Americana Flags..new from the barn




Here is our latest creation, Americana Flags. They are made from 100 yr old lath from the barn walls. Robin and I stacked all the lath strips after we ripped what was left of the lath and plaster down a couple of years ago. Recycling at it's finest and what better use than a patriotic symbol. I also got to play with my new air nailer to assemble these, which made the process so much faster than using finish nails and a hammer. I love to prove to Robin that it was a great idea to buy a tool! The flags are 17" wide and 10 1/2" tall and will have a wire on the back for hanging. As you can see we ran out of daylight so they will be finished within the next couple of days. Today was a beauty, a great day to be outside. Tomorrow sounds like a carbon copy. Enjoy!
