CLOWN DOING HANDSTANDS WHIRLIGIG

Practice makes perfect.
Stretch out those legs!! LOL
This, my friends, is a one-of-a-kind whirligig.

 I designed,handpainted and handmade this unique, original design clown that does handstands on his own colorful stage.

I had decided to make a different one so that he could just be sat on a deck, porch or table, and still work well, instead of on the usual rod. 

I needed to make sure that the propeller would not touch anything and that the     platform that the clown is on is sturdy, so it won't be knocked over in the wind.

The painted design and colors came as I made the whirligig. He has all brass
hardware.

You have 2 movements. His legs, as well
as his body, move in a very smooth
up and down movement. Just sit him
down facing the wind and watch 
Now with a nice smooth movement,
 lower your legs and relax.  Perfect!!
him do his tricks.

He was really a lot of fun to make and watch. He can be outside doing his tricks or inside looking like a million in your home.

He is a great home decor,collectable item and a great conversation piece.

It seems to me that anyone that has a vision in their mind of what they want to make, can, if they just take the time and try.

Even if someone tells you, "You can't do that," it doesn't make it so. Try. 
You might just surprise them.

Hope you enjoyed this.

Til next time-Take care.

OBLONG MOSAIC SCENE TABLE

This is one of our twig mosaic tables. NO WHERE HAVE WE FOUND
DESIGNS LIKE OURS. We design our oun unique items and they are
handmade by me. All our materials are real and gathered
in the woods and along creeks and rivers.

This table is an oblong pedestal table with 4 legs off
of the pedestal. The size is approx. 28"T x 18"D x 24"L.
It is made very strong and sturdy and made to be very
hard to tip over.

It has a mountain cabin scene on top using many different
kinds and colors of twigs. It is divided by
the twig geometric design. It has a skirt of twigs all
around the top and a root and pebble design in the front.

Sounds simple but it is not. It is a ton of work all the way
from designing it, to finding and gathering the right
materials for it, scrubbing and preparing it, to selecting
the right diameter, so everything will be flat and smooth,
and making each piece fit into the design snugly. Sometimes
a piece may take several diagonal cuts to get it to fit perfectly,
to finishing it. Each small piece can be handled 20 times each
through this process. Then the sandings and finishings take
usually 4 times each, on an item like this,
before we can call it done. We sell these occasionally.

If you would like anything that we have on this blog and can't find
it listed on our site: http://www.etsy.com/shop/Twigs2Whirligigs
Then please email us at Dian7071@hotmail.com

We welcome custom orders and we have pics of other furniture
that we have done and still make just email us if you are
interested.

Thank you for stopping by. We would appreciate any comments.
