Default shield pics

Here is a pic of my first shield, and I'm sure it won't be my last. This is a fun project, and one a lot of you should try.
I didn't do a frame, as I haven't decided whether to mount it on the wall, or on a carving.

Tom, That looks great. The colors really pop out at ya and the creases in the blanket and the leather ties on the feathers look great as well. Nice carving of the indian too.
That shield may be one that would look great without a frame, looked pretty good on the wall.

ps. love the massager

Very nice Tom. The colors are nice and vibrant. I kind of like the way it looks next to that fantastic old chief myself.

Thanks Terry, This was really a fun project. I wasn't going to do one until I watched Lynn's video, and then it was one of those things that I just had to do.
