One of my best large dragons, and my all time favorite project, was done for the visually impaired visitors to a World Science Fiction Convention. Every part of him had textural interest as well as visual beauty. I held him as not for sale for several years, and then the first time my husband was talking about RVing full time I sold him because he wouldn't fit in an RV!

Thanks, Donna! We are always interested in places with handicap access! This one is worth knowing about!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful idea! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteMy old neighbors, Pat and Marvin Teal work at Dollywood. She is in food service and he is a blacksmith?
ReplyDeleteI have not been there, but I know they live just outside Smokey Mtn Ntl park. We visited them once in our Motor home.
Have fun.
