6yo grandson saved recent vaccination #Band-Aid for me to make requested #VaccinationTrain. Happy to oblige: #ScienceSavesLives!
One brown eye for 6yo & one blue eye for his 3yo brother, rooftop universally-recognized health-care symbol, a "crystal" heart, & that cool Band-Aid complete my design.

#Bionicle #woodentrain projects: "Ben Matoro, Toa Mahri of Ice" & #Jaller (requested name by 6yo grandson), Toa Mahri of Fire. Back/top views show that my coffee creamer pull-off seals come in handy for creating weird little plastic parts for my #woodentrain projects!

#AliceInWonderland #WoodenTrain details: #MadHatter #MarchHare & #Doormouse. Hare & Doormouse = scraps of canvas, painted facial details. Hare's whiskers = bits of thread. Used #miniature ceramic teapot; glued lid to side. Fabric tablecloth, teapot acts as #SteamFunnel (to Doormouse's distress!).

I used a sweet #miniature ceramic teapot ~ glued lid to the side so The Doormouse has his home. The #woodentrain body has a fabric tablecloth & the teapot acts as #SteamFunnel (much to Doormouse's distress!).
(Have to do another post for detail photos.)

#Thor #WoodenTrain w/handcrafted #Mjölnir! The helmet was hard - it's made of three glued together tiny things: half a wooden diamond-conical shaped bead, a piece of rubber tread from a broken #ThomasAndFriends #Thumper, & wings I made of fabric. Once all glued, I painted the finished helmet silver.

Couldn't sleep, so at 2:30am made a little Potty for Moana & Baby Groot, to help 2yo grandson as he moves from pullups to toilet (he's doing great, but friends help make everything more fun💓).
I know, I know: sleep probably would've been a better idea 😁

Made my first "from scratch" #woodentrain bases. Cut the wood, drilled holes, & put in the axles. Compressing the axles together wasn't easy 'cuz I'm not strong. But, some extra force on my part & a big hammer did the trick. These 2 trains will be inspired by my lifelong love of #AliceInWonderland.

Found an old @tompettyofficial.bsky.social cassette that I'd made for my then-fiancee (so sometime before 2003; likely in the late 1990s!), and amazingly it still plays!

"Independence With Clouds", a #USA-celebratory painting that I created at a Conner Prairie "en plein air" event years ago, digitally becomes "Distress With Clouds, 04 July 2025".
Because my patriotic heart is broken 💔.

Love of #CaptainCarter in a custom #woodentrain ❤️ Old shaky hands = not great handpainting tiny faces, shields, & flag designs (or ANY designs 🤣), but I like her! Designing hair out of frayed beige material & painting a custom-mixed auburn was a fun & crazy challenge. My 2 little grandsons love her!

#WoodenTrain project ~ my #Marvel #IncredibleHulk was relatively easy (4 hours total with all the glue & paint drying times included) and fun. I do love his little hand-painted face & his felt hair 🤣.

A challenge; he took five days. I've never tried to make anything as complex as this before. Glad it all worked!
My two grandsons, ages 6 & 2.5 yrs old, LOVE them both; they have requested (demanded) MORE #avengers trains!
🤣 I'm in trouble!

#painting for 2.5yo grandson. His love of "Blue Train" comes from #BlueTrain by #JohnnyCash. Made #woodentrain to replicate in painting. Grandson requested: blue castle, based on 3D wooden castle I painted for both my grandsons; Elsa's "Blue Horse of Water" in #Frozen; cardinal flying in the sky.

6yo grandson requested a Cousin Charlotte #woodentrain. She's his mom's cousin (my niece) who's in High School. He said, "Make it a basketball one, red & white for her team, & her game face!" so . . . I tried. His beliefs in my artistic abilities are somewhat belied by actual artistic abilities! ❤️
