Remembrance Day "Wreath"

[Frank Pellow]

I thank Rich (goldfish) and Don (don in brooklin) for the elements that I utilized in the pattern that I cobbled together for this.

It has temporarily replaced the seasonal rotating Welcome sign on our front door and will stay there until after Remembrance Day on November 11th.

I dedicate this to Tip Pellow (my father) and Elmer Pellow (my uncle).  They were both in the Canadian army in WWII and, between the two, fought in Italy, France, Belgium, The Netherlands, and Germany.  Both of them survived the war but it took a tremendous toll and neither lived to old age.

Both the foreground and background are Baltic Birch plywood.  I painted the wreath attempting to give it and old and weathered look.

Here is one photo of the door with one of its typical Welcome signs and another photo with the new wreath.

Nicely done and very nice way to remember those who served.

Also a nice idea to hang a seasonal welcome sign.  I have the "Happy Fall Y'all" hanging right now, just need to find a few patterns for the other seasons...snow is not quite appropriate here in Florida.
