The Oar Project..Ta DaH!












This is the oar that I posted a few back, now... the "after" pics! I turned it in today and they were very happy! It is to be a first place award in an event at the Marietta, Oh, Catfish Festival in another week! It will be varnished to a nice sheen and protected and that will also make the colors pop! I took the photos at my home on the sidewalk just before I turned it in. This was a fun project and in return, I got to pick a handmade bag by a local artisan..and I picked one that carries wine bottles, one side for red and the other for white! Just my style!!! salute!

    Wow you are so gifted I love this ore.
    I am going through proceedings although all the hospital have done until now is send one piece of paper to my solicitor and have taken over a year to do nothing else. So this letter is and I hope so very important.

    Thank you for you're kind and caring messages.
    Have a great and creative day!

    Dear Suzi,

    Aah, I'm so very in love with your art! I'm such a big fan of whimsy, and I adore your vibrant colors. This oar is an incredible prize!

    Thank you for the sweet message you left for me earlier this summer. I felt your warmth and your prayers, and they helped me to heal. Thank you.

    xoxo
