: and if you come up with something that is mutually agreeable as a "fake" killdeer and it doesnt involve a lotta expense, I can do that and just send it to Marcia to raffle off and proceeds go to the Gathering fund. I dont know WHY anybody would want a life-size fake Killdeer but if you guys think this idea is worth pursuing, well okay.
>>Just think of it as an artistic representation, like an oil painting of killdeer would be. It IS, after all, a sculpture, and would look nifty hanging on the right wall, I would think.
>>And don't poo-poo Dana's curtain rod idea...I can see it in a den, hanging above a window with a length of muslin or something kinda country partially draped over it. It might look pretty cool, and would be a really unique window treatment. (Maybe a swath of loincloth-grade buckskin?????)
: I am SUCH a NICE Gnome! Why on earth would ANYBODY wanna stuff me or mount me on a stick????????????
>>I can't imagine, GD! After all, as I have always said, to gnome you is to love you! (But your likeness carved in pumpkin & topped with a red hat is really pretty swell!)
