PJ purple jade Member New Orleans Joined: Feb 19, 2003 Posts: 1450	PJ purple jade Posted posted on 10/02/2003 I've done some egregiously cliched and stylized Halloween tiki necklaces. See them on my currently inelegant website: http://www.purplejadetiki.com Also watch for new styles of everyday(?) tikis soon. (Hanford & BK, is this where we post shameless plugs now, not in Collecting?) [ Edited by: purple jade on 2003-10-01 20:36 ] [ Edited by: purple jade on 2003-10-15 13:32 ]

H Humuhumu Member San Francisco Joined: Aug 22, 2002 Posts: 3691	H Humuhumu Posted posted on 10/16/2003 Very cool! The volcano bowl, in particular, kicks all kinds of ass. I like the Tiki Bob, too. They look like they took a lot of time & care to make... are these going to be one-of-a-kinders?

PJ purple jade Member New Orleans Joined: Feb 19, 2003 Posts: 1450	PJ purple jade Posted posted on 10/16/2003 Look around, look around. The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you? Thank you everyone for the props. Now some answers... The minimugs are made of polymer clay, as are all my tikis. I don't know how regularly I can produce these because they are quite labor-intensive. At least not full sets like this. I may do individual mugs special-order only. I kinda just wanted to see how they'd be received. I'd appreciate feedback. Think I should devote more time to these? P.S. Still time to get tacky Halloween tikis from purplejadetiki.com!

SF Slacks Ferret Tiki Socialite Calgary Joined: Oct 02, 2003 Posts: 1397	SF Slacks Ferret Posted posted on 10/16/2003 Yes, SES is right. Molds need to be made of these so you can sell them in great numbers. As I understand it, it's not too difficult a process. I have a friend here who is gonna help me out with it. If you like, I'll let you know what I have learned once I see the process first hand. These mini mugs need to reach as many TC'ers as possible. -Slacks

PJ purple jade Member New Orleans Joined: Feb 19, 2003 Posts: 1450	PJ purple jade Posted posted on 10/27/2003 Mahaloz again, folks. It is so great to have a place to get this kind of feedback from so many voices instantly. SES, I used to get Ornament a long time ago, haven't looked at one in a while. It made me have ambitions that far exceeded my time or energy.

M mrtikibar Member Neskowin, OR Joined: Jul 07, 2002 Posts: 837	M mrtikibar Posted posted on 10/27/2003 Great stuff and I understand the labor intensive aspect. So what about molds? I know liquid latex rubber can be brushed on in layers to create molds for some projects. Seems like the latex might lend itself to small, light-weight items.
