Skip, I've been a fan of your lamps fo evva. Your love of detail, your aging techniques, the visible time spent on each piece make them the only lamps I would hang among my vintage ones. One day I am gonna get me one of those cork ones! |

Skipster, thank you so much for that amazing lamp, it is so boootiful! It now hangs next to an O.A. lamp in my library:
Besides everything else you do on your lamps, I was looking at your rope and knot work, and can only compare it to the genre of Sailor's Fancy Work, the kind of craft projects that sailors kept themselves busy with during long sea voyages.
Unlike well-known Scrimshaw, rope and knot fancy work is an under-appreciated art form well suited for the Tiki Lounge.
I found this piece, converted from an empty rum bottle, in my home port of Hamburg:
There are a few folks who appreciate this handicraft: http://despawson.com/Museum.html All I can say is keep up the good work, maybe some day it will be in a museum... |

For all the rope art enthusiasts (forgive me if I digress, Skip), here is another great use for the material I haven't seen that often: In Santa Monica there was a street with TWO Tiki-titled apartment buildings. The first one was the TIKI, of which I believe I published this photo in my books:
Now rope FRAMING is cool, but what I really liked was what they did for the TIKI TOO, down the street from the Tiki:
Unfortunately, by the time I got to document it (in Sept.'93), the lettering had somewhat decayed, so I never used it for publication.
Next: Anchor chain art... :wink: |
