CH cheeky half Member Tucson, AZ Joined: Nov 22, 2002 Posts: 801	CH cheeky half Posted posted on Sat, Jul 31, 2010 4:51 PM Here's a sampling of some of our tiki-themed mosaic work from present to past. All contain many hours of glass-cutting insanity and most contain genuine DNA samples in the form of our blood. The first piece was created for the 'Easter Island, Myths, and Popular Culture Exhibition' that will travel from The Captain Cook Museum in England to the Kon Tiki Museum in Oslo and then on to the Museo Antropológico P. Sebastián Englert, on Easter Island. There's a link to the post on TC about the show: http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=38338&forum=4&7 We're pretty thrilled that one of our mosaics will be seen in such incredible locations!

I think the Tiki Farm is my favorite, Holden should have that in his tiki room at work. Dan's favorite is the Peek Ku Boo, I hope I remembered the name correctly. I like the light coming from the mug a lot. Thank you for posting, I'm looking forward to what you do next, Wendy

They're under those shells in all their boobage glory, for anyone who cares to peek. Of course, you gotta buy the mosaic first :)

Way too many cool things to praise individually, but I really dug cubist Mr. Bali Hai, and the twirl-o-matic pasties made me chuckle. Incorporating mugs into your work is a stroke of genius. I have no idea how you guys keep pushing it so far, but please don't stop!
