C'mon G - you have to pick a topic first.
Quick question - Are Zombies cannibals?

Technically, I guess they are. Just not in the "natives sitting around a stewpot full of missionary" sense

Yaay Mike!
I'm voting animals. I've struggled when the swaps topics get too narrow.

2 ways to join.
Contact the Swap manager. He will send you the limited liabilty and artist qualification forms. Fill them out in triplicate and mail to 3 non-discretionary associates. Once your forms are processed and filed for public knowledge, someone will contact you with your secret password and a diagram of the secret handshake. Then you find your way to a legitimate tiki bar. Find the hottest waitress, tell her your pasword and finish it with the secret handshake and a pat on the ass. She will in-turn either slap your face or she will give you a phone number. Create your art and then call the phone number - she will tell you where to stick your art!
or
Make a piece of art and post it on this thread before the deadline.

Great input peoples, keep it coming. Animal lovers, are you thinking of everything that isn't vegetable or mineral? When I hear "animal" I immediately think land mammals, but it seems the Papua New Guinea fruit bat is about the only Polynesian land mammal. If you include birds and sealife (and humans & mermaids), you have a lot more to work with.
Looks like right now we have a 4 way tie for Marquesan/French Polynesian, Cannibal, Animal, and Fire/Pele/Volcanos
Anthony, the drawing for the Swap is done at the very end so you can join at any time as long as your piece is FINISHED by the deadline.

I'm intrigued and want to join in but I'm not so sure how someone would feel about getting something *I* made! LOL
But I'm always impressed with how kind & supportive everyone I've encountered on TC is so I'll give it a whirl IF I can think of something that goes with the theme!
Can't wait to hear what it is. My vote is for Fire or animals as long as it isn't limited to mammals.

how about making a piece of art based on your favorite tiki bar - old, new, current or long gone ?? you pick out any tiki bar and make something that reflects that particular place ?? this way it opens up all sorts of possibilities and the final piece can be something based on the decor of a place, the look of the place (signage, interior or architecture) or even an event held at that place. maybe even your favorite drink at a particular place.
maybe a theme isn't even necessary. tiki is the theme so turn us loose to make anything artwise that is tiki related. we'll call this one "artists choice"
just my 2 cents.
I think i'm in on this no matter what theme is choosen

This one I like!!
Animals? I guess I could decapitate a squirrel and stick a light in his head.
Would that be tiki? or maybe cannibal,Kinda headhunter.
I will be in if the theme is workable.

One of the coolest things about the swap is that you don't have to stick to your "wheelhouse". Carvers can paint, painters can carve, lamp guys can try anything. No one is expecting anything, so have fun. Just remember that you will be paying to send your stuff to your swap mate - even if they live on the other side of the planet! I have sent Swap items to New Zealand, Australia, and Europe.

LoriLovesTikis what is fun about this swap is that it is an opportunity to see a lot of art in one place. You get to meet many people and make new friends. I for one just want to have fun at this art party with as many people who have great attitudes. So please join in. Just work hard on your piece to do the best you can. That's all that's expected. You'll be encouraged and you'll grow as an artist. I wouldn't have made the Zombie Mug if I hadn't done the first clay version during the menu swap, its what inspired me.
I like the freedom of "Artists Choice". That's a fun wild ride into each persons mind. Freedom, the American way! On the other hand it could be weird. Cheers, Wendy
