Remember,
Amateurs built the Ark.
Professionals built the Titanic!
I have been in southern Ca. visiting since the 1st of December and I will be going home on Monday December 8th. While here I visited a more than dear friend of mine. I had made her this dinasaur picture for her grandson awhile back and was always bummed I never got a picture of it. It came from the same piece of pine that I used on another project Clash of the Titans that was rescued immediatally prior to getting chucked into the wood stove. A last minute find, and I do mean last minute I was able to salvage 4 pieces out of a round that had just been mauled and split. Running it through the planer and attempting to sand it. Never really managing the sanding part on this or "Clash of the Titans" it made no never mind, to her or to me. It just had so much of a story behind it!
The back of this is also the same stuff I used on my "
Clash of the Titans" A tree that can be found around here in Orange County, Ca. who's nick name is a paper tree. This paper bark peels right off the tree and is the trippiest stuff I have ever seen. I love it, I love what it does for these sorts of projects and I really hope I get the chance while down here to get some more.
When you touch it , it falls apart in your hands like the wings of a butterfly. That is the best way I can describe it!
I found this patern in with a introductory package of patterns when I first started receiving the magazine Creative Wood works and Crafts. My favorite mag for patterns!

Thanks and Peace
