Fiddlersgreen.net - Card Models

[luhbo]

Hi co-hibernators,

Just recently I received an email from a guy who's trying to make a living out of card models and other art things - and this since many years. Somehow this works it seems. At least it used to, obviously he actually thinks that a bit more public attention for his business could improve things for him a bit.

Check out his site: http://www.fiddlersgreen.net(with free appetisers) and, maybe, do him a little favour. I don't know how many of his kind still are around nowadays. Not too many probably.

 

Besides that, his site is nicely done and really interesting to read. Lots of pics, 3-views, technical background and more. Enjoy

 

Thanks

Of course he has a Union Jack, too (Feb-18), especially for the Scots here

 

Vincenzo Lunardi, the "Daredevil Aeronaut", was a flamboyant young Italian whose balloon ascents in Scotland were very successful and totally eclipsed those of James Tytler, Scotland's first aeronaut. Lunardi was a popular hero of the period, and the Lunardi bonnet, a balloon shaped hat about 2 feet high, and Lunardi skirts, which were decorated with balloon motifs, were the vogue fashion accessories of the time.

Today's the last day for getting the free ballooned Union Jack. No Wax Cotton, oiled silk instead.

 

 

This is a model of the colorful balloon Lunardi made "in tribute to all things British".
