Title: Holiday piglet fun
Post by: Marcellarius on July 30, 2011, 04:25:55 pm

here's the story:

I'm on vacation an the camping. yesterday I showed some of my scroll saw work to my neighbors.
we have a lot mud at the entrance of our field.
this morning the woman said to my wife, "can't Marcel make a pig for in the mud?"
so my daughter and I started to make two piglets for the entrance of our field.
had to use a jigsaw instead of my scroll saw, but it came out good i think.
My wife made photo's of the whole process, so I show the total process of this afternoon work.

poplar plywood with acrylic paint.

placing them at the entrance

didn't want to place them actually in the mud, because then the cars will ruin them.
so each side one piglet.
here my other daughter came in to put some mud in front of the piglet.

thanks for all the nice reactions,

it was a bit of a prank of course, but the neighbor find it awesome and asked me if she could take them home after the holiday so she can put them in her front garden.
so every one is happy.
