You go on ahead. Post us a picture when you get it done.
I really wish I could find the referenced pg 140. although looks like enough to start construction. My parents had this while I was growing up.... I guess that's why I still have the nasty habit. I just really, really loved playing with that bird. Dam that bird, now I see he was just plain evil. :roll:Quote:

Maybe I should revise the craft altogether…make it suit something for today, since it was issued in like 1938. Mmmmm...... wonder what the tar levels for Cigs. were back then. :teeth: <-yellow teeth (yummy)
I could look at re-designing this and post an enhanced design…any ideas for improvement?
I think it should supply something other than cigarettes. The bird needs some revision work too.
This really looks like some James Lileks stuff.

Thanks Burns and Irish Cream.
another 'vintage' craft that's coming back in. Knitting! *drool*
I'm always knitting, even if it's only a scarf...
It's very therapeautic and relaxing, although when you are learning it can be a pain in the butt.
That's something I would like to do (someday...). It seems so cool to take yarn and make a sweater or whatever. They have good yarn now it seems like; pretty colors and that furry kind that people make scarves out of. I would also like to be able to sew.Quote:
