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.

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 |

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.

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. |

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) + ...

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. |

I think the end of February would be a good close date... 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, |

To quote Hang10... Prior swaps were: Alien tiki and to quote Mad Dog Mike... I HAVE LISTED THE TOPIC SUGGESTIONS HERE TO MAKE THEM EASIER TO SEE I'm down for this Swap. I still dig cy's Tiki Drink theme, or Pufferfish, or Tiki Bob! Mike, what do YOU think? |

Here are some other idea that have been put forth 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. |

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. |

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 ] |

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 ] |
