MaukaHale, good thought!

Todd Lockers black velvet wish. He has named it The Watcher. He gave me a list of what to put into the painting. The tiny cats which he owns were my only suggestion. Then they were so hard to paint. I used a 1 hair brush.

Wow, Nice job Wendy...great composition from the Moai through to the sky...pulls you from front to back

OGR thank you. It's really fun to paint on black velvet. It's even more fun to read comments!

The black velvet wish of Crystal Caldwell is finished. It was based on a vintage black velvet but plants and even an added hut on the right changed it up.

Awesome

Thank you hang10tiki, I appreciate your message.

I did this black velvet painting for the Tiki Central 2025 Summer Swap. It's all done but the swap is a ways off. Check out "other crafts" if you would like to join in.

On 8/11/25 I finished the wish of Ryan Stowe. He requested I do a painting of Tiki Bob's I had made in ceramics. Here's how it turned out. Finished and then framed.

In 2023 I did the Frank mug for Frankoma Pottery Company. Right after I went to work on more projects requested by Dennis Glascock the owner. Here's the next one I've sculpted. He wanted to bring back the War God designed by Joniece Frank. It's as close a copy to the original that I could do.

On 9/27/25 it's being released at this event.

Here it is in the middle between the Frank mug and the Frank's head mug.

Here are the first four colors.

They have started on a 5th. Violet.

I'm enjoying sculpting for Frankoma. There are more projects I've sculpted being molded and worked on. I'm looking forward to their release.

Just a couple more photos of the mugs I sculpted for Frankoma.

I have finished the Wish List for black velvet paintings.

This one was for Richard Parker. All his favorite things in one painting.

It's fun to paint other people's ideas. Cheers, Wendy

Now hung at Richard Parkers home!

I did a wish for my husband Dan. It's my Hot Tub Hula Girl Mug on a wooden pineapple plate. A fun and quick project.
