom display shelf for my Enchanted Tiki Room Stacker Mug... Wes gave me a Bamboo frame, Had some of those CocoJoe Moais, a little Leopard print fabric background, cut out a new backboard, throw it all together and here it is... I wanted a Barstool to match our Bamboo Ben Bar,I think it matches pretty well... Just took some scrapes of thatch & Bamboo, a Bamboo Curtain & a Doug Horne Shield to dress up a plain looking entry way... Took this Mug Shelf I built earlier & installed LED track lights, these are really cool, they cycle threw 5 colors, have 4 program modes look sharp in a dark room, from Ikea of all places. They would look great under a Tiki Bar top etc... I did paint a wall just for Ben, see.... Thats it for now..... Love u're tikilicious stuff and living-room!' It's very inspiring! Great colour you have chosen for your walls, way cool! Hope u're doing well and if you did some new improvements, hope you'll share it here :D Tikisweet greetings from the Netherlands!

I really dig what you've done with the frames, shadow boxes, and all. Your place looks really great. Where do you find the bamboo material you made the wine rack out of? Pretty cool stuff.
ATP Atomic Tiki Punk Tiki Socialite Costa Misery Joined: Jul 19, 2009 Posts: 7118	ATP Atomic Tiki Punk Posted posted on Tue, Feb 2, 2010 7:29 PM Thanks whiskeyblood, I cheated with the bamboo rack, it was a prebuilt one I just cut down, drilled to fit properly in the box I built for it. Then I torched & antiqued it to look older. I was getting all my raw Bamboo material from House of Tiki, who are no longer in business, I don't get to see Wes & Pua much these days.

ATP Atomic Tiki Punk Tiki Socialite Costa Misery Joined: Jul 19, 2009 Posts: 7118	ATP Atomic Tiki Punk Posted posted on Tue, Feb 9, 2010 6:14 PM OK changed it up a bit, I wanted to frame Doug Horne's Devil Girl print because it needs to get on my wall! now. I used a stock frame that I think goes better with this particular print, Then I made a custom Mat using leopard print fabric The print just needed the leopard border, it was a moral imperative that had to be done.

ATP Atomic Tiki Punk Tiki Socialite Costa Misery Joined: Jul 19, 2009 Posts: 7118	ATP Atomic Tiki Punk Posted posted on Tue, Feb 16, 2010 11:41 PM I have been playing around with cement for awhile been making these Moai for the back yard, all free form & no molds so they look a bit rough.
M MadDogMike Grand Member (8 years) The Anvil of the Sun Joined: Mar 30, 2008 Posts: 11036	M MadDogMike Posted posted on Wed, Feb 17, 2010 8:51 AM ATP, nice texture and color - very stone-like. I had tried concrete with black and white aquarium gravel to get a stone look but I wasn't impressed - care to share your secret? :D Rather impressive for free-form without a mold - delicate balance of just the righ consistency to sculpt. Did you put a finish of some sort on it?
ATP Atomic Tiki Punk Tiki Socialite Costa Misery Joined: Jul 19, 2009 Posts: 7118	ATP Atomic Tiki Punk Posted posted on Wed, Feb 17, 2010 12:27 PM MDM, Its a bit tricky as you have to let the cement dry enough so it will hold its shape but then you are on the clock & have to haul ass, because you have maybe 30 or 40 minutes to sculpt before it is set. Yes I used fast setting cement & finished it with one of those stone paint finishs & varnish looks good but outside, weathers quickly. I may have to start playing with an acid finish to get a better weathering effect.

ATP Atomic Tiki Punk Tiki Socialite Costa Misery Joined: Jul 19, 2009 Posts: 7118	ATP Atomic Tiki Punk Posted posted on Sun, Mar 28, 2010 6:42 PM Thanks Brad! I have been working all weekend on the Digga Doo Shelf project, I finally had a bit of free time. But did take time out last night to go to Don the beachcomber. I will post pictures in the next few days, Thanks to all of you for your kind comments!
ATP Atomic Tiki Punk Tiki Socialite Costa Misery Joined: Jul 19, 2009 Posts: 7118	ATP Atomic Tiki Punk Posted posted on Fri, Apr 2, 2010 7:30 PM Got it done! here is a step by step.... The Project is to make a combo frame & shelf for these.... First up is to build the frame,add some notches... Next a nice sanding, then cut out a backboard... torched in some details,then a dark stain... Then sand it all down so we can see the pine grain, add some more torch highlights... A nice Golden Pecan stain and build a glass retainer into the frame... Now some more stain, then finish & seal it all... Cut some Bamboo flats for inlay, cut some leopard fabric for the backboard... With the Bamboo highlights & finished backboard... Attach the backboard & hooks to hang from... Now the print gets a mat,frame gets UV glass & backboard... Ready to hang.... Now Punk & Tiki mix well, like a Mai Tai with attitude. But what do I know? I am just a punk with a Mai Tai. The Moai see, the Moai like! [ Edited by: Atomic Tiki Punk 2010-04-02 19:35 ]
