Dragonkort Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 ok now for those pesty little elephant cell phone charger thingys. I took several pictures of them at different stages of work and the one little elephant that's painted gray is the only one that is competently finished. the white stuff is what I used to plug up all the holes and to make it at least look like I had cut everything out right so it would all fit together properly. lol tomarrow I think I will take my sander out and sand the put together elephants so I can paint them. I put the last 3-4 elephants in the winter box.....not good enough to sell but I know many people who would like to have one for free. there are 2 size's of these elephant cell phone things the somall one ( that's the one that's finished and painted) and then the ones I inlarged to fit the bigger cell phones. at first I thougt the little ones wouldn't be of any use as a cell phone thingy but when I showed them to ritia she asked for a small one because she has a smaller phone. So now we have a small one for people with small phones and the enlarged one for the bigger phones when I finish the rest of the elephants I can put them up for you to see to if you want. if not that's ok too as you can see a sample of the little finished one painted gray. I couldn't think of any way to emblish the little guys to make them look cuter but i'll keep thinking on that and see what if anything I can come up with. lol Charlie E, amazingkevin, frankorona and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragonkort Posted March 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 ok I have read the suggestions about not take pictures on the newspaper and will no longer do that. lol I will also take better pitures of them as soon as there done. I just have to paint the outside sides of the elephants. looking at them I keep thinking they need something more....so iv hunted up some gray materal so I can make nice little floppy ears for the elephants and I hunted up some gray yarn to put on them for tails. Im also going to look through my eyes and see if I can find some eyes that will look nice on them. then we will see how they look. im kind of glad steve good doesn't come here because im not sure how he would feel about my changing and embelshing his design. lol i'll get them done and up as soon as I can. and no kevin production work does not scare me lol it drives spike crazy because I always have severl projects at different stages all over the house!! lol but iv also spent many years working in restrants and bakerys. lol which means cooking multiplys of several different meals at one time....not counting all the prep work for everything. lol is all the years I work in kitchens of some kind or another iv only gotten hurt twice. the first when I work at cornwells turkey farm restrant… I was the only one in the kitchens when the timers went off for the turkeys so I went to the oven and tried to take the turkey out of the oven....now you must remember these turkeys were a lot bigger and heaver then you can get at the store. and man was it HEAVY!! well anyway I pulled it out of the overn and turned to try and get it to the table when a bunch of the broth splashed out of t he roaster ( there was a top on it) and splashed all over my thighs!! I did manage to get the turkey on the table though and just as I was doing that the other kitchen people came I;n saw me and started running over to me ...I would have gotten burned worse then I did if they hadn't ripped my paints off of me right there in the kitchen!!! lol me I was going to go into the break room and take them off there but they said NO!! lol they wrapped a aprion around my waist and called mr cronwell into the break room. he look at my thighs and sent for one of his chidren to take me to the er…..and then asked me why on earth I hada tried to take the turkey out of the oven, I told him I was the only one in the kitchen at the time and I didn't want the turkeys to burn. he told me to NEVER try to do that again and if the turkeys got burned his sons ( whos job it was to take the out the oven would be in trouble for it. then as one of the grils was taking me to the car I could here him very angerly yelling at his boys because I got hurt and the price of the er and my days off to recuparte would be deducted from THERE checks!! the second time I was working in a bakery and the manager was talking to me on the phone so I cn't take the food out of the oven befor it burned and when I did take them out I opened the oven door and started swinging closed so I unthinkingly raised my hand up and sort of pushed the door back, unfrountly I pushed on the inside of the oven door. lol they put me on restricted duty because I only had one hand to work with !! lol oh in case you've never seen one the bakery oven was as big as a walking in closet. and here Iv done it again stuck stuff in here that's not suppose to be!!! i'll try to do better promise!!
