Everyone has done such an amazing job on these busts! We feel lucky to be able to add our own little artistic endeavor to the lot. Our model is the lovely Kathleen. Here are the pics, but if you'd like to see the movie of the tassels in all their rotational goodness check it out here http://www.velvetglass.com/tikipages/MosaicsSold/keepabreast.html [ Edited by: cheeky half 2010-05-28 08:43 ] |

Amazing MP! I do think it's a little unfair though, that you had a bigger "canvas" to work with :wink: |

Yes, it does look like some "Jack Kirby" influence, and also some "Alex Toth". [ Edited by: GROG 2010-06-03 02:25 ] |

It's pretty sad when plaster boobs look better than mine! Actually, that's not so hard to do, but dang! I can't say I've even been jealous of "fake" boobs! |

WOW! So many AMAZING pieces here. I'm so impressed by the creativity (a lamp?!?!) and execution. And all for a good cause too. Sorry for being so late to post my own contribution! Here's Tana the Tattooed Lady, covered in parrots, moais and masks... oh, and rhinestones. :) The medium is acrylic, with a handmade pendant on twine. |

I am so proud to be a part of Tiki Oasis and Keep A Breast foundation. I love beautiful cast that Crazy Al Evans. So much I would like to keep it in our O'hana. It's very dear to me not only because I was 3 months Hapai, but my son's grandmother is a breast cancer survivor as well. Please help me raise money so we can keep my cast in our O'hana! See you at Tiki Oasis '`10!! http://www.firstgiving.com/pacificpinup Mahalo, |

I had the privilege of painting on Baby Doe's canvas. I'm so glad she chose me! I've been involved with Shaney and Keep-A-Breast in the past and super excited to contribute again. I't's an honor to be here with such talented folks. All of these look fabulous! |

Hey friends if you are interested in giving to the Keep A Breast cause but don't have much to give why not just donate $5 bux on my firstgiving page? All monies go direct to Keep A Breast! If I earn $1000 by this weekend I get to keep the cast painted by the lovely Erin Joy. I would hear having this cast as a memory to my momma who was a 20 year breast cancer survivor. Thanks for your support and I do hope you can check out the gallery at Tiki Oasis! XO Baby Doe |

Hi everyone! I just wanted to give an update that we raised almost $10,000 for Keep A Breast at Tiki Oasis! WOW!! Thanks to all the artists and castees for being part of this project. If you didn't get a chance to donate a couple of our regular Tiki Oasis girls still are fundraising to earn their cast! Even donating $5- $10 can make a difference to this great cause and allow these ladies to keep their cast! Megan Mayhem: http://www.firstgiving.com/pacificpinup XO baby doe |
