Another BIG Art Project .... Taking on the World!!!!

The New England District Missions Convention is next ....and that has meant another 'mega' art project for me!!! In years past I've painted banners, churches, lions, angels... this year it's the world!!

It was constructed by my friend Kathy''s daughter (Kathy is on the District Council). She built it in 4 separate pieces, that can be "locked" together and then wooden blocks drilled into it to brace it. Quite the set up!! It's 8ft high and 8ft across. The only place I was able to work on it was in my Grandmother's garage. Today I FINALLY finished it.... 7 days (well, 2 days and 5 evenings' worth of work).

For fun, I've been taking photos of it as it progresses, so here, see my world.....




























































Day 6, only outlining and Antarctica to go...

.... and Day 7, FINISHED!!!


















Tuesday, May 27th we took this thing apart and set it up at the church, it took 4 of us to get it back together:
(Small nails were hammered in so that crosses could be hung. Each cross had an emphasis of Nazarene missions printed on it)
















All set up and ready for the service on Wednesday night...
Phew!!! Am all done!!
