I've been wanting to share something amazing that my brother made for the
National Convention for the International Wizard of Oz Club, but I had to wait until the event occurred for these centerpieces to be "revealed."
You can read more about the steps that went into making these and see many more photos on my brother's blog, The Oz Enthusiast. Be sure to click on the photos to enlarge them.
I think they are just wonderful and I want to get my hands on some of the metallic crepe paper he used to make the husks! Please leave him a comment if you pop over to his blog. If you are interested in the Wizard of Oz and the artwork from the original books, you'll find lots of interesting posts there.

These centerpieces are amazing Diane. I'm sure everyone loved them. Glad to hear your husband is ok. Mine cut his hand with a chainsaw years ago. I know how scary it can be. Hope he heals quickly. TFS your brothers' wonderful projects. Hugs~Mary
ReplyDeleteThe Oz projects are beautiful! A lot of work went into them! So glad to hear your husband wasn't hurt any worse than he was - kickbacks are a really scary, dangerous thing and it happens so quickly!
ReplyDeleteGoodness! Thank goodness your husbands hand will be "ok". Hope his recovery is quick and compete. Your brothers centerpieces are fabulous, yes I left him a comment too!
ReplyDeleteOh My Goodness! I wish your husband a very speedy recovery. It's not fun sitting at the ER while your loved one is hurting but I surely do appreciate the staff at my ER as well. Your brother's centerpieces are quite stunning. Well done.

ReplyDeleteWishing your husband quick and uneventful healing!
First off, glad your husband will be ok. That must have been very scary for the both of you.
ReplyDeleteMy friends were at the Oz convention, I will have to ask them if they saw your brothers work. We have a Oz committee in my town as L. Frank Baum was born here. Every year there is a big Oz Parade and many of the munchkins have come throughout the years. We even have a small Oz museum.
Hello Diane, I hope that your husband will have a quick recovery. Great centerpieces they would be great on a table at Thanksgiving. Thanks for sharing.

These centerpieces are beautiful. Your brother is very talented. So glad to hear you husband is going to be OK. Hands are a very important part of our bodies that we take for granted way too often.
ReplyDeleteHi Diane, thank goodness it wasn't the blade. I hope he heals fast.
ReplyDeletefirst I hope a complete and fast recovery for your hubby...mine hubby's hand was caught by the blade.catching his hand cutting into the ligments and bone of his ring finger..Dr told us he was lucky he did not have a ring on or it would have grab and pulled his arm into the blade and you know the rest...the board also did a kick back on him too......second..the centerpieces are amazing...he did an awesome job..thanks for sharing his work too
