Hey John-
I only have one thing to say....HOLY CRAP! Your lamps are awesome! OK, maybe that was 2 things.
I have to admit that I don't spend much time in "Creating Tiki" and this is the first time I've seen your work. You get a major A+ "WOW" from me for sure!
Now who's gonna do the Tiki Lamp Book????.....

Squid thanks!!
I just now found out how many of your mugs I have.
When I got a Shag mug I was thinking Shag.
But no you had a hand in that! Mondo tiki mug, That big boat mug thingy, ECT...
I could go on and on.
Squid you are the GE of sculptors.
You bring good things to light!
It would be nice to see a thread of your work on TC.
With all of the ins and outs of some of your works of art.
So like how many sculpts have you done to date?
Is it 170? that's huge!
Thanks again!!
John

Hi John, that is one of the most beautiful lamps I've seen. I love it. Uncluttered, cool design and I love the color of the resin and the placement of the starfish. Just...cool.
What did you use for the 'body' of the lamp?
Are those bubbles in the resin (looks cool)?
Awesome!

Awesome lamp Tikiskip - the resin drips really capture that underwater look! Can we see a pic of it on?

Thank's Mr Pants.
And yes MM I buy everything in bulk now.
The light is still not too heavy.
Amy thank's hope we can meet soon.
And Bill here's the first one lit.
This light is made from a old fish trap.
So I put a Seahorse on the bottom.
"Look out little Seahorse! It's a TRAP"
The other light is not mounted to hat yet.
Should be done by Sunday.

Here are the pictures of the resin lamp lit.
Don't know if I will defuse the bottom or not.
Also these lights started out as one long fish trap light. (4 feet?)
I cut it up to make four lights.
The two other lights in the making are pictured here as well.
