Love it! This particularly caught my eye and made me laugh because I have the <I>exact same</I> thingy sitting on my mantel right now. It is still the same brassy orange color at the moment, but when I bought it at Hobby Lobby a few weeks ago for $2, my plan was (and still is) to paint it.<BR/>Hubby said it looked like some kind of WWI bomb. A goofy male dinner guest said I had it upside down and it was meant to be stuck in the ground next to a headstone, with flowers in it.<BR/>Nice to see that someone shares my vision. Great job, BTW!<BR/><BR/>Holly<BR/>(posting under dh's acct)Dr. Craig Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05242372334826001099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6858086016338707817.post-67058943402470843022008-08-05T12:35:00.000-06:002008-08-05T12:35:00.000-06:00your talent just makes me smile!your talent just makes me smile!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02366031457587496623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6858086016338707817.post-27836904466531108312008-08-05T10:18:00.000-06:002008-08-05T10:18:00.000-06:00WOW!!
