Okay. Today is Charlie Browns time to shine! Last time we did Snoopy and the tree, so today is Charlie’s turn.

Here are again a rough draft following is the grid coordinates to Charlie.

Here are some additional pictures for you all.

"Bam!-Here's-Charlie-Brown!" — “Bam!-Here’s-Charlie-Brown!”

I just hope you all can see them more clearly because I sure can’t! Time to save up for some reading glasses. In the main picture I decided to color Charlie differently to make the project more interesting. Hope you all can make them, the crew will look Amazing on any lawn!

I don’t have any coordinates for Woodstock. I just drew him on wood and that was it. Oh, I also lightly engraved or carved them up a bit for added details. Here is a better closeup; I hope that helps. Maybe in the near future I will include him. That all depends on time…ticktock…ticktock, I’m out of time.

Til next time, C-Ya Later!

REBOOT TIME

December 14, 2014AESTHETICALLY PLEASING...Kings Reyes

“Okay-okay!!!” So I didn’t get those six pack yet! I didn’t get in much shape like I had dreamed about either. Maybe that’s all she wrote and its all downhill from here???

But maybe, just maybe, there was a disruption in the space time continuum!? A ripple in space that has stopped me from pursuing my life-long goal of getting in shape!?

“Space time continuum? Ripple in space?” Sounds more like I am still in dream mode to me. “MDRM” Making Dreams into Reality Mode has not taken off yet. I need to wake up and go. So on Monday I am taking off full blast before my candle burns out for sure.

Will see what happens now.

“CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS”

When a friend told me he wanted a “Charlie Brown Christmas” decor, I ended up making two of them. Both are almost the same, but slightly different. In the following I hope to show those who want to learn how I made them; hope you will stay for the ride. We will start with the tree and work on Snoopy and Charlie later. For those who might be interested, I have a book out called “Christmas Art; Making Outdoor Decoration For Your Home” available at Amazon.com. Have time, check it out. It gives 14 easy projects to make. The cool thing is, you don’t have to be an artist to do this projects.

CHARLIE’S CHRISTMAS TREE

A pair of two slightly different trees for Charlie Browns Christmas yard decor.

Here is a rough draft picture and following are the grid coordinates for the tree and Snoopy.

I always start with a rough draft on grid paper, that way it is easier to adjust accordingly to the size that I want and make any necessary changes before I cut boards. For this project I wanted the decor to look more realistic in size; so the characters had to look like the size of children. I am using 3/4 inch plywood for this project just in case, the tree branches will be more stronger. You can use whatever size you like.

Here are closeups of the two different trees.

In this project, I exposed the two boards that would hold up the tree.

This tree support was covered up by that famous blue scarf belonging to Linus?

Anyways, have fun and I hope to cover Charlie’s coordinates next time. Yes before Christmas.
