Martha Stewart sorta Day Earlier in the week the mailman delivered an Imperial German 2* Reichsmark of silver minted in 1913 Berlin. This at the time when a long sleeved man's work shirt cost nearly a quarter of it's value and a good sized loaf of bread was 10 cents in the USA. Slightly larger than a US quarter it commemorated Prussia's General Blucker's defeat of Napoleon Bonaparte The reverse shows the Imperial German Eagle swooping down on the French snake. I had a heck of a time finding just the right frame for the piece. I settled on a black and gold frame, however, it lacked a hanging hook After much consternation I finally managed to nail one on. The cardboard is a heavy duty double thickness variety. Centering the coin slab I marked out then cut a hole slightly larger. Good ol' Elmer's Glue now held the black felt in place for the coin display. Numerous tries later.... messing with the lighting and flash I succeeded in getting a photograph of the finished craftwork. A small Martha Stewart project snowballed into a hefty undertaking. |

I have not been well most of the day visiting Pumpkin several times and talking to ralph. A windy day for us with a decent temp of 36 F... 3 C. I'll be going into the LOBBY chat room soon to talk to my online friends.

Some projects seemed to turn into big ones when they should be simple ones, sorry you're not doing so well today little buddy

That's quite the fancy coin Darter, and you did an excellent job of mounting it for display.

Sorry to hear that you had a sickly kind of day. I'm sure Pumpkin enjoyed your visits.

It was a nice day here reaching a high of 48F, light N wind, sunny. I let the dog take me for a walk among the puddles of water and mud. Tonight I took my growling Dell computer in the shop and removed the power supply to get at the noisy fan. Don't think I was able to fix it, but I will plug it in tomorrow to check it out.

Hope you get to feeling better 2morrow, Bret.
