Handmade Tikis from Ukraine - Locating Tiki

He sends pictures of each tiki you buy of the creation process. He does, per chance, live in Ukraine. He makes more than tikis, but his tikis are a great style. I struck up a conversation with him through the Etsy messenger and promised him I'd spread his name. I can't promise he'll still be making regularly and I can only presume the shipping will be delayed with the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, but I felt more than obligated to share his store due to his amazing pieces and current situation. Again, his store name is ArtThroughWood on Etsy. I've included some photos. [ Edited by Giant_Squidy on 2022-06-27 20:34:39 ]

They make some good stuff.

Hello everyone,

I recently purchased a couple tikis from someone on Etsy, artist shop named ArtThroughWood, and they're one of a kind, hand made, tikis. He sends pictures of each tiki you buy of the creation process. He does, per chance, live in Ukraine.

He makes more than tikis, but his tikis are a great style.

I struck up a conversation with him through the Etsy messenger and promised him I'd spread his name. I can't promise he'll still be making regularly and I can only presume the shipping will be delayed with the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, but I felt more than obligated to share his store due to his amazing pieces and current situation.

Again, his store name is ArtThroughWood on Etsy.

I've included some photos. ArtThroughWood Tikis Tiki in prog 2 tiki in prog 4 Ukraine Tikis
