Yes I did ask if you were interested in a star. I just made 2 for ya to look at. I think part of my problem is that this is not a chicken thing and I am lost as to what to make. But as a back up a friend also has a lot of this stuff done up and told me to take it and he will split it with me 50/50. I told him that isn't right and I would do 60 (to him) and 40 (to me). I do have 8 bells ready and will probably take em all. They are all different.

Can you do flowers? Fairies? Sun, moon, stars? You know garden stakes, or welcome signs with those themes? Just throwing out ideas.

I am searching for a few "Green Men" they have to be a bit detailed, flat on one side to hang on a wall/door, but very detailed on the other side.
I want one on my little barn door.
I will search for a picture.
I do not think CR can make one without it involving alot of time.

Of course the blue orp would be your problem child...

Really hoping the chick pulls through. Your progress reports sound encouraging. He really hung in there, so positive thoughts for the baby getting stronger by the minute!

That would be correct. Most of then look to be cast which I am not set up to do.

Oh, goody! The Nephew is all busy with end-of-school concerts and so on, and therefore I have no helper today, hallelujah! I'm at a point where I can take a day off without the world coming to an end, where "day off" does not imply I don't have to feed and water chickens, move the chicken tractor, nor try to make a dent in the laundry pile. Not to mention the whole feeding people thing, and, oh, yeah, really should get those roses potted on.

Compared to the last week, it's a day off.

Redreiner : I have had many chicks hatch that way...stragglers & obviously tuckered out.
And they have all pulled through, and within a few days in with the rest and I could not tell which one was the straggler...
This one may be your best bird ever!!

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.
