Art Swap 2025 - Tiki Pendants

Well, I think Dan is man enough for a necklace of that size hang10tiki. Works for us. Just get a 100 pound test chord to hang it by!

lol

Hei Tiki

Amazing!!!

Yes! hang10tiki that's perfect. 3 of us so far. I hope others start showing their work soon.

🙏🏽

hang10tiki he's a doll. Will he hang in that position, or will the rope be at the top of his head?

Yes he will, I was thinking the necklace would go through the arm

Just need to finish him by working on the neck and face

That will work. Looking forward to the tweak.

Well

Sad news

CY is out of this one

😞

Howard feed-n-wax next

Then solarez his eyes 👀

Just needs the cord!

Need help:

Paint the tongue red or no??!!??!!??

No reply

So

To late

I was in bed reading by 8:30 PM. Looks good so you made a good decision.

Come on tiki people start posting. So far, it's a 3-way.

Sorry guys, I was out of the country. Well technically, Missouri is not out of the country but it seemed like another world LOL
Looks awesome Hang10Tiki! The red tongue looks great, good call. Sorry to here CY won't be joining us

27 July is almost here

pennjones my entire tiki career started with Sculpey clay. I'm really looking forward to seeing what you do with it.

Sculpty is so versatile, have fun!

Hoping it's at least 4!!!

I’m reaching out to a mighty fine carver in Florida to see if he wants to jump in

LOL

Good news, he just finished his necklace this morning, and he said he will ship it anywhere in the world. I thought it looked a bit heavy, but he said it’s not.

Here it is standing tall next to him

😆

I'm excited but it will be more like being hung from a tiki rather than a tiki being hung around my neck.

LOL, crazy Will!

I will be finished on time! Just working out a few things!!

Still got plenty of time pennjones, excited to see what you come up with :D

PJ Pics??

Will Where r u???

Hey, you guys

Goonies never say die

hang10tiki, Oregon coast?

Hang10 I just saw some kind of a Goonies screening in San Diego in the historic Balboa Theatre but it's just a one time event and I can't make it for that show

Here’s a little sneaki peeki at my tiki

Lookin' good pennjones!!!

pennjones I love tikis with skulls. This is going to be really good.

Awesome

I 3D printed this Marquesan U'u War Club Swizzle today

Without the stick and printed a little bigger it could make a cool pendant. Here's the steps to make it. 3D printing may not a legitimate art form but not always as simple as downloading a model and printing it. I've always enjoyed the Marquesan U'u War Club. I looked for an existing 3D model but didn't find one so I made one.

Found this image of an U'u

Ran it through a image to 3D program and it gave me this. Not too bad but has a few problems

The side view shows it is too thin

Then there's this "face" The bottom part looks like Jimmy Durante's nose. The two on top look like the upside down genitals on Michelangelo's David.

So I sliced off that face

I thought Tangaroa faces would be good there but couldn't find a ready made Tangaroa. So I ran this pic through the 3D software.

The Tangaroa actually turned out pretty good without any modification. I'll keep him for further use,

Cut off the Tangaroa head and put it on the U'u.

Added a stick to make a swizzle.

Will work on making a pendant this afternoon

Added one more pendant to the pile...

I didn't completely forget about the Swap just pulled away- will be going to get some Sculpey (I think) today and doing some drawings....

Mad Dog, you have gone completely mad and I'm beyond impressed by your 3d Printing Wizardry... makes me really want to get one now, lol. Each one is incredible.

Wendy, oh my gosh, love the painting and so impressed, as always, with the depth you're able to create. :)

Jon, holy moly- pretty darn cool.

Mad Dog, yes I think the Goonies screening is today, I had wanted to go and take my boy but we're (of course) going to a ball game. There is a "Goonies" themed bar up in San Clemente, it's a lot of fun if you and Teresa ever head up there ("Lost Inferno")...

Okay, time to start drawing/ planning/ shopping....

Tiki Ano, thank you very much. Happy you are coming on board.

MadDogMike that's my favorite so far. It's a wow!
