Is this acceptable with the group and prospective swap partner?

We have 3 options;
#1 - We continue the Swap drawing on 8/1 as planned and include Traveling Jones :D
#2 - We delay the drawing until after Traveling Jones finishes his project and do the drawing on 8/5, this could cause problems with anyone swapping at Tiki Oasis on 8/10
#3 - We exclude Traveling Jones from this Swap :(

Traveling Jones has successfully completed 5 Art Swaps (beautiful work I might add) and this piece is obviously almost done. My vote is to continue as planned and do the drawing on the 1st with TJ included. Please feel free to voice an opinion, either here or to me confidentially in a PM if you wish.
Thanks

My vote is for number one. Which beach? I don't think there is a beach in MadDogMikes desert. However he has sand and can make a beach like Polynesian Paddy made.


Wonderful art everyone. PS hang10tiki you have outdone yourself!

Aloha peoples!! Long time no talk to most of you. I've been lurking on this most awesome art swap wondering, wondering if I would have time to do something. I'm gonna give it a shot! I started on this block of wood yesterday and have been burning some midnight oil.

Bad news is I'm gonna be out of town tomorrow night and Sunday. Hmmm.... Well we'll see what happens. Here's what I have so far.





Did you guess what it's trying to be?

First off let me say the art for this swap is absolutely incredible! That's why I had to jump in here. :wink:

So it looks like me and TravelingJones racing to the finish line! Well, I got up early this morning (booooo) to try and get ahead of this thing. Good news is I think I'm 95% done!!

Haha, just kidding.... but good progress.

The beach is nice but the internet connection is spotty. My plan is to do the drawing about mid-morning tomorrow MBT (Mexican Beach Time), we'll see if the internet connection cooperates :o

Are you doing the drawing on Monday or Tuesday? What I'm really asking is the last day to complete the projects today or Monday?

TheBigT posted on 07/31/2017

Hey guys, all done! Well I just need to stain it. Do I have a little time tomorrow to stain? I thought the time constraint was last day of July? :P

If so, I'll stain in the morning and be ready to goooo!

Thanks guys. The bowl was hollowed out with a rounded carbide blade on an angle grinder. That was the easy part! LOL :P

I'll post of pic of the blade later.

MadDogMike posted on 07/31/2017

So cool BigT!!!

Wendy and Mauka, I will be drawing on Tueday 8/1. The Swap is set to end 7/31 so I have always taken that to mean 7/31 is the last day to finish. I will be drawing Tuesday morning about 10 Pacific time assuming I can get an internet connection. I tried to get on a few times today and wasn't able to log on :(

Looks like we are working on 14 Swap participants this time!

To answer the earlier question about hollowing out the bowl, here's the tool I used. It's a Kutzall brand grinding wheel in my angle grinder. Also shaped the initial outside of the bowl with a flatter grinder wheel. These metal wheels are kind of expensive but last way longer than the paper and cardboard wheels available. If you really wanted to get all fancy you would probably want to turn the inside of a bowl like this on a lathe and get a really nice symmetrical bowl. Plus you could get a deeper cut inside than what I was able to do with the wheel.

Here's what we've got now. Am I missing anyone? Is there anyone else coming in with a last minute project? Can someone else please look through the posts and see if there was someone else? I don't want to miss anyone. I usually list them in alphabetic order and poor ZeroTiki always ends up at the bottom. So I'm reversing this time :lol:

Mike,

Thank you for keeping the swap alive. I have to say I've created things I would have never created before without this opportunity. I studied art in high school and college but after college that was the end of it until I jumped into the art swap.

Tu I look forward to seeing your paintings.

hang10tiki this is so special after all the swaps that have passed. We will be at Oasis on Saturday at the 1 PM artists reception where the art is hung. I will bring your mug there. I hope you'll bring my treasure. Love trading with you.

Thank you MadDogMike. This has been another super fun swap. You do them so well. When is the next one????

Hey TJ - fortuitous swap? We both needed time to make a slight tweak right at the end. No worries. Your new bowl is drying and I'll splash some clear coat on it before I ship. :)
