"Penny"

"Penny" is 1 of 2 fiberglass forms of a bear.  Last fall I started placing pennies on this form with E6000 glue.  I worked on Penny at our cabin for most of the fall.  I ended up with a little carpal tunnel and tennis elbow.  Those pains took most of the long Wyoming winter to heal.  This was caused because I bent the pennies to fit the form. I finished her up this Spring and  have now grouted her with black grout.  Russ cleaned most of the glue off the pennies.  I still have a little more grouting to do on the bottom edge.  Then… I will take Penny to Cody Paint and Body for a clear coating and it will be a permanent part of our new home in Crandall.  Love how this girl looks,  she makes me smile every time I look at her.
