There are some that are metal, but the many leaves have to be drawn out on a seperate sheet of meatl, and cut out to fit the face (another sheet of metal cut to the shape of a mask) and then tack welded on, eyebrows, beard, mustache, etc, all seperate cut out peices, tacked on the mask.
It looks awesome when done....3-D

I could probably do that. Will I ? probably not !!!! It's too time consuming for the guy like me who has to do it all by handand I could never sell for what I would need to make a $, and it's just really not my bag.

Here is a good site!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can do these !
Scoll through the ones on top & see a green man trellis...so just do the green man with no trellis!!!!

So guess what I heard first thing this morning when DH went into the computer room to say good morning to the chicks? Crowing. Not once, not twice, but three times in a row. The chicks will be 5 weeks this Thursday. I know it was the light sussex X chick, "Cocky". He has been without a doubt a roo from the moment he was born. He's bigger and badder then all the rest, but always sweet with me...
Cute, squeaky little crowing, but there was no guessing what that sound was! Isn't this a little young for a cockerel to start crowing? Criminy, I may have to find that baby a new home sooner than I thought...

Rainwolf & I have our Java hatches today & tomorrow....PLEASE keep fingers crossed !!!!!!!!!

We "lost" way over 3/4 of the eggs due to rough handling in shipment.....

I got my Buckeye flock in their new coop duplex this morning !!!!!!!!

The beautiful birds are having a blast eating grass & exploring their new big paddock & coop.
# Cockerals and 5 pullets, gorgeous !!!
They are the friendliest most curious birds I have ever had.
I adore them !!!

Then I cleaned out their 'baby' pen which has a door to the outside 'baby run" which is 20 x100 feet and now bald of grass

And added clean shavings to the pen, and put the lemon blue cochin chicks in there.
They are all outside enjoying the world now.

Then I cleaned their brooder pen & moved the meaties in there, and then cleaned their pen..so I have a clean pen for the Java hatch.

And/or the Sandhill shipment which is due today, the LAST "consecutive" shipping date.
They failed to ship me anything on the first 4 shipping dates.

Still have not heard a peep from them.

Now I am going to make breakfast, and do a shower, and watch old movies all day in my jammies.

It is raining here.....................AGAIN !!!
