M MadDogMike Grand Member (8 years) The Anvil of the Sun Joined: Mar 30, 2008 Posts: 11036	M MadDogMike Posted posted on Sun, Nov 22, 2015 4:07 PM Theme is "Seasons of Tiki", art will depict Tiki in a season-themed or holiday-themed setting. Winter, Spring, Summer, or Fall, Christmas, Halloween, 4th of July. "Rudolph the Red Nosed Maori"? (thank you Jon). Ku in a snow drift freezing off his royal Kamehamehas? Official rules to be placed HERE shortly. As a precaution I will collect some extra contact information from first time Swappers, like cell phone number. The last Swap had a bit of a hiccup but all has ended well. If we are going to have a Winter Swap, it's time to get started. I think the end of February is a reasonable end date. Looking for theme ideas. Also looking for ideas to help prevent a participant being shorted in their end of the swap. We have had a good core group of swappers but we have added some amazing artists in recent Swaps. I would like to make the Swap a little more secure but don't want to make it prohibitive to new artists. I am willing to lead again or let some one else take the reins, I don't need to hog up all the glory :wink: When you hurry through life, you just get to the end faster.

D danlovestikis Grand Member (8 years) Joined: Jun 17, 2002 Posts: 9216	D danlovestikis Posted posted on Sun, Nov 22, 2015 4:41 PM Just in time for me. I'm doing the last three Wish List projects so I can throw in one more. Where is the suggestion list left over from the last swap. Here's my new suggestion to add to the list. Do something based on your favorite mug in your personal collection. Thanks Mike and TU for putting on these fun swaps. As so people not following through...how about everyone promises to not flake out. Cheers, Wendy

T TikiAno Tiki Socialite San Diego, CA Joined: Aug 07, 2012 Posts: 1392	T TikiAno Posted posted on Mon, Nov 23, 2015 12:05 PM Mike, thanks for starting this up again! I'm in, hoping to make some more time for clay- and if this is the reason how/ why it happens, it works for me! I'm with Jon, either a Mad Dog Mike inspired work... Or, if that doesn't work for all... LOVE cy's idea. Leaves it open to a bunch of interpretations.... AND drinks. [ Edited by: TikiAno 2015-11-23 12:05 ]
E ErichTroudt Tiki Socialite SoCal Joined: Mar 27, 2002 Posts: 634	E ErichTroudt Posted posted on Mon, Nov 23, 2015 1:17 PM Tiki matchbooks, Tiki menus, or tiki hotel signs all sound good to me. As far as people flaking, I think time on TC or activity on TC should be considered. Also everyone sending MDM their real Name, Address, phone number and email in PM. People might be less likely to be shady if they cannot hide behind anonymity.

A AlohaStation Tiki Socialite So FL Joined: Sep 27, 2004 Posts: 2434	A AlohaStation Posted posted on Tue, Nov 24, 2015 10:51 AM I have missed the last 2 swaps and now I'm feeling the need to join. I'd like to do something that does not draw inspiration from established imagery, but rather allows the individual to express their own creative vision. Perhaps blending themes (TIKI theme is obvious) + ... Animal Zodiacs Hot Rod Seasons Cannibals Pin-up Military

L LoriLovesTiki Tiki Socialite NJ Joined: Jul 03, 2011 Posts: 1340	L LoriLovesTiki Posted posted on Tue, Nov 24, 2015 6:24 PM I was getting worried. I thought my inability to get motivated caused a problem but I'm relieved that isn't the case! I'm sorry to hear that somebody received but didn't send their art, that's not cool. Very un-aloha like for sure!!!! :( It's not a great excuse but my work is busier than it used to be due to a different teaching assignment but I've loved participating in past swaps and am hoping to join in again if you'll have me back.

T TikiDaye Tiki Socialite Florida, USA Joined: Mar 26, 2010 Posts: 154	T TikiDaye Posted posted on Wed, Nov 25, 2015 8:27 PM I think the end of February would be a good close date... I haven't been able to participate in the past couple of swaps but am looking forward to seeing what theme is chosen. A few swaps back I had completed and posted my swap piece but was inadvertently left out of the swap. (It wasn't a swap you were leading, Mike.) It was a bit of a bummer but my kids had really been liking my painting as I was working on it, so I just gave it to them :) Have a very happy Thanksgiving! Peace, Jason

If you did not get an email and would like to be on the list let me know

T TikiAno Tiki Socialite San Diego, CA Joined: Aug 07, 2012 Posts: 1392	T TikiAno Posted posted on Sat, Nov 28, 2015 6:43 PM To quote Hang10... Prior swaps were: Alien tiki Tiki album art Cannibals Sea creatures Pele/volcano/fire Ladies of tiki Birds of the pacific PNG Polynesian menu Shrunken head/ headhunter and to quote Mad Dog Mike... I HAVE LISTED THE TOPIC SUGGESTIONS HERE TO MAKE THEM EASIER TO SEE Tiki Animals Mythical Tiki Pinup Enchanted Tiki Room Tiki Bob Maori Tiki Waterfalls Pufferfish Moai Tiki Restaurant Logos Tiki Matchbooks Hawaiian Shirts I'm down for this Swap. I still dig cy's Tiki Drink theme, or Pufferfish, or Tiki Bob! Mike, what do YOU think?
M MadDogMike Grand Member (8 years) The Anvil of the Sun Joined: Mar 30, 2008 Posts: 11036	M MadDogMike Posted posted on Sat, Nov 28, 2015 7:35 PM Here are some other idea that have been put forth Zodiac Tiki Hot Rod Tiki Seasons Tiki Military Tiki TV Tiki Tiki Hotel Signs What do I like? I like themes that stretch me a bit and make me do some research. Themes that are broad enough that everyone doesn't do the same imagery but not so broad as to make a mockery of a theme (free-for-all Tiki). Seasons Tiki would be fun - depict your favorite Tiki in your favorite season or a montage of seasons. And since the soldiers returning from the South Pacific was so instrumental in bringing Tiki to the States, Military Tiki could be fun too.
JB Joshua Bell Tiki Socialite San Francisco Joined: Aug 22, 2006 Posts: 197	JB Joshua Bell Posted posted on Sat, Nov 28, 2015 7:58 PM TV Tiki sounds intriguing. Plenty of 1960s shows with Tiki inspired episodes or overall themes. There would likely be some overlap on choices, but the interpretations would differ.
T TikiAno Tiki Socialite San Diego, CA Joined: Aug 07, 2012 Posts: 1392	T TikiAno Posted posted on Sun, Nov 29, 2015 8:38 AM I will be the dissenting opinion on TV Tiki- only since I feel it will narrow down all's creativity (how many Brady Bunch tiki focused pieces)? Maybe I'm just thinking along the "wrong" lines, though... :) Mike, I'm all for things that makes for some research, as well as for thinking outside the box! Please note, I pulled the above post from an old post from Jon, though he probably stole it from one of Mad Dog's posts... :wink: I've got a good MadDog Mike work in my mind, though, if that is chosen..... (Such a good idea, too!) [ Edited by: TikiAno 2015-11-29 08:39 ]
L LoriLovesTiki Tiki Socialite NJ Joined: Jul 03, 2011 Posts: 1340	L LoriLovesTiki Posted posted on Sun, Nov 29, 2015 9:27 AM I'm intrigued with the "seasons" theme - I actually have an idea in my head for that. lol. I also like, actually love, pufferfish and animals in general. Lastly, the responses from Mike, Jon and Wendy made me smile! :)

T tikiskip Grand Member (8 years) Joined: Nov 26, 2005 Posts: 5994	T tikiskip Posted posted on Sun, Nov 29, 2015 4:49 PM Atomic tiki may be cool. If you say that's a crapy idea I won't be mad.

A AlohaStation Tiki Socialite So FL Joined: Sep 27, 2004 Posts: 2434	A AlohaStation Posted posted on Mon, Nov 30, 2015 7:13 AM I'm liking the idea of Zodiac Tikis. Do your own, or pick one? Lots of options for that one.

T TikiAno Tiki Socialite San Diego, CA Joined: Aug 07, 2012 Posts: 1392	T TikiAno Posted posted on Wed, Dec 2, 2015 2:21 PM Jon, YES!!!! A Mad Dog Grog (or "Mad Grog") theme works for me!!! Okay, it seems there's not quite a consensus of themes jumping out, I'm just glad it's not the Enchanted Tiki Room!!!!!! As I reread past suggestions, Tiki Animals seems like a fun idea that could head in any number of different directions. Or cy's idea is still at the top of my list. Whatever is chosen, this project is going to get me back to working on some clay, so I'm looking forward to it. #madgrogmike [ Edited by: TikiAno 2015-12-02 14:22 ]
M MadDogMike Grand Member (8 years) The Anvil of the Sun Joined: Mar 30, 2008 Posts: 11036	M MadDogMike Posted posted on Wed, Dec 2, 2015 7:21 PM Sorry for the delay, today has been BUSY and it not near over! :( :lol: You're right TikiAno, not much of a consensus. So I will have to make an executive decision and I choose..... SEASONS of TIKI. I think it is wide enough to include everyone's idea of Tiki and still have a unifying theme. Will allow any art media and is different than anything we have done before. Art will depict Tiki in a season-themed or holiday-themed setting. Winter, Spring, Summer, or Fall, Christmas, Halloween, 4th of July. "Rudolph the Red Nosed Maori"? (thank you Jon). Ku in a snow drift freezing off his royal Kamehamehas? Let the creation begin!

M MadDogMike Grand Member (8 years) The Anvil of the Sun Joined: Mar 30, 2008 Posts: 11036	M MadDogMike Posted posted on Fri, Dec 4, 2015 9:41 PM Seasoning? As in salt and pepper?

I figure it's all fair and nothing is too far outside the box. Skip, it would be my pleasure to draw your entry at the end of this swap, hope you jump on in!!
T tikiskip Grand Member (8 years) Joined: Nov 26, 2005 Posts: 5994	T tikiskip Posted posted on Sat, Dec 5, 2015 4:44 PM Thanks for the complement Cy. The holidays and a foot surgery will make it a bad time to join this time. BUT I need a t shirt made and you are great at that too, Sooo I do have a light for ya when you get time for a deal like that. Look forward to seeing the tiki art that comes from this swap….
T TikiAno Tiki Socialite San Diego, CA Joined: Aug 07, 2012 Posts: 1392	T TikiAno Posted posted on Sat, Dec 5, 2015 10:00 PM Mike (& cy), yes, EXACTLY like that. cy, I'd say great minds think alike, but I know what I'm working with, and it ain't much. Yes, my first thought was a Grog and Mad Dog salt & pepper shaker set. Okay, maybe that will be a bonus set. Hmmmm......
