Wow Tom, its so fun to see another color set up with the Tiki Lamp. I'll look forward to seeing it hung and lit.
Here's an update on the Sea Life design lamp. I've gotten two sea horses and the Bumatay. Today at mom's I'll work on a sea turtle and think up a few more things that would work.
I will add texture to the Sea Horses when I decide what will look best.
Cheers, Wendy

Beautiful work, Wendy! Very creative on the "Bumatay" fish. I'll bet even old Floyd is fine with that marine turtle. Can't wait to see how this all comes together in a lamp...

Thank you Tom and Kahaka, same here because I love Roge's lamps too. Here's where I'm at today. A starfish and a shell are now added to the mix. (: Wendy

I just saw one of rogers lamps on t.v. the other night.... had to be one of his cause it was new, not vintage and had the large chunks, no small gravel pieces.... now if i can only remember which show it was.... I think it was american restoration or pawn stars.... they were at someones house or something. i meant to post right after the show but got sidetracked...

Hi Tipsy, I'm bummed to have missed whatever show it was. Here's what Roge said about your post this morning.
Hi Wendy, one of my daughters told me about the show also! I have not seen it. That “70’s Show” on TV has an amber/gold 15” globe in their basement area where they meet.
Most of my vintage lamps were of medium to large chunks also.
See you………
……Roge
TikiTomD, that is so cool. I'll send the photos off to Roge. Thank you for sharing the photos. Wendy

Here is the Chunk lamp from That 70's Show.
It is not the one that Tipsy saw.

Wow, you are really having fun with that theme. You should see Bosko and Truus' collection of resin seahorses, they have a wall-full. What an amazing array of sea life there, Wendy, this lamp is gonna be like an aquarium!  I think Bahooka's should buy a bunch of them, they'd be perfect in there!
Please allow me one frank observation, though:
I was very excited when you chose that Bumatay Tiki for your next design, I have always loved that design, especially since I found that Lava bowl I put in the BOT:
Then I bought the mug at the Hala Kahiki, and the best most recent find was AbstractTiki's photo of the Islander interior with the actual Tiki in it.
So imagine my surprise when I experienced what effect your addition of the fins on top and on the sides had on me: All of a sudden, I saw a fish - not a Tiki anymore! It was quite stunning, actually. Now with the added sea life pieces, the transformation is even more complete.
I don't know if anybody else sees it that way, but I would predict that for those folks who have never seen a Bumatay, this will be a more of a Fish lamp, not so much a Tiki lamp. There ain't nothing wrong with that, of course - It WILL be a stunner!

Hi Sven, I did look at both the original Bumatay and the Islander mug. I choose the later because very few collectors have see the original. We love the bowl whose foot you show.
Talking about vintage seahorses this is my bathroom.
You are absolutely right that I'm having a blast making all these sea creatures. Since there are four panels to a lamp each side will be different except for the Bumatay centerpiece. Well that's how I'd make it. Roge will make the lamp as desired by the buyer. That makes each one unique.
Here's what I made yesterday.
Angel fish
Float
Puffer
Just in case it might look good Roge asked for a tail fin for the Bumatay as shown here.
The hard part is not making undercuts so they can be molded. I've started an anchor! Cheers, Wendy

Hohkeeeh, you win! I didn't even know they MADE that many!
I love the gently smiling puffer fish.

I think I have finished the sculpts for the next Roge Chunk Lamp. This one will center around the Bumatay. Yesterday Dan and I molded the Bumatay I'll put the step by steps on my other crafts thread.
Here's a new lamp Roge just put on Etsy.
