Quick Brown Fox whirligig + Vollis Simpson Museum.Park Project

Item: Here is a status report on the "Quick Brown Fox" whirligig now found in process at the art department. Donnas Art has gotten the basic color scheme figured out and the windmill fan is a design from the first year of the Whirligig Festival in Wilson and the blades are salvaged from an old mini blind Next will be the detail painting work and than I have to work out the articulation. Look for it on www.whimsytwo.etsy.com soon.

It looks like another phase is underway at the Vollis Simpson Whirligig Project with the addition of another new project person joining the effort. We are probably at about two o'clock on the countdown to completion and the clock is running. There will be more positions and parts and partners for everyone in the community to come. Here is my mission last week while sickly with the flu. It's a spread sheet for visitors and on Friday I did some data mining from the temporary sign-in board to see how it works. Joe Justice furnished a tripod which will hold the new top just completed in the manspace.
Paul Berry Park is two blocks away from the Vollis Simpson Whriligig Museum.park and is full of whirligigs. The tall two story white house on the left of the picture is on Moss St. and is being rehabbed and brought back to life in the historic district by a Belgian family.<>
