Space/Alien/Robot Tiki Art Swap

Beautiful Sandra! So glad you decided to get involved

Fantastic space art Sandra!

Sandra I can learn a lot about painting by gazing at your art. That is so beautiful.

I'm working. The story is that this Alien has had his likeness stolen by the Bali Hai. He's not happy being called The Goof.
You never know what will happen when you go on vacation.

I have more done I need to take photos today. Cheers, Wendy

As Elvis used to say, "Thank you very much".

Let's see some more finished pieces. I'm sitting here hitting refresh every few seconds...not.

Wendy

Done! With a few hours to spare! I sewed him a pair of tie dyed shorts and added details to the straw, flower and eyes with paint you bake in your home oven. Although I'm excited to swap he's my favorite piece so far and I'm going to miss him.

Great job everyone!

Here's my contribution -

Great Job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm at the end of a 11 hour day. If anyone needs a little extra time, let me know. I will post the list of swap partners tomorrow.

Thanks for heading up the swap TU!

LoriLOvesTiki you made a very cute Alien. Good job, Wendy

Thanks TU :)

Alrighty! Byootiful stuff all around - can't wait to send off my piece via rum fueled hyperdrive!

Thanks for waiting until this afternoon for the list. "The Man" frowns on personal computer use.
If you are new, all you need to do is Personal Message the person you are swapping with and trade addresses. If you are close, or both going to San Diego, feel free to swap in person. As long as you get someone's art and they get yours, it's a great day!!!

Here is the exchange list...

Anthony and Cy
Hang 10 and Tiki Ano
Mad Dog and Tu
Mauka Hale and Zero

for the odd number...
Sandra to Wendy
Wendy to Lori
Lori to Sandra

This is totally weird that the guys swap with guys and the gals swap with gals, but that is just the way the randonmness worked out.

Thanks again for everyone's participation!!! I had a lot of fun and hope you did too.

Have fun in San Diego and drink some rum for me.

I got a TikiAno mug, sweeeeeeeeeet.......
Exchange at Oasis
No shipping, bonus.......
I'm stoked......

Wa~HOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Blast off to da planet of awesome!

Hi guys!

I've been out of town and am so excited to come back and see everybody's work. :) THe messages fly by so quickly on this forum, it's easy to lose track.

So I will be reaching out to you Wendy and Lori.

Thanks so much for doing this, TU! Count me in for the next one. :)

Sandra

Sweeet! I'm with Jon- no shipping = mo' better! Excited to have a Hang 10 carving in the ol' collection!

Everyone's work was fantastic during this swap, such a variety of creativity approaching the subject. Tu, thanks so much once again for organizing and keeping track of the craziness.

Great theme + great participants + great ideas + great (& varied) execution = (inter) Stellar swap!

Thank you TU for a wonderful swap. We are looking forward to having Sandra's art in our home and shipping
my painting to LoriLovesTiki.

Lori I have your address. Is shipping by US Post Office this weekend OK?

Cheers, Wendy

PS lets not forget to post photos when we each receive our art

It's so funny that the girls are swapping with the girls and the guys with the guys! I can't wait to receive Wendy's painting and will be boxing up my guy for Sandra. :)

Thanks again for a great swap!

Bummer... I thought my post on Thursday night indicated I was in the swap. I literally was packing and unpacking a moving truck all day Friday and back at it today. I just popped on to see who my trade partner was. Oh well... my twin girls said my swap piece was their favorite tiki-inspired project I've completed and were bummed to hear I was swapping it. Looks like they will get it!

Everything looks great... Enjoy your swaps!

Peace,
Jason 'TikiDaye'
