Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 Just a gentle reminder that if you are planning to donate a piece or two to the bouquet, time is running short, to get it sent to Steve and put together and given to Karen.

Frosty Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 I feel like a heal, loss of the stack for the barrel stove in my shop and weather shut me down a couple months ago and I just plain spaced it. I am dreadfully sorry, I really blew it this. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted November 21, 2023 Author Share Posted November 21, 2023 Not to worry Frosty. I'm sure folks will do as I did. That was to look around the shop and home for former items that would fit in. For instance the Humming bird & Tulip were attached to an old yard hook that wasn't being used and cut off. Debi spiffed them up with a new paint job. One of the cattails was from a challenge on the forum (did hammer out the other 2 and leaves) Debi made the small leaf a long time ago at a BOA meeting and the long one I made a year or so ago. We felt that they would be good donations even though we didn't make them specifically for that. I can't control the wind, all I can do is adjust my sail’s.

Frosty Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 It'd be nice but I've never made flowers so I had to start from scratch and have a couple 3 no gos to show and then winter said you're done. Something may turn up and I'll ship it off but I can't count on it. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daswulf Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Shipping this out this week. Wanted to do more but I hope this is good enough. I know Glenn would understand. It is a tough point in my life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daswulf Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Thanks Irondragon. Hope so. Frosty, you are fine. I have had situations make me miss out on so many projects/ things in my life that I mighta been rich but stuff happens. Glenn loved you for who you are and would totally understand your situation. Your love and thoughts are what count most. I will send a snowman and snowflake in your honor if that is ok with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Dang it Das, now you've made me all misty eyed, So long image of the rough tough manly man Alaskan. <sigh> Seriously, thank you for the snowman and snow flake it means a lot to me. I did love Glenn even if we clashed now and then he was a special friend. This tune keeps running through my mind with lyrics inspired by your pieces. "He's 3 nut Frosty the snow Flake, Man!" I'll redouble my efforts to finish a flower, it's warming up considerably all I need to do is clear the path to the door. Maybe I'll split a piece of copper pipe and flatten it. Hmmmm.

Scott NC Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Das, I think a lot of people feel and see it exactly as you do, I know I do. Thanks for putting it into words. I made a few extra leaves and would like to do the same. Frosty, one can't control the weather or other circumstances. We don't need you falling off an icey roof fixing a stove pipe.

Frosty Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Don't worry guys I am NOT going up on the roof, falling and killing myself would be better than what Deb would do to me! Whatever I make will be on the floor or maybe in the basement where there's heat. Thanks again, Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted December 9, 2023 Author Share Posted December 9, 2023 If your Deb is anything like my Debi, and I were to do something foolish, she would kill me several times over. Not to worry there have been 364 members looked at this thread and I'm hopeful some of them are working on something. It doesn't have to be anything grandeur in nature to be incorporated in the finished bouquet but every little bit helps. I just checked the thread Steve started and so far only four members have sent anything in. So come on Guy's and Gal's time is a wasting. I can't control the wind, all I can do is adjust my sail’s.

Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted December 26, 2023 Author Share Posted December 26, 2023 I hope everyone had a happy and safe Christmas for those who celebrate the holiday. So far it looks like Steve hasn't received any more items, hopefully some have come in and he just is a little busy to update the post. I hope everyone has a safe New Years eve and happy prosperous New Year. I can't control the wind, all I can do is adjust my sail’s.

Daswulf Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 I sent out a package. I am sorry it got delayed getting sent out for a time due to life happening. I will see what else I can get done before I hear of a cutoff. Sorry it is taking a while. Then, Glenn was never in a hurry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted January 4 Author Share Posted January 4 Daswulf, I just noticed that your package did arrive at Steve's place. Thank you, I was beginning to get worried that Steve wouldn't get enough to make a decent bouquet. Hopefully now that the holidays are over more members who knew Glenn will get busy and send something. It doesn't have to be made right now, all of us have things we made in the past that would fit in just fine, so look around the shop for things to include and send them to Steve. Even new members are welcome to contribute and it looks like we will need more stuff. Something simple like tree branches and leaves that can be worked in will be fine. I can't control the wind, all I can do is adjust my sail’s. Semper Paratus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daswulf Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Glad it made it. Will work on more once I get some past due commissions done. Sure hope some others get some work mailed in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted January 9 Author Share Posted January 9 Steve received the latest package from Will Brouwers . Thank you Will. I can't control the wind, all I can do is adjust my sail’s. Semper Paratus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Brouwers Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 No problem! I hope the leaves work, and I hope more people make something beautiful! I never met Glenn personally, but I figured making a few leaves was well worth the thoughts and comments and information I received from Glenn and others on this site!

NoGoodWithUsernames Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 How is this turning out? I wish I could contribute something but all of my equipment is still stored away after moving last year. This forum is a great reminder of Glenn and his legacy and I hope we can put together a nice bouquet for his family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shainarue Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I recently rediscovered a handful of petal cutouts that were in a scrap bucket I acquired at a swap meet. I still don't have a forge up and running yet but I'm gonna find my mapp torch to get those made into something pretty, then maybe a piece of 1/4" to make a leaf & stem, then weld it up. We just started a 10-day cold snap, but I should be able to do most of this inside the shelter rather than out in the wind. I really didn't expect to take so long in contributing something but I really do want to send something. Glenn and I had many a conversation off-forum and he helped me through quite a few projects.

Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted February 4 Author Share Posted February 4 Just checking Steve's post, I see that the package from Shainarue had arrived. Thank you. Every bit helps, hope more are in the works from other members. I can't control the wind, all I can do is adjust my sail’s.

Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted February 9 Author Share Posted February 9 I was just looking at the thread Davor started about the Viking ship candle holder and got to wondering if something like that would go with the bouquet. It could even be a separate piece to be placed out when wanted. Unfortunately I'm not talented enough to make one. I can't control the wind, all I can do is adjust my sail’s.
