Trader Tom, love the carving on the back- as well as the fronts of those pieces. Beautiful. Tabu, your piece looks great to me.
MDM, I admit I'm intrigued with where you're going with the fishy fruit loop piece. I'm sure it will be mind-(or fish?) blowing. It will be the most interesting tasting Art Swap piece, that's for sure. I'd say its success will depend on what sauce (if any) will complement both the fish AND the cereal. Do you go savory? Spicy? Slightly sweet? What would bring out the delicate nuances of flavor?
Sorry, must be time for dinner. Bye.

OK, I have to confess that I deliberately mis-led you with the Fruit Loops  They were never intended to be part of the finished project, just texturing for the coral. The coral still has to go into the kiln again for a gloss finish but should be done tomorrow. Does it look better than when I started?
 
I never did get back to the nautilus shell. It was going to be driven by a merman and pulled by a sea slug (nudibranch) with reins. Maybe later?

I got a bit misty reading your poetry Zero, quite a lovely ode to the ocean. Also he is not joking when he says he sends cool tiki tidbits along with his swap piece folks. Another stylish entry MDM, a nice use of the fruit loops.

Here's my contribution. A Sea Anenome container with faux sea urchin spines.
Turned in Podicarpus and burned, it is almost 10" tall and natural wood color. The faux sea urchin spines were removed from a Barney West carving that was in the Mai Kai gardens. it is not water proof but will make a great container for some other tiki memories. Looking forward to the surprise of who I get.

Zero Tiki your poem is so cute, just like you. Fun painting.
Aloha Station I've always wanted to use a lathe and now I know why. Good job.
The day has come and now MadDogMike will be pulling names soon. What fun! Wendy

Zero, I love both your painting and poem! I'd love to have your work hanging in my Gator Hut!
I'm done!
It's going home today with me to be bubble wrapped and boxed for it's journey to --------- where? No one knows. Yet.
Soooooo excited to be part of this swap!

Great poem Zero
Love that Anemone Container Tom. Very creative use of the theme and beautiful execution
Lori, does the FREE Peppercorn Pork Loin coupon go with the platter? 
I count 16 participants. I am waiting for one address and for one confirmation of a finished project. As soon as I get those two things I will post pics all the entries together.
I should do the drawing tomorrow, I have lined up a witness who has been sworn in by the Department of Justice - very official!!! By early next week I will send PMs to let you know the name and address of the person you ship to If you will let me know when you have shipped, I will notify the recipient so they can start watching their mailbox!
