Being that I am one HUGE Tiki tOny Fan and strive to collect the brightest, most colorful Tiki tOny mugs I can find I had a brilliant idea! Last December I Commissioned Tiki tOny himself to create me a drinking vessel, a HUt! like those tOny created his paintings. I had a ton of idea's in my head & tOny allowed me to some input then put it to all to life. It is an amazing work of art! I am honored to own this First One of a Kind Original by Tiki tOny. It was completed and delivered in early April 2007. I was telling Ken Ruzic "Little Lost Tiki" to go to Ooga Mooga and see it. Ken suggested I show it here in TC so that it might be enjoyed by ALL collectors of art not just mug collectors. I was reluctant to do so, kind of not my style, but Ken was right. So tah dah!...showing you a small glimpse of it and invite you to see it in my collection in Ooga-Mooga and read more about it. I will soon have better pictures as well. You may view it here: http://www.ooga-mooga.com/cgi-bin/all/mug.cgi?mode=view&mug_id=2509 be sure to see all photos :) let me know you enjoyed it! A Million Mahaloz Again tOny & aLeNe, I Love it!

Seeing elements taken from paintings and made into something three dimensional always gives me a little thrill.

Hip for getting the idea to commission Tiki Tony and TT for such a beautiful job! When I first opened this thread and saw that pop up I was completely like,"HOLY FREAKIN' ACID TRIP BATMAN!!" I think the shrooms are startin' to kick in and an Ohana Hut landed in Alice in Wonderland! So when do we start drinkin'?

B Babalu Tiki Socialite Lemon Grove Joined: Nov 19, 2006 Posts: 2518	B Babalu Posted posted on Wed, May 2, 2007 7:02 AM HipHipaHula, This is just an incredible piece. You are very fortunate to have this one in your collection. Tiki tOny has a wonderful style....his low fire glaze work is exceptional. Those trees just blow me away. It looks like he fired those in position? Do they move? Your pictures are very nice, and that fabric is sweet, but I would try to shoot this one a white back drop too. The white color sure makes artwork stand out nicely. Congratulations!

I don't have an encyclopedic knowledge of Beachbum Berry's Books, nor do I consider myself a professional mixologist, but I worked with the ingrediants I had in my home bar and came up with a tasty drink. In a perfect world, I would be able to harvest actual sap from a TuKi tuKi tree to include in this, but this is my best approximation. TuKi tuKi Hut (serves two) One Shot of Trader Vic's Macadamia Nut Liqueur One Shot of Peach Schnapps One Shot of Key Lime Juice One Shot of Creme de Banana A Double Shot of 10 Cane Rum A Scotch Tumbler full of Fresh Pineapple Juice A Highball Glass Filled with Ice 3 Lime Cherries Impaled on an Umbrella for Garnish on Each Glass Pink Straws Must be Used (in Honor of HipHipaHula) Dump all the ingrediants into a blender (except for garnish) and blend well, then pour back into two chilled highball glasses, garnish, and enjoy. Might want to throw in a couple of extra cubes to let it chill. For HipHipaHula's Hut, you would probably have to multiply everything in the recipe times two. There was nobody around when I invented this on my lunch break so I had to drink both! :) Pictures Below...
T tikitony Tiki Socialite Ventura, CA Joined: Aug 18, 2002 Posts: 861	T tikitony Posted posted on Wed, May 2, 2007 11:26 PM Well, I do have to thank Hiphipahula for master minding this creation! I had a drawing of this type of mug in my sketchbook dated 2005, but I would have probably never made one if it weren't for Hiphipahula's enthusiasm and creativity. After all, where else can her little menehune's sleep at night? They were keeping her up all night because they were getting freeked out by Tiki Diablo's Dr. Jivarro stairing at them. I really do love the enthusiasm from everybody, thankyou! You make the labor intesive hours exciting! As for the Wicky trees and wicky stump, those are made of my favorite material... driftwood and palmwood, not ceramic as thought. They'd be too delicate for my packaging abilities if they were ceramic. They are removeable, and can be repositioned. The Tuki tUki Hut was painstakenlly glazed by the meticulous hands of perfection, Alene! Thanks again Hiphipahula for the great opportunity!

Funny, when tOny finished the hut I met up with tOny & Alene cause we just didn't want to risk shipping it. The Hut does come apart & as tOny was saying the wiKi Trees & sTump are made of Palm & Beachwoods.
