We are just back from our trip to Monterey. It was fun to log on and find out how far my mug would travel. Not far at all! Northern California to Southern California. This is a great way to make friends, I've gotten a few more this round and that's terrific. I hope we can do this again. I've always thought that artists were drawn to tiki and this proves it. Everyone worked hard and its shows. Of course Dan loved getting the naughty art. See you all next time, Wendy ps when our swap is here we will post photos as requested

T TikiMookie Member No Cal Joined: Feb 12, 2007 Posts: 177	T TikiMookie Posted posted on Sat, Nov 7, 2009 9:07 AM Hi everyone. Wow, amazing works of art. How I wish I could have participated. Mom is still with us. I'm home for a break, then back up to help next week (she's terminal with cancer). She lives in the boonies and the wireless was down, unfortunately. I'm hoping they have that fixed next week. At least I have a good book to read and I'm working on writing a screenplay adaptation of a book, I have the authors permission and I've got about 30 pages so far. It's something fun I can do to keep my sanity! I may need to bring some tiki stuff up to Mom's, I'm home this weekend and I miss it so much! It's fun to check in with TC and see what everyone is doing. I hope I can participate in the next art swap. I'll keep checking back. Great job everyone!

T TikiG Tiki Socialite Riverside, California Joined: Jun 17, 2008 Posts: 1560	T TikiG Posted posted on Mon, Nov 16, 2009 8:29 AM Wendy - I'm happy to see a smiling Dan with his painting! Its my absolute pleasure knowing one of my pieces is in your home (I'm also happy you like the quartz crystal: Light and love for your environment direct from Mother Earth). The art swap is such a nice way to meet people whom I may never have met otherwise. I look forward to the next one (an understatement!) Wendy & Dan, I look forward to meeting you at Tiki Oasis 10. Oh yeah - the 1967 photograph was taken at the famous Kono Hawaii restaurant that used to be in Santa Ana (Orange County) California. My mother, Karen seated on the left- upon close scrutiny a Mai Tai is found in front of her. My father, Tanner and myself (four years old) seated on the right. My 'cocktail' - probably a Shirley Temple - has a large straw with umbrella stuck in the top. My expression is sheer joy! This photo is my most prized 'tiki' possession. Thanks for asking about it. Til next time, Cheers!

I had wanted to make a volcano mug but was having problems coming up with a shape that I liked. Then I saw the Blue Lagoon menu art and "the rest is history" :) Thank you all for the inspiration.
