Hey guys! I've been AWOL for a while but I'm back!!!!

Just back from an Alaskan cruise, it was beautiful. Such a difference from the desert where I live.

Time to GET SERIOUS about my Swap progect, I've still got a few days off before I return to work

MadDogMike posted on 07/19/2019

The plan is for a Rapa Nui Lamp with two cut out Moais and two cut out Birdmen. But I broke one of the Moai's noses already. Fortunately I have more gourds

So Plan B is to drill the holes to make a "pierced" style lamp. I've already ruined this gourd so I'll use it to test piece

I have seen gourd lamps in this style that project the design on the wall when the lamp is lit

M
MadDogMike posted on 07/19/2019

I stained the gourd a bit with some wood stain for more contrast and took a Dremel to the area inside the Birdman. I like the concept but after a little research I found that I need some alcohol based ink stain to properly stain the gourd.

OK, now to start on a new gourd

M
MadDogMike posted on 07/19/2019

Natural color on left, new gourd on right dyed with alcohol ink and antiqued

One birdman carved out, 3 more to go. As long as I don't jack it up or eat a finger with the Dremel :o

Funny,
In first picture you posted above
it looks like there’s a giant wall of water coming toward you two.
Ice, but it looks like a tidal wave.

Great idea Mike
Lookin good

MadDogMike posted on 07/20/2019

Technically Jon, it is a big wall of water :lol:

Just about done. Went to Lowe's earlier to get new Dremel bits and forgot to buy lamp parts

I decided to add some spirals to fill in the open areas.

Wendy I didn't wear a mask with all that dust yesterday and I was sufferin' last night - wheezin' and sneezin' :lol:
Today Teresa made me wear a mask (she's a keeper!)

Okay, its a race to the finish line but I'm confident it will be done sometime Saturday. Its amazing how months turn to weeks, then days. This is the first tiki I have carved with a knife, so its been a learning process.

MaukaHale wow using a knife is really hard.

MadDogMike I love it when you do the line ups. I really like the thread where you put all the swaps together.

The 27th is almost here. We won't be at Tiki Oasis this year so no matter what I'm shipping my swap mug.

Cheers, Wendy

Wendy,

This is the carving knife I'm using.

I sharpen it frequently with the leather strop.

Yes, I always do the drawing the day after the deadline. I'm don't think there will be any unexpected last minute entries. But then again, If I thought there would be a last minute entry, it wouldn't be unexpected :lol: TrAvElInG JoNeS, are you out there with a project? :D

Great Swap everyone, thank you for playing :D
If you want, check with your Swap partner to see if you will both be attending Tiki Oasis so that you can swap in person. Otherwise, you can mail your art out to your partner ASAP. Send your mailing address to your partner and be sure to post picture of your new art in it's new home.
