Popular Post FrankEV Posted November 16 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 16 This project was cut, but the shaping, finishing and assembly process was put on hold while I made the African Elephant and then the Cute Pink Jacketed Bear. I made this project for myself to join other SS Christmas pieces I use to decorate the outside of my home between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day. This will be mounted on a common Mailbox structure located in front of my neighbor and my Duplex. The pattern is a coloring book page that is free to download from various sites on Pinterest. A similar, but slightly different, color image titled Noel can also be found but no specific credit is given. The pattern was cut from one piece if 3/4” thick premium pine, shaped and sanded like doing Intarsia, asssembled and mounted on 3/8" thk Plywood backer, then painted with my Air Brush using Artist Acrylic Air Bush paints and protected with multiple coats of Clear Gloss Acrylic Finish spray. I made and mounted a simple wood stand on the back side, that will be screwed to the mailbox structure, that was painted Black. With this project finished in time to decorate for Christmas, I can now slow down and concentrate on what my next project will be…of which there are too many in the hopper.

barb.j.enders Posted November 17 Report Share Posted November 17 (edited) Another great piece. I wish we lived closer so I could get some airbrush lessons. I don't do well with video only.
