I was busy drawing and editing video last night, I didn't get a change to comment on the last minute entries
Jonesy - Absolutely over the top as always!
Polynesiac - Welcome to your first Swap, hope you enjoyed it. Beautiful carved cannibal
TikiRootsRocka - Your first Swap too? I'm so glad you were able to navigate the troubled waters of the communal kiln and make the deadline, your piece is a great addition.
TikiPops - I didn't realize those panels were going to be a lamp - very cool.
I am glad I have video proof of the drawing, no one would believe that I get to swap in person at Oasis for the second year in a row 
Thank you all for your participation. Your next step is to PM your Swap partner and exchange shipping addresses. Please don't delay in getting your pieces shipped, your partner is eagerly awaiting that special package in the mail. It would be wrong for me to bask in the glory of this Swap - YOU did all the work  Thank you. I expect we will have another Swap starting late Fall/early Winter and ending the end of January. We tried to end before Christmas last year and it just didn't work out. If anyone else wants to run the next Swap let me know. It's pretty easy and it might look good on a resume (call it "International Cultural Exchange Director")

MadDogMike, thank you for your organizational skills.
Everyone's Art Swap offerings were fan-tiki-tastic,
but Traveling Jone's, I just have to say WOW!
So happy with my swap mate, SO COOL!

I had been out of town all weekend and did not get to see many of the last minute pieces. Wow - I love doing the swaps just to see all of the different ideas people get and I get a cool piece to add to the collection. See you at the next one.

Ok, my first art swap is done. It was fun to think about the topic & come up with a plan & design. All of the projects were awesome!
Thanks again to MDM for organizing this swap. Looking forward to next one.

Jon, not sure when everyone will be in town, I'm open. Friday day sounds good to me, but I'm open- or Thursday at Bali Hai? (Too crazy, possibly....)
