Happy Flying Pig Day 2022

I have used "dream" as the sentiment for this year's Flying Pig Day card.   Over these last few years, and particularly now at this time when the world finally seams to be headed towards healing from the sickness that has plagued us, we now have another kind of world-wide catastrophe to deal with.  Our dreams include that of peace.  

Later this month I planned to participate in International Art & Found Day (3/12) - a day when artists from around the world will leave works of art randomly in their communities for others to find.  I was planning on painting some small canvasses with my flying pigs and as per the instructions, leave them safely wrapped with a note and the appropriate hashtag.  So today I did manage to do a couple of pigs.

But I was also inspired to paint some sunflowers on a blue background.  I have seen many posts from people using the colors of the flag and national flower of Ukraine in their artwork as a show of support so I directed my attention to these that are almost done. They're just awaiting some pen work and sealing and then I will prepare them for abandonment in the hope that someone will find it and take the time to post to the hashtag that it has been found.  I'll follow up with the finished products in a future post.

I did have another pig project today that I thought I would get done but didn't.  HWNSNBP found a pattern a while ago for a flying pig whirlygig which he did cut out of wood for me.  It got set aside for one reason or another and was recently refound when he was "cleaning" out the basement.  I know when it's done it will be a nice addition to the backyard.  If you remember, he made a shark whirlygig for GS1 a few years ago (click here for picture).  It should be ready for flying soon!
