I can't even begin to describe how little justice the photo does to the purple tiki!
(Although I keep looking at it and thinking it's a big piece of tiki hard candy...)
It's BEAUTIFUL, john, I love it!

thank you so much pj, i am so happy you like it! whenever i make and send something, no matter how many pictures are sent, there is always that anxious feeling until i see the reaction.
thanks, john

-john

Rounded Stand alone tiki candle shields!
See no, Hear no, Speak no.. Tiki
Tiki 3 Piece Band

Hockey Goalie Tiki

The green one with the skull beads is pretty sweet. Do you sell these at any local stores, or do you stricktly sell through your site?

thanks raffertiki,
right now i in communications some distributors, until they are finalized the glass is for sale through my site. just shoot over a pm or email
-john

this feller isn't complete yet but i had to show him off! and once again i know the picture isn't good :)

Not complete? Can you add more glass, and refire? I like where you're headed with this guy.

he hasnt been fired yet, so i can still play with the design - once fired all the hard sharp edges will round out for a nicer look. i can only fire a piece about 3-4 times before the glass becomes dulled in places

John, I cn tell how you're having a blast with your fused glass creations. You've just got it dialed in & having fun with it now. It's pretty fascinating to me. Put it all together, slide it in the kiln & see what comes out. I've got some friends in Chandler. Next time out I'd like to look you up. Keep it up, your work is so cool!

Nice stuff - I am so amazed at the different mediums people are using on this site to create tikis - excellent!

thanks i really appreciate all the comments and compliments! the lil feller will be done tomorrow, the only thing i added was my "trademark" belly button :). also, aaron's next time you're around lemme know
-john

these are the new prototypes for my newest tiki pendant line. for my other tikis i use regualr colors, these feature the dichroic glass which appears metallic and changes colors. you cant tell from the pic but the layer of clear glass encapsulates the colored glass and has a magnifying effect similar to a drop of water
-john

Hey john.... I agree, this is cool stuff! I like the prototypes too. Those would make great tie pins.

Definitly cool pendants. I Likeee

John, I would buy these! Love em!!

John you ae treading down some new paths here. totally cool stuff. Your craftmanship with glass (and small pieces of glass) is unbelievable.

Those last magnified tikis are by far my favorites - sams right they'd make cool tie tacks, or cuff links or earings...or...whatever. totally cool. Keep posting your stuff...I'm diggin it!

thanks for all the compliments and kind words everybody! i have the findings to make pins and earrings so i am going to make those tonight along with a tiki-swizzlestick. pics to follow!
thanks, john :)

Here is the first girl tiki creation, i wanted to go with the hula girl theme with coconut halves and grass skirt mvement lines.

fo shizzle a swizzle!

again, this is a prototype, more to follow
-john

Hey John, I think you are on to something with the swizzle sticks. If you make a set with that dichroic glass I'm interested.

sign me up for some swizzles too...absolutely!!

and one of those cool beads...

yep...(sorry, it's early, I don't talk a lot in the morning)

Great swizzle stick... very cool!

Glad you got the swizzles to work. :)

john love prototype number one. The only thing that could make them better is not being a "prototype"

yeah when there not protos ill take a set.

now that all the components work and look good, from this point they are production pieces. right now i am getting ready for the artwalk in phoenix tonight, next week i'll have some created and will post pics of the colors and designs
:) john
