Holiday piglet fun
« on: July 30, 2011, 04:25:55 pm »
here's the story:

I'm on vacation an the camping. yesterday I showed some of my scroll saw work to my neighbors.
we have a lot mud at the entrance of our field.
this morning the woman said to my wife, "can't Marcel make a pig for in the mud?"
so my daughter and I started to make two piglets for the entrance of our field.
had to use a jigsaw instead of my scroll saw, but it came out good i think.
My wife made photo's of the whole process, so I show the total process of this afternoon work.

poplar plywood with acrylic paint.

placing them at the entrance

didn't want to place them actually in the mud, because then the cars will ruin them.
so each side one piglet.
here my other daughter came in to put some mud in front of the piglet.

Wonderful project.  How many of us remember to take our jig saw camping with us?   That is a hoot!
