Mrs. Hoptiki here.

Aloha to all. We are long time Tiki Central lurkers and lovers of all things Tiki. Mr. Hoptiki and I are California born and raised mid century babies. I especially have many fond memories of the Tiki, Poly Pop and Hawaiiana influence that was part of my growing up. Those were wonderful times. I’ve wondered for many years if anyone today remembered or even cared about that era and then I ran across Tiki Central. Thank goodness for all of you. Those of you who remember and the younger ones of you who endeavor to explore and recreate that wonderful time.

Mr. Hoptiki and I have been trying our hand at carving tiki’s for about a year now (when time allows) and will soon be posting some pics in the Carving forum. Neither of us claim to be great artist, all though Mr. Hoptiki does have some cartooning background. Anyway we are having a great time seeing what we can create. Thanks to all the carvers, artists and creators here who’s threads we have scoured through for education and inspiration.

Mahalo for listening, glad to be here,

Mr&Mrs. Hoptiki
