Is it a Bumble? Because as Yukon Cornelious discovered, BUMBLES BOUNCE!

Smoke signals? Can't wait for the next picture Pat. Always enjoy watching the process.

Sweet (A) ! Bob

Looks great Pat. Taking a fish off the line? Or removing one from a net?(-P

Haven't decided if he's bow fishing or duck hunting.

Pat, I see now where the birch bark is going to go. Looks good already, can't wait to see it in person. Bob

I see it now Pat. That birch bark is going to a really good project Outback.

Thanks BJ. Wish you could come see it in person at the Classic too.

Another masterpiece, I bet!

That's going to look really nice

Me too Pat. Maybe I could put a internet bid on it. I really need to get there. If I had known how the weather was going to be I could have gone last year.

Well, that explains the ask for the thin birchbark.
Need me to go out and dig some super thin spruce roots to sew it together?

Can't wait to see it Pat, always love your stuff and many thanks. The one you made for me is a very Cherished part of my house. :) Margaret Ann really loves it and has to name all the stuff around it including Sally and Sister. ;)

This one will be a little different but I've thought about it for a while. I guess each one has been a little different. ::)
Pappy, I'm honored that Margaret Ann loves it. 8)

I always enjoy seeing you in this process, Pat. I like this year's idea!
-
Thanks Steve. I always enjoy the process.
Someone last year at the Classic asked me what it would take for me to make him one. I told him he couldn't afford it. Over a 6 month period I could have a hundred hours or more in one of these projects. It is definitely a labor of love but worth it because it is for a very good cause.

So pat, I see what it is, but how do you do it? is it made out of clay and other things?

Just keep watching Russell. (-P it's a work in progress.

Russell, it is paper mache(news paper, tissue paper, white glue) with wire or foam board below. My wife is an artist and has been successful with paper mache for many years. That's where I get my inspiration and technical support. The ideas and subject matter are my own.
This will be my 4th or 5th project that I donate to the raffle table at the Tenn. Classic each year. You can look them up in past posts. I also did one last year I gave to Pappy of him at his work bench. I don't remember if I posted a pic of that though.

Amazing work, Pat! :) The osage mini-stave is a nice touch.
