Wow that's wonderful Or Got Rum. I looked at every spec right down to the colored stones of the fireplace. Very cool. Tiki Ano there was a photo of fb of Ken after a day of brushing burnt tikis. He was covered in soot. I hope you are able to clean it off! |

Looks fantastic Hang 10 Thanks Wendy...I (weirdly) also like the way the fiberglass shade came out...my scan is slightly smaller and not real sharp...and Fonts and straight line design (the logo) is my nemesis |

Or Got Rum, beautiful work, I also love all of the details. Hang10, another fantastic piece. Send to San Diego! Swap is looking great. I finally got to staining, it's drying now and will do some more later today or tomorrow. So far: (the sides are also stained, just doesn't look like it in photo). As of now it looks less 'authentic' witco as the stain looks too thin (and light for Witco) will wait for it to dry then take another look. Any thoughts?

Tiki Ano the woodgrain showing through the stain is part of the beauty of your piece, don't hide that with more stain. This is a good year and Sunday morning is going to be so much fun. |

Thanks all. Or Got Rum, ha, funny you said it looked sharp, I was going to round off the edges, hmmm.... Hang10, I have most of my toes, I may have more but there was a lot of sawdust flying around..... Wendy, I agree, I wire brushed it some more to add a little more texture, here is current look (with sharper edges). Will put a hanger on back, will post photos when 'officially' done. |

Sorry I’m a little late to the party. I just got back from a cruise. Here is the piece that I chose to replicate. I decided to do a “Sunken Witco” version of it. I carved the piece with a dremel, burned and stained it. I created a frame and backer board. Then I sculpted a couple of small barnacles. Last I added some aging and “moss.” I hope you like it.

Mike, I wasn't done yet, but I am now. I'd found this video from the Art Institute of Chicago highlighting a technique that Paul Gauguin used to tint his prints with watercolors and thought it was appropriate for this project. Gauguin's Process | Making Wood-Block Prints This finished product |

WOW - Dray1218 and Hammo, wonderful tiki art for the SWAP. Looking forward to seeing MadDogMike's page when he showcases all the submissions. He also adds them to the historical Swap page. It's so much fun to look back on them all. Thank you MadDogMike and TikiCentral for coming back again. Only hours left to submit. Keep them coming please. |

Slight delay, I ran to Lowes for something LOL I'll come through later to pretty this up and post a video of the drawing. Contact your partner to get a shipping address, be sure to pack them appropriately so they arrive intact. I have several of Wendy's ceramic pieces but don't have one of her black velvets, I'm excited! [ Edited by MadDogMike on 2024-07-22 15:29:49 ] |

We have all swapped with each other more than once. I thought every piece was special and worth hoping for, but Dan said he was crossing his fingers to get MadDogMike's mug. Thrilled to have this mug. Thank you MadDogMike for running another fun swap. I can't ever retire from them because they are such a fun way to connect. Hugs and congratulations everyone, Wendy |

Thanks Mad Dog once again, I'll try to take a "glamor shot" before shipping and will post. So many great pieces in this Swap- Dray and Hamo, love the final updates, both are killer- and everyone involved - well, except for Hang10, is so lucky to have their swap partner. Mad Dog, thanks for reaching out, I do love these Swaps! :) |

Will, Thank you for the compliment. I’m sure it’s a bit of a Monet (looks good from far). I really enjoy participating in these swaps every year. It always pushes me a bit outside my comfort zone. |

I think that the app that did the drawing had a brain and chose to swap a Witco fountain painting (mine) for a Witco fountain mug (MadDogMike's). Our swap mug has arrived. It was artfully packaged by Mike so it's perfect. Dan worked on a shelf in the tiki jungle room and now the mug is beautifully displayed. Thank you, Mike, for another fun swap. |

Beautifully displayed Wendy! I opened my box to find Wendy's painting to be lovingly gift wrapped and accompanied by a big mamma jamma swizzle from Max's So much vibrant and sparkly in person. It will be a while before I can post a picture of it displayed. My art was if full and I need to rearrange everything to make more space. I also need to get a piece of UV glass to put over it as my Tiki space is outside in the patio. I don't want it to fade or get dusty! |

I've been running around like a couple chickens with their heads cut off (plus or minus a couple of toes) and forgot to post!! I received Hang 10's amazing work VERY quickly- well packed of course with a motherload of swizzles, thank you Jon!!! (My daughter ran off with a few, I think she's making some cocktails in her tea set). It's great to have swapped with others before, I'm enjoying my Hang10 collection (not all pictured).... (after posting this just realized that Hang10's latest piece is laying down- I had walked into the tiki sunroom to take a photo of the Goof sculpt to send to Jon and didn't realize it was in the photo- see: earlier comment re: running around without a head or two). What a great swap, let me know if anyone will be at Oasis, I live nearby and have a big job at the SD Zoo to work on Saturday AM but will be hopping back and forth throughout the weekend... ALSO... if anyone wants the Witco pdf, pls message me your email and I can send it on over- happy to share as I think it's a pretty incredible resource and a very cool lil piece of history.... |
