greetings to all...

it turns out that the farmer milking a cow wasn't my last "flattie" for 2019 after all... :lol: i found a new subject while searching for something else...and knew at once it was a project i had to make...since i worked for JCPenney for 36 1/2 years...

see the inspiration image, work in progress photo and pattern below...the hardest part was punching out and trimming the tires from cardboard...it took me more than a hand full of times to get sorta proper tires...the spokes and rims are laser cut pieces leftovers from previous "flattie" projects...

note...this "flattie" can easily be made into any company by changing the colors and having a logo printed...

i'll post a picture of the finished "flattie" in a week or so...stay tuned...

my very best regards...

howard...
