Thanks guys
The idea was to burn designs on forehead, chin, and sides of nose.
Attempted nose 1st,
Not sure why but it didn't work (at all)!!!!!!!

Ended up removing sides of nose
Scrapped the design ideas

So just leaving it as is
Sorry
Not what I wanted

Will post pics when gloss dry

If u guys want to kick me off the island I'll understand

If I had more time I'd make something else

:(

I just love these countdowns!!! Thank you hang10tiki

So sorry to hear about your burnt nose. That's worse than all the runny noses I've just had trouble with. I bet you fixed it good enough for trading.

Tiki Ano you have turned into MadDogMike with your extra project. Now I'm feeling lazy.

Cheers, Wendy

Busy day for me today, just back yesterday from 2 weeks in Tahoe and Ensensada, MX - just in time for my daughter and I to put on a Brazil themed Olympic party tonight (pics later :wink: ). So I'll do a quick and simple post now and make it pretty later :D

Final count is 9 Swappers this time so the last 3 swap in a "circular" fashion

Mike, thanks once again for organizing! What a great swap.

Excited to swap for my first time with cy (in person at Oasis, even better!!)

Re: the hongi tile, it will definitely be glaze fired before Oasis- I will post photos when I first get it, then will bring it to cy along with the other piece (and some other goodies, too).

Look forward to seeing everyone with their new art.

TikiAno posted on 08/08/2016

While I think this was fired before the Swap names were chosen, but I wanted to post the finished "Hongi" wall tile. cy, this is going to you, whether you like it or not. :) It's slightly abstract, the noses can be seen as noses or as part of a landscape. I've always been a fan of the personal Maori greeting.

It's approximately 4" square, w/ a hangar on the back. There's a thin gloss coat, which didn't quite come out in the photo.

TikiAno posted on 08/24/2016

Mike, I'm not sure how you came and went and we never saw each other! Jeez Louise. Bummed but hope you come back West for a visit.

I was able to see Wendy & Dan, cy, and Jon a bit- well, not enough time with any of them, of course. cy and I swapped pieces on Saturday at his booth at Tiki Oasis. Man, if you haven't had the opportunity to see his work in person, it's truly breathtaking. I love stalking his carving thread but really dig seeing all of the creativity and amazing carving skills in person.

I have yet to finalize the best location for his Art Swap piece in the home bar (Oasis schwag not yet unpacked), so I'll post the photos that Jon graciously took. I'll post a photo of the groovy Frog Island Tikis t-shirt, too!

This greeted a number of visitors to cy's booth:

What a great Tiki Oasis. Being surrounded by friends is just the best ever. This swap was fun too. I'm already looking forward to the next one.

You guys rock!!! Wendy

MadDogMike posted on 08/24/2016

TikiAno, I just stopped by for about an hour and a half so it was easy for us not to connect :(

Hey I have an idea! Each year Tiki Oasis has a theme (this year was Monster Island) maybe we can make next summer's Art Swap the same as the TO theme? I will admit some of the TO themes have been kinda lame and not very "tiki" but at least we can consider it.

TikiAno posted on 08/24/2016

Mike, if it's Disney themed that I may not participate... :wink: :wink: Ha ha ha.

Well, sorry I missed you, Mike, anyways...

I hear they're recycling the Spy theme from 2 or 3 years ago? Or maybe that's a rumor... ??

I'd vote to keep the Swap different from Oasis- though it's a bit more work, it will keep the Swaps more "original" and creative focused. Okay, this is pretty much the same argument I used re: Disney. Good to be consistent, though, right???

Besides, I like hearing what everyone comes up with (and by "everyone," I mean "Mike") :)
