And for a laugh...My man was complaining that the plastic fly swats always break, so I told him I didn't want any more coming into the house thanks. Instead, I made him one from an ice cream container lid, the handle was a kitchen scraper that had started to break, and it's sewn together with fishing nylon from a reel that someone was about to throw out.
I have to say that it works a treat.
A handmade flyswatter, you are amazing! My mom still has a very old one, from the 1940s I think. It has a wooden handle and a metal mesh swatter and it's the best one I've ever used. I'll probably inherit it someday! I don't think it will ever wear out or break.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the art and especially like the basket with shells.
They knew how to make fly swatters back then Cynthia. My first thought was to make an Amish style one - leather and wood - but I was persuaded by the main fly swatting person to go with the upcycled plastic. There may yet be swatter #2.
