Holy cow you are good with a router TP!

Very cool TikiPops, great detail!

TikiPops- mad skills cuz...

Jon

I had no idea a router could do that fine detail work. You must be a master. Wendy

Thanks all for the kind words on my project. Wendy, I am by no means a master. I do learn some new tricks each time I do a new project. Did a little painting last night. Should be done soon.

MDM, I think I missed commenting on yours- holy crap! Not only is the mug fantastic, the album cover/ background is spot on (well, if I don't compare them side by side, I hear). Kidding, love the concept- and execution.

TikiPops, I'm ready to drive up for some routering lessons. Please send directions. Looks killer.

Anthony, phenomenal job. I guess there's no point in picking out a favorite for this year's swap- all of these are fantastic.

Will be posting something soon.

Can't wait to see what you came up with

OK, finally!
The Lost Album of Wes Saxton....

Forgot the label!

tigertail that is so well done that I would swear it's a real album. Remember that Dan had me searching for a copy before you told me it wasn't what you were copying it was your art! Wendy

Superb!

Thanks guys! I really enjoyed making it. It still makes me laugh, so ridiculous. Please read the liner notes, they are a little fuzzy but funny.
The entries look fantastic, I am truly not sure which one I hope to get most! How does that work again?

Tigertail- that looks so real
Awesome work
2 thumbs up bruddah

Tigertail, great job. I'm wholly impressed with the range of creativity in this Swap- lots of thinking outside the box: 3-D renderings of albums with clay AND paint (Mike), exact replica in mug form (Wendy), amazing woodwork, paintings, and combinations of both woodworking AND painting!

Mike, thanks once again for organizing. Thanks in advance for letting me choose (all of) my swap partners. :wink:

Tigertail, it looks great! Just got back from a quick Flagstaff trip (niece graduation) and tomorrow nite is Greek Christmas dinner for 50 people. THEN I'm gonna sit down and check out the details of your art :lol:

TikiAno, you weren't supposed to tell anyone!!!!!! :wink:

Tigertail,

It's amazing how realistic that album looks. I can't read the liner notes, can you zoom in? (I tried to zoom in on the picture but it got fuzzy.

Mike, are the rules on the first page? (I'll go look now.) I have to refresh my memory. I'm almost done, just need to finish the lettering.

Mo to go

No pressure
:)

WOW !!!!! Such a fantastic group of art by everyone. Really looks great.

OK, Greek Dinner is done, now to get crackin' on this Art Swap! I will take a look through the thread and see who has posted finished art, will see if I can contact those who started but have not posted recently.

TigerTail, I especially want to hear the Rum Barrel Polka :lol:

Lori, as Grand Exalted Swap Director, I get to make up the rules as I go along :lol: Did you find what you were looking for? Let me know if you have a question :)

T

Well, here I am at the deadline again. But it's done except for clear coat tomorrow.

I can't wait for the drawing. All of the projects are great.

TikiPops hit another home run......killer

Jon

Great job TP!!!!

That is great looking TikiPops, fantastic! You too Tu!

Just to let you guys know I'm still in this. I'm spending all day and night working on my piece. I knew I was totally going to be absolute last minute on this. I've been swamped with projects and getting christmas orders out the door in time. SO My album is totally made up cause why not.
its called "Tastes Like Tahitian Skins in Paradise" a percussion holiday in Hi Fi.
First layer of paint down and drying right now.

I know it always looks lame until about 1/2 way through , then it starts to look like something cool. I just wanted to show proof that I'm doing it.

I really want to do a nice vintage burnt matchstick frame around my piece, but I can't find any standard kitchen matches!!!

I have to go to work in like 10 minutes and I still have the final layer to put on my piece.
