H hewey Tiki Socialite Sydney, Australia Joined: Sep 14, 2004 Posts: 4283	H hewey Posted posted on Thu, Jan 24, 2008 3:14 PM How ‘bout it? :D I say we make deadline for pieces by the end of February. Everyone who has completed a piece throws up some pics on here, and their name goes into the draw, and names are drawn by an independent third party who isn’t participating in the swap. Original art only, no prints or resin repros. Open to all carvers, painters etc. Whatever medium you like – just keep in mind, we have had people from US, Hawaii, UK, NZ and Australia in the past – so there’s a good chance you’ll be sending it overseas, so don’t make it too large or too heavy! For a theme I suggest we go with “New Zealand tiki”. That leaves plenty of scope for variety, but keeps it to a key theme. :D I have been absolutely stoked with both tiki swap pieces I have received so far! I’m just greedy and I want another… :lol: EDIT: We'll bump the date to end of March There is "good" bad taste, and there is "bad" bad taste, and the difference of the two is in the eye of the beholder - Sven Kirsten [ Edited by: hewey 2008-01-28 22:52 ] [ Edited by: hewey 2008-04-03 22:21 ]

I've really been wanting to do this again, I love the pieces I've received immensely. I like the theme, as with the others it should be challenging for me, but do-able. Thanks so much for bringing it up! I'll get started this weekend!

(hope no-one minds a pretty 'standard' version from me, but Mrs T and I will be heading away for the best part of two weeks in Feb & I wont have time to attempt anything more elaborate..) Ill be eagerly awaiting prog shots for this swap round! Get your names down people! Tama :)

I think you need to post a thread at least 2 months before a potential deadline - that gives us 1 month to thrash stuff out and get participants on board, and another to get the work made.

T tok-tok Member North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany Joined: Oct 17, 2007 Posts: 148	T tok-tok Posted posted on Mon, Jan 28, 2008 4:47 PM I am not sure, if I understood this all right. It is not just stone-carving? And the theme "new zealand tiki" means it has to be a tiki inspired by new zealand art? Are patterns, hooks and spirals etc. included? Or should it really only be a tiki? Please explain this to the dump german. tok-tok

H hewey Tiki Socialite Sydney, Australia Joined: Sep 14, 2004 Posts: 4283	H hewey Posted posted on Mon, Jan 28, 2008 11:32 PM Okay, I've bumped the due date to end of March, due to popular demand :D :D It is not just stone-carving? And the theme "new zealand tiki" means it has to be a tiki inspired by new zealand art? Are patterns, hooks and spirals etc. included? "new zealand style" was probably a better description, sorry. Any medium you wish, so long as it sticks to the theme, and you're willing to send it overseas. Previously we've had jade carvings, stone carvings, wood carvings, paintings, lamps etc. :D :D some pics for inspiration:

R Robin Member where the road and the sky collide Joined: Jul 01, 2007 Posts: 402	R Robin Posted posted on Fri, Feb 1, 2008 5:19 AM Hi there babalu....this is great, way to jump right in....fierce Maori bunny...of course you know he heeds to be a warrior is he lives in New Zealand. Not so fond of rabbits there. He looks wonderful. p.s.i didn't like that clay either.
B Babalu Tiki Socialite Lemon Grove Joined: Nov 19, 2006 Posts: 2518	B Babalu Posted posted on Sat, Feb 2, 2008 9:08 PM Thanks you guys, but I have made up my mind to bag this one...I really don't like this type of clay all that much. Don't worry, I'm not going to force any rabbit flavored south seas art work on you guys for this little trade...I plan on dishing up something pure New Zealand for you all.

LLT little lost tiki Tiki Socialite Orange,CA-right near the Circle! Joined: Jun 12, 2006 Posts: 7763	LLT little lost tiki Posted posted on Sat, Mar 1, 2008 2:04 PM Just spent 1/2 of my weekly studio time and busted out this for the SWAP! It's ink on Arches watercolor paper...around 12x16 with a blackline of sumi ink pin,finepoint sharpie and highlights done with gouache..... Being a New Zealand theme, i decided to have a little fun with this one.... I named it "High-Tiki/Maori Wrowiee".... i totally groove on his eyelids at half-mast! :lol: I'v always thought the curves and the rhythms of NZ art to be very psychedelic and alive... This was born of that concept.... Only a month kids! Let's see what you little geniuses have for this SWAP! Visit http://www.kenruzic.com and Trip Out y'all!
