I'm having too much fun with this blog. Decided to share my "metal art" with you all. When my girlfriends, Alice & Becky Rogers from Texas, were here in February, we made the metal art you see hanging on the outside entrance wall to our house. I saw these metal-art women in a catalog for a price I wasn't willing to pay. So decided I could free hand draw them on freezer paper, cut them out, and trace them onto some heavy metal we found laying in the old corral. So when the girls were here - I thought it would make a great memory if we did the project together. Our friend Gary Woolever lent us his laser metal cutter and Len helped us get started. You'll see the girls "at work". We had such a good time doing the project and I'm so pleased with the way they turned out. Mine is on the left, Becky's in the middle and Alice's on the right. Mine has a hand that is hanging on a stone chain. The hand is made of copper and is my mother's hand. When she was in hospice and in her final days with us, the chaplain made a hand print for all of us kids. I copied the handprint unto another piece of paper, cut it out and then taped it to a piece of old copper we had and cut the copper. It is very special to me. My metal-art women are much bigger than what I saw in the catalog. I just love them.
