Hi, I recently had a friend say they wished they could make tiki art because they love it so much. To prove it just takes practice and desire I am now releasing these photos of my very first endevor to produce in clay a tiki. This was a present to my husband Dan. Did I prove my point or have I not improved (:? Cheers, Wendy |

Question. The Tiki Crate will be produced as a statue and as a mug where the top of the tikis head is open. Which would be the most desired by collectors? Personally I think it looks better as a statue. After the party at Forbidden Island there will be some available for sale and shipping to collectors who couldn't make the party. If you are interested PM me so I can have an idea of how many to make. I'll keep a list and get back to you after April. I'm posting a step by step on the Missionary Downfall girl on my Craft thread. next. Dan was my advisor as to how um large ah the you know whats should be. She was fun to make, enjoy men, Wendy [ Edited by: danlovestikis 2010-11-24 08:24 ] |

Hi Friends, if you follow my craft page you will see the story of this little tiki that I've added to the bottom of my art photographs. It's such a thrill to see something so precious to the Frank family come back again from her original sculpt. My contribution is just the use of the mold we made and glazing. Joniece did all the rest of the work so many years ago. No other tiki survived the fire. Wendy |

I have 96 of the 110 Tiki Crates finished. When I finish there will be 60 black and blue mugs and 50 of the three color statue version. The Forbidden Island 5th Anniversary Party is on 4/21/2011 a Thursday. We will be there to greet everyone and we are looking forward to seeing old friends and making new ones. To see how these were made check my crafts thread here on TC. Thank you, Wendy |

Hi Brodah, thank you, I'm happy too. I just posted the first bowl made from Joniece Franks little tiki that survived the horrific fire at Frankoma. The whole story is on page one of my crafts thread. Joniece was Frankoma's master mold maker and sculptor, he sister was the master glazier. They still do some projects at their historical home in Supulpa, Oklahoma. You can see tours on u-tube by typing Frankoma or Joniece Frank. She was named after her father John so you say her name starting with the sound of John. Yesterday I googled myself and found that someone took a PBS show we were on and split it up and posted it on u-tube with ads. If you would like to view some of our collection or jungle room type Wendy Cevola Video. Cheers, Wendy |

Hi corriannao, thank you so much. It didn't occur to me that I could see the article on-line. I was waiting to go buy a - no 50 copies later today. Thank you, now I've posted the link on my crafts page as well as here. Kinny you are such a fine artist that it is just a blast when you post on my thread. My aim was to do a painting of you that people would smile at, I sure do. Cheers, Wendy

If you enjoy my art you can watch as I make it. The TC Events page has a thread for the Sacramento Crawl by Psycho Tiki D. At it's start it shows the making of the Zombie Hut/Coral Reef mug from last year. Now we are preparing for the next Crawl on October 7,8 and 9, 2011. I will be posting photos there and on my other crafts thread as I make the Tiki Bob decanter for this event. It is a copy of the napkin from Tiki Bob's at the Capital Inn Sacramento. If you would like to have one send me a PM and I'll add you to the list. If you attend the crawl you are guaranteed one if there are any left over I contact those on the list after the crawl. Cheers, Wendy PS I will be selling glaze tests and artist proofs of the Tiki Crate mugs and statues for Forbidden Island after the event this Thursday. If you are interested just send me a PM. There is a list so I will add you on |

I'm writing all the notes that are on this thread! Oh well. I am able to use my right hand for painting. I have a 1 pound or less limit and a loaded paintbrush is just right. So this Moai Madness painting has been done in a normal manner. I'll start another tomorrow. Cheers, Wendy |

Hi hiltiki, have we ever met? Thank you for your post I really appreciate your compliment. I read your posts a lot and when you write about Gecko'z mugs I send them on to him. I love tiki art and I think I will be doing this as long and my hands hold out. I'm in physical therapy right now, its one step at a time. No clay but I can paint so I'm very happy. Cheers, Wendy |

Hi, I've just posted my submission to the Tiki Oasis Burros and Black Velvets show. This piece is Ht: 44" and Width: 36 inches framed. It's very large. I never get a perfect photo of it. The colors are richer than shown. I'm looking forward to the show and seeing everyone. The artist reception is August 20th at 1 PM but is open the whole weekend. See you soon, Wendy |

Oasis, where else can you go on vacation with a couple hundred of your friends? Thank you Joe for the art show. Great to meet you Big Toe and John Moulder (hope that I spelled it right). Thank you Otto for another fantastic Oasis. See you next year. Cheers, Wendy |

Next year Dawn. See you then! Wendy I've been away and just posting on my other crafts thread. But on page one I've posted my work for the production of resin chunk lamps.

Well hang10tiki and Professor G you have given me such joy by your comments. I thank you so much. Professor G just in case you haven't surfed around TC and found my other thread it is under "other crafts". It is there that I place all the step by step photos of my art in progress. When something finishes I place it in Gallery. Ceramics and paintings can take awhile so the other thread has more. I post there often. (: Wendy |
