101 Years of Stephen Crane Art Swap - DONE!!!! - Other Crafts

C cy Tiki Socialite Gresham, Oregon Joined: Mar 10, 2011 Posts: 1666	C cy Posted posted on Thu, Jun 8, 2017 8:36 PM My original plan of a carved swizzle stick from the Kon Tiki Chicago gave way to this idea after I posted some carved floats on FB and got great comments from MadDog and danlovestikis. The middle cedar Columbia River net float has lettering from their matchbook cover while the top and bottom are from a couple o' tikis that were located within the joint. Cork was added in between for buoyancy. I will be using green as the main color to match the interior, so I dyed some 1/2 inch yellow and black rope I had kicking around to tie it all together. Thanks to H10 for providing me with the necessary research material, will be finishing this weekend. [ Edited by: cy 2017-06-08 20:42 ]
