Camp mail & Denny's sign (1)


More foreshadowing of another project. 


Really bad flowers.

***
Well, I guess I could be starting the story of that project I have mentioned - to fill up the rest of the July posts. Here's how it started. Hunter, my local son, asked me if I would be willing to help Denny with a sign for his garden. Denny is the dad of one of Hunter's best friends and Hunter has been welcome at sooo many meals at Denny's house since the boys were in high school. The boys never ate at our house - probably because I gave up on having actual meals - I just had food in the house - and everyone ended up on their own schedule. I was happy to provide whatever Denny had in mind as a thank you for the very generous feeding of my kid.

Denny's garden is beautiful - and someone had given him a Painted Peace garden pole. I'm sure you've seen them. A nice lady in Bellingham, WA started painting on some scrap wood in 2009 - and I imagine she is a billionaire by now - because they are e.v.e.r.y.w.h.e.r.e    They are not wood. They seem to be fiberglass with some kind of digital image. The original art is still wood burned outlining that is then painted. 

To be continued........



That is an art pole above.
Below is a metal sign
and you can clearly see the influence it had on that envelope at the top/
