Matched Set for GNG
« on: September 25, 2013, 11:16:05 PM »
Hello All,
I finally got going and made some calls.  This is the first matched set I have made in three years, and these are only the second and third calls I have made this year.  I am sending them to JJ for the Grand National Glory project.  They won't make it in time to get in the auctions that start this weekend, but will be up for sale eventually.  I went "retro" on the longbox and made the scenes similar to one of the first longboxes I made over eight years ago.  I have included a photo of that one along with my three favorite kids in the world, and also a photo taken today for comparison.  Where does the time go?
Anyway, I hope you like looking, and I wish the GNG team good luck with their movie production.
-Jim

Man Jim---it amazing how fast your kids have grown---I know the family man you are, but I will still say, enjoy every minute ya have with them. They grow up way to fast.
Your God given talent is beyond description. You are among a very few with the talent you continually portray in your calls and burning.
JJ and the auction have just benefitted greatly with your donation.
I am proud to have the heirlooms that you have made for me friend in the past, and really look forward to the current one you are working on.
I just wish you made more to post to share with all of us here.
You are one TALENTED *bowing* man my friend.
Thanks for sharing these works of art with us

Jim, the children are clearly something to be proud of and the calls, while remarkable, do take a back seat to family.

Nonetheless, I truly marvel at your work and enjoy your bold style.  I have always thought your feather scenes on the woodland floor were some of the best and this one rides high among your better work IMO.  A superlative donation and thanks for sharing with us.
