I'm sure you've heard this hundreds of times over, but your poppers are just gorgeous; head and shoulders above anything I've ever seen. It's a good thing I don't have your talent, because if I made mine that pretty I would be afraid to fish them! smile.png

Thanks for sharing.

Fantastic work as usual. I got to meet Walt a couple times and get some pointers from him.

Another other very talented man who was willing to share and teach.

Good to see a Gerbubble again. That frog pattern need not be moved a bit -- it will draw them out of the thick stuff just siting there. Excellent job!

Thanks to you AND TO THE OTHERS!

 

A couple of the members of the Gulf Coast Council of the Federation are putting together

a digital copy of the two papers Walt Holman wrote back in the 50s. The only thing left to

do is add photos of some of his poppers to Mr. Holman's original drawings. Plans

are when it is ready to post it as a download on the Council website.
