T TikiG Tiki Socialite Riverside, California Joined: Jun 17, 2008 Posts: 1560	T TikiG Posted posted on Mon, Sep 21, 2009 11:47 AM I'm blown away at the offerings posted so far..I feel so lucky to be in the company of all you fine artists. Everything is so creative, original and seemingly spontaneous that I find myself questioning my self-imposed role as 'painter'. There's a sense that overwhelms me now..the sense of a glorious push to try new art forms beginning today (okay - tomorrow.) It's all very generous as well. But my God - bb moondog - a hand-carved tiki bob? That's way over the top in a liberal sense :wink: I'd trade a painting for that any day!

D danlovestikis Grand Member (8 years) Joined: Jun 17, 2002 Posts: 9081	D danlovestikis Posted posted on Wed, Sep 30, 2009 1:33 PM Ah, I'd just decided to post the bottom of my Zombie mug to inspire all the artists to also immortalize the Art Swap, ya beat me! Your Tahitian mug is terrific. Kinney you are as cute as your Moai. Mad Dog don't stop now you are on a roll, one more please. To everyone on this thread it would be wonderful to have your art in my home. Dan says he's a lucky man that I could enter this swap and he gets to increase his collection by 1 wonderful new piece of art. Jonesey, you are such a tease! I can't wait to see the next element. Here's the bottom of my mug. There's still much to do and October starts tomorrow. 31 days to finish up. Cheers, Wendy

I doubt that I'll squeeze out another menu inspired one before Halloween, but ya just never know. Clay, the original and most divine art media - Genesis 2:7 [ Edited by: MadDogMike 2009-09-30 18:33 ]

B beadtiki Tiki Socialite Bothell, Washington Joined: Aug 24, 2007 Posts: 930	B beadtiki Posted posted on Thu, Oct 1, 2009 1:29 PM I was inspired by one of the many pics posted on page 6? Anyway, I'm not a ceramics artists - I mostly play with beads (hence my name) but I've been returning to an old love - embroidery. Although I probably don't qualify for the swap, I am having a buttload of fun and want to share. This is what I have done so far. By the way - my hand is KILLING me from tracing on carbon paper with a knitting needle! LOL [ Edited by: beadtiki 2009-10-01 13:31 ]
T TikiG Tiki Socialite Riverside, California Joined: Jun 17, 2008 Posts: 1560	T TikiG Posted posted on Thu, Oct 1, 2009 1:59 PM GO! Beadtiki! GO! Love your design. Come to think of it...your choice of expression, embroidery, is a form you don't see everyday on TC. It reinforces my love of these swaps - these communal share-fests. Isn't it a joy to see all the different approaches here?

D danlovestikis Grand Member (8 years) Joined: Jun 17, 2002 Posts: 9081	D danlovestikis Posted posted on Fri, Oct 2, 2009 9:56 AM Beadtiki, you are spot on for the menu swap. I for one appreciate what it takes to make a perfect embroidery. I did a really poor attempt back in the 60's. I did flowers and peace symbols on my jeans, I wish I had them still. Yours is a whole different level and perfect for this swap. Wendy ps Jonesey stop taking about my bottom Dan's reading these. ps Mad Dog Mike you could too put this much on your bottom just get a tiny chisel, ouch!
B beadtiki Tiki Socialite Bothell, Washington Joined: Aug 24, 2007 Posts: 930	B beadtiki Posted posted on Fri, Oct 2, 2009 12:25 PM Thanks all for your support and kind words. It's funny that when I was younger I had NO patience for this type of thing - now I can't seem to get enough! By the way - if anyone is interested in rekindling your own love of embroidery, may I suggest Sublime Stitching by Jenny Hart. She is up-to-date and retro at the same time. I was drawn to her because she has some Tiki patterns: Anyhow, thanks again!

T tikiracer Member UK Joined: Sep 09, 2005 Posts: 462	T tikiracer Posted posted on Sat, Oct 3, 2009 10:58 PM Wow - some amazing pieces in this event, the theme has worked out to be perfect, flexible enough for everyone to use their strengths. Well here's my entry. Based on my Devil Reef Tiki Bar. Read more here http://www.devilreef.com Some TC chatter here http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=30447&forum=5&hilite=devil%20reef Approx 12x12" on wood panel, in acrylics. Which mounts about 2" away from the wall. Using the signature tiki from the bar menu, I've reworked it for this new square format menu style cover. Behind the painting are some battery powered green LEDs. To add some spooky sea green lighting to any bar. I'll also include a limited edition Deep One shot mug [in zombie green], a handmade green swizzle stick and wooden bar mat.

Tikiracer - that's really cool - I personally love that backlighting effect. My folks' tv has that too! I recently decided I like that calming effect of lighted water "shadows" on walls - that underwater feel. Kind of hard to do needlework in that lighting though!

B beadtiki Tiki Socialite Bothell, Washington Joined: Aug 24, 2007 Posts: 930	B beadtiki Posted posted on Wed, Oct 7, 2009 11:24 AM TJ - I'm from the Seattle area and wasn't aware there was ANOTHER Canlis restaurant. No doubt the Hawaii one is the original but we still have a Canlis here - it's just "updated" for the times and still too pricey for us average folk! Nice work by the way! What is you medium?
