Aloha!
I thought since we are really, really close to Oasis-time, we need to get this thread goin' and get some EXCITEMENT rollin' about the SoCal Tiki Artists' Carving Hut at this years' Tiki Oasis!
So all you carver's out there who will be there, feel free to post your works in progress that you'll be bringing to finish up, or maybe even a few drawings of what you'll be starting while you're there! Anyone who needs to touch base with others about what to bring, or who's doing what, post it here too!
Let's get the momentum going!

I'm not sure what I'll be working on yet, but I really want to thank Mieko for all the work that she's put in to help keep the group focused and organized.
How about you, Lee?

Hey Lee! Thanks for getting a thread going!
I'm still working out all the details with Otto on how much space we'll have and the rules of what will be allowed and what won't.
We will be in an area inside the hotel complex and not across the parking lot, which will be really awesome, however we'll be VERY limited on space. Because of this Otto has said there's no power tools, and we're going to be limited to demonstrations - no lessons (liability reasons).
If people are interested in participating, please let me know via email or PM. Otto needs to have a signed agreement before the date, so I'll need to talk to everyone that wants to participate, for when Otto and I get that agreement written up.

Alright Meiko...Thanks for giving everyone a place to carve monster heads and scratch the word "tiki" into little scraps of wood!!!! But seriously, thanks for stepping up and getting us setup I know it can be a thankless gig but everyone appreciates it! I hope to swing in when I can and relax is the flurry of wood chips. Are you guys doing the raffle thing again? See everyone there!

Yes- Meiko's got about 100 things to juggle right now and she's doing a great job! I'm sure anything we can do to help will be...well, really helpful!
I've got the room/lawn all reserved for us. Since we have such a limited area to carve in, I'll be merely presiding over the room and selling my carvings at my own table in Artist's Alley. I don't want to take up space from you guys who have been "gellin'" as a group this past year.
-gettin' excited!

Oh please, Lee. You always fit right back into the group when you're in town.
I sketched out the design for the Carving Village sign today. Mieko gave it her seal of approval and will be doing the matching pendant. I'll run it past the rest of the group at the next Chop before I start scratching the word "tiki" into that scrap of wood.

Just to letya all know, the name of the event formerly known as Carver's Village is a-changin'. So until then, the title of this thread is "in transit".

I'll have to wait until the revisions are finished. But I'll probably be working on it at the next Chop, so you can see it in person.

Watching me carve is about as exciting as watching paint dry. I'll probably be working on a pendant.
I'll have some of these with me
This is my latest, übertiki.
Or maybe I'll carve too....
