Somehow I just blew away two paragraphs and a photo. I have a great new computer that I love. I, however, have not quite gotten the hang of all the bells and whistles, yet. Hence, I tend to lose work. Must remember to save more often!
Original Toby - about 12 years old
Back to the subject I intended to blog about. The Big Guy loves a project. Last week, A Paper Addict phoned and asked him to build a "Toby" toy box like the one he had built years ago for our grandson.
In Progress
He made the box then bought some foam for the seat. I had a piece of red leather in my stash that works perfectly for the seat top. He also purchased wheels so it can be pulled around.
Toby's Face
I used a clay made by Crayola that air dries for the face and, of course, gave him googly eyes.
We have worked on it a week or so.
Waiting for his number to be painted on
Toby is the number seven engine. It is taking some experimenting to get the paint on because the The Big Guy rubbed the wood down with his concoction of wood butter before I had a chance to paint it. The paint won't stick to the wood butter. I also don't have the right color of yellow for his number.
But Toby is coming along. And he has been fun to make. Orders happily taken.
