Aloha, Tikilanders!

As my ceremonial first post, here I am. I have been fascinated by Hawaiian art and culture - and especially the tikis and Hula Girls - for some time. I have had the good fortune to visit the Hawaiian Isles on 2 occassions (Kauai'i near Hanalei Bay, and on Maui), and I think those trips only cemented my love of this fun and sometimes kitschy art form.

I have a modest collection of Hawaiian shirts that I covet (including a Tiki shirt) and have recently turned my hand towards making tikis and hula girls in an art venture.

I am looking forward to reading through the forums, as my wahine and I are looking to tropical-ize and tiki-ize our backyard, and there are even posts here for carving your own tikis (!) so you can consider me excited to be a part of this.

The site looks great and I look forward to reading more on this forum.

Mahalo!
