Merry Christmas Greetings to all...

I just finished this as a gift for a family friend...it's based on a vintage one that reminded her of growing up on the Florida Space Coast...I can't post the picture of the original since it's under copyright...

The original porcelain piece was up for auction...the price?...well, let's just say it was in the multi hundreds of dollars...

The overall length is about 6 inches...it's made with my usual "flattie" construction materials...heavy duty poster board, cardboard and paper clips...

Sorry, no patterns for this piece...it's a one-of-a-kind...

Howard...

Of course it is a great piece, Howard, and the flamingos make it so perfect for Florida. Maybe Flat Santa needs to take a canoe ride (ask Don Ho) and have lovely turquoise sailfish jumping in the vignette. I'll never forget the neon signs depicting jumping sailfish at old motels. Thanks for sharing the picture!

It's a work of art, Howard. Your flamingos are impressive.

What a hoot, and what a fine job creating it. I’m sure it will be treasured.
