summer art swap: the enchanted tiki room!!!! Ends August 1st

Greetings from Punta Banda, Ensenada, Mexico. My Spanish isn't that good but I think "Punta Banda" is slang for "lady of the evening wearing stripes", I haven't seen her yet but I'm keeping my eyes open :lol:

WOW! Finished projects are piling in and everything looks BEAUTIFUL!!!! Gonna be another great Swap with contributions from so many amazing artists.

I have updated my post on page 20 with current pics. I think everyone is done except ZeroTiki?, and IDoVoodoo.

No pressure

Ha! I'm feeling the pressure! I've been so busy, but I'll squeeze in there last minute!

When's my final day??

Cheers,

Voodoo

Voodoo- welcome

Photo of finished piece has to be posted on the 1st

That's

More days

Cheers

Mike- hope you are having fun on vacation

Yep

The suspense is killing me. I'm working on putting my tiki room together this weekend and can't wait to find out what I get to add to the mix!

Nice work all! I've been out of the TC loop with the kid, some traveling, and lotsa work, but fun to come back and look at all of the Swap pieces. Looking forward to the next Swap with a theme that pulls me in a bit deeper. That being said, love how everyone put their own personal touch on the theme.

Mike, have fun in Mexico and don't forget some lobsters in Puerto Nuevo!

Ano- you still have today to finish your piece
:)

Thanks, Jon, but this theme didn't reach out to me. Look forward to the next one! May have something for ya at Oasis, though.... :wink:

:)

Oh NO! The draw will be way past my bedtime. I'll check back tomorrow. Wendy

I'M BACK!!! How can such a relaxing vacation make you so tired by the time you get home?! Hadn't been to Ensenada since my first honeymoon in 1982, it sure has changed! A lot bigger, but the beach we were on (south of Ensenada) was practically deserted. Beach house on a long, thin peninsula - ocean out the back door and bay out the front door. No lobster for me TikiAno, severely allergic.

Will do the drawing tomorrow morning and post the results :) So much great art, can't wait to see what everyone gets!

Welcome back Mike. It sounds like you had a great trip!

Done! Sorry, it's dark, and the Poly is wet and super shiny right now. Pics aren't great.

Some of my inspiration:

Flowers

and

VooDoo- way cool :)

Great swap everyone

Mike- glad your home safe and had fun

Can't wait to see where all the pieces end up

Very nice IDoVoodoo!!!!! Great addition just under the wire

Wendy, I'm very excited about my mug!
Mike, thank you for leading the art swap.
To all the artists...great work!

Everyone did a FANTASTIC job! I'm sorry I wasn't able to participate. I'm spending too much time floating in my pool! This teacher is enjoying the heck out of her summer vacation. I promise to hop on the next one. I'm always so happy with the art I've received. Every time I see one of your wonderful pieces in my hut it makes me so happy!

Lori, we're going to hold you to that promise :)

MadDogMike thank you so much for posting all the photos together. I enjoyed looking at them as much as making the mug. This swap had so much wonderful art that I'd forgotten that this post was perfect. It's inspiring to see how we all love these swaps. Cheers to the next one. Wendy

PS MDM your bottle turned out wonderfully which makes the melted one a greater sorrow, CY terrific

I keep returning here to look at the art. JoshuaBell what you achieve with paper is over the top good. Wendy

Everything here looks great.

And thanks again Mad Dog.
Cheers to you my friend.

Sent mine out today

Robert,

Thank you for you for your Enchanted Tiki Room mug. It looks great and I put it next to two of the Portland Trader Vic's mugs. This is definitely a unique one-of-a-kind mug!

Thanks Anthony for the painting. It will fit nice in the disney area.

I'm a bit late, but I sent mine out yesterday ^^;

Good to see art trickling into new hands. It was iffy whether I was going to be able to visit Oasis Saturday to swap with Cy in person but it looks like it is going to work out :D

We are here at Tiki Oasis 15 waiting for SewTiki to arrive so we can swap with her. I'm loving all these photos that are posted once the art arrives. Keep it up. Wendy

I was gathering some statistics on the 13 ArtSwaps since 2008
84 different artists have participated, a veritable who's who a tiki artists
215 works of art have been created

And it arrived! But... I haven't made it to the post office yet. So I'm not opening the treasure until mine is on the way - Saturday for sure!

MadDogMike, I love numbers and that was so fun to read. I didn't know about the other two swaps or I wouldn't have missed them. I think its so much fun and a great way to meet more tiki people.

I've run into so many friends at Tiki oasis and it's only Thursady. hang10tiki is one and he's married to my swap partner. We'll make the swap tomorrow.

Cheers, Wendy
