Get togethers, shows and swap meets / Sigh its a wash
« on: June 28, 2015, 07:47:40 am »
Due to the 3.49" of rain the Mentor, Ohio region got in the last 24 hrs. The Wildwood Fine Arts Festival that I attend every year has been canceled. The grounds are a swampland today and we are expecting even some more rain. Flooding is an issue as well. All n All it was a good decision to cancel the festival. This just means that I will have even more things for the next show.

A customer commissioned me to make her 3 year old son a Green Dragon Bank. This bank I cut from clear pine, sealed with one coat of shellac and then painted with a metallic green acrylic paint. The coin slot was cut in the back between the wings and then a brass cover plate was put on. The bank is 10 1/4 inches tall x 8 1/2 inches long ( from tail to snout ) and 3 3/4 inches thick. It was top coated with semi gloss lacquer to help protect the bank.
