Argh. Your design skills are incredible. Your Spoonflower fabrics are gorgeous. The rugs are a little out of reach for me right now, but I'll own some of your work soon, one way or another. |

In other news I've been working on my house this summer. finishing up some projects I've been neglecting. like the deck. I'm also working on a kitchen , bath and bedroom redo in the Bamboo Grove of Westwood ( the apt downstairs in my house) In completely unrelated tiki news,,, I did tear down someones garage with a hammer and a pry bar in 3 days. It was a very satisfying job. [ Edited by: Sophista-tiki 2014-08-10 21:24 ] |

Polynesian Park pen and ink drawings. visitors center Park Shelter Club House Caretakers Shack All pen and ink drawings produced over the weekend are for fundraising for RUGXOTICA. I need a big financial push to get the rest of the supplies I need to finish the first batch of rugs I just finished backing edging and trimming the first RUGXOTICA rug. This was my technique learning piece so its for me. This piece will be finished next and will be the first RUGXOTICA rug offered for sale. its 3' x 5' NOS cotton rayon. This will be the biggest RUGXOTICA piece I've attempted so far its 7' x 5' [ Edited by: Sophista-tiki 2014-09-27 18:42 ] [ Edited by: Sophista-tiki 2014-09-28 05:44 ] |

Dawn, I really dig the drawings! But looking at all the black and white I thought "coloring books"! In your spare time why don't you put one together. But seriously has anyone done a coloring book? How long does it take to make one of those rugs it looks labor intensive and how can you bare to part with the blue and brown tapa rug, it looks amazing in your room! Seeing your work makes me want to play you a song! aloha, tikicoma |

Dawn, your work is incredible, and I love the diversity in all of it. I hope sales are good for you, if not people are fools. I saw your "cricket" post on Facebook and thought I'd give you some support here. :) I just posted up some work of my own here again... and I'm ready for "crickets" myself. |

Someone just posted on Fb that TC isn't mobile friendly and another one couldn't figure out how to leave a comment. Maybe thats part of the problem. My life doesn't revolve around a phone so I forget thats kinda the root of modern stupidity. [ Edited by: Sophista-tiki 2014-09-28 02:07 ] |

RUGXOTICA may be perhaps the most unique and labor intensive new tiki stuff I have seen. Fantastic work Dawn I think you have created your own tiki sub genre. The crickets (and tigers) approve. :wink: |

I'm working on stuff i swear. Not making any new stuff for the holidays too much going on and plenty of existing inventory to be rediscovered. I always find it interesting how a piece will get no attention when its fresh and then 2 yrs later suddenly its sliced bread. I'll be working on my swap piece soon. https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=894063283951174&id=359772630713578

seems like I'm working night and day in the studio but I still don't have paintings to show. The Castaway Cravats have taken over. Adding the Ascots in 2 styles The Fred and The Thrurson. I'm massively building up inventory for wholesale orders and to prep for this seasons events in case someone wants to have them in their booth for vending. The good thing about all this is that they are funding RUGXOTICA. I'm also working on prototyping my new jewelry line ( not yet named. Hope to be launched by Hukilau.
