Glenn Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 I am not sure the prayer list is the proper place to put this, but then again . . . What do y'all think of making a leaf with your touchmark on the back, then sending it to a volunteer that would assemble it into a tree or art piece, to be sent to the Wilson family?

Dan Crabtree Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 im game. just get together a size of the leaves and style so we dont have a tree with 100s of differnt leaves. This would be a great tribute to a great mans life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted May 19, 2005 Author Share Posted May 19, 2005 I have located a couple of shops that are willing to used to make the build. There are just a couple more things to be worked out. I will post details shortly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted May 20, 2005 Author Share Posted May 20, 2005 Let the PPW leaf making begin. As a tribute to Jim Wilson, we are collecting hand made leaves to assemble into an art piece, and presented to his wife Sheri. Everyone is welcome to contribute. Leaf design and size if of your choice. Please leave a long stem on the leaf so it can be shortened before attachment. (It can be cut shorter much easier than it can be made longer) If you would like to make two or three leaves, that will provide an opportunity to add volumn to the project if needed. Marks are not a requirement, but if you have a touchmark, add it or your initials to the leaf. If you have ideas on a design into which the leaves can be incorporated, please pass it along. A decision will be made later, depending on the amount of leaves on hand, as to how they will be used, whether in an art piece, a table, a gate, sections in a railing, or whatever. Send your leaf or leaves and design ideas to: IForgeIron/Glenn Conner 607 Crestview Drive Big Chimney, WV 25302-4415 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenn Posted May 20, 2005 Author Share Posted May 20, 2005 So everyone has a chance to participate, and to have those going to SOFA (Sept 24,25) able to contribute, we will ask that all leaves be in the mail by October 1, 2005. Spread the word far and wide that everyone is encouraged to participate. Put all leaves in the mail by October 1, 2005. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irnsrgn Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 Dan, we are all different individuals. I think it would be a great tribute to PPW if each leaf was indivdual, he would like that I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
