[dehrlich]

Well its finally time to share this story. I will let you read the newspaper story but basically 8 pieces of mine were used as set decoration in a big time Hollywood movie. I am posting a link to the story in my local paper, ask any questions you have. I will post the pics of the pieces they used too. Out of all the people in the world that make stuff like this how they ended up with me is a mystery. Just one of those "ya just never know" kinda things I guess. Anyway here you go..

Beautiful work. I can see why your work was chosen. I really like the saying... I can see why that one would sell.

Thank you for all the kind words, I am very proud. The story makes it sound like my stuff plays a major role, in truth we will be lucky to see them briefly behind the action in most cases lol. I can't wait to find out. They actually lost one of them for a time, the Never Forgotten plaque with the flag eagle but it turned up. They were super nice during the whole process. I got $200 for the rental but the experience was priceless. I also got a "wrap gift", like when they wrap up... a nice jacket with the movie name embroidered on the sleeve.

Also thanks to all of you that helped in the creation of this stuff. They are made with patterns so generously shared on this forum and otherwise. Without this I could never have created these works.
