Here is a hood ornament and I am dedicating this to Michael Fresh, from my photoblog site,who had sent an email of a Petty Girl hood ornament and I mentioned to him some time ago that I had got that piece previously. So here it is.
A side note is that I also realized ( and hence the photo with all the shadows ) that the world of car mascots had pervaded my dreams of late also. And from that dream world I awoke and realized that the dream is a constant work in motion, as I go right into more research and reading and sharpening my hunt skills, as I constantly think and dream mascots. And so the dream goes on, and on, and on, and on...

An underlying theme of 'restraint' imposed on that young woman in photo 2?
I peeked at Marty's group and mine is the stormtrooper: I didn't count.
What a great job that guy has in pic 2
and is pic # from his imagination???? or did he buy a pair of those X -ray specks from out of the back of the comics of those days...???
I don't think many artists these days have models who will sit for hours in some pose for a hood ornament, let alone a painting.
so glad she still has her heels on while posing :)
I don't think the artist even noticed, so why do you? he seems distracted with his gaze !~ Too funny.
seriously !
Thanks you for the loves, officialfuel, musikchoo, sanhardin, walksoftly, bratjdd, vetraio50, BELLIN68 and ozmarty !
Another amazing post Phil, can't believe I missed this before. Where do you get the bases made? These are just waay too cool!
Thanks pickr, I get the bases from wherever I can secure a decent one. Sometimes I will buy a piece with the bases, such as the ones on this post, and more than a couple times I buy bases from little statues, etc. if I think I can get it cheap enough just so that I can use the base. Have done that more than a couple times but it gets expensive mostly because of postage. And once I got a gift from someone kind enough to give me what they did not need. I need some more and hopefully I can get a friend to do some, as there are some important mascots I do not have a base for. I can wait tho, since I doubt if I will buy any bases again too soon. Thanks for asking, Phil.
