Art In Fishing Boot Rack Form

10/5/2020

0 Comments

 
​"It is with great respect and appreciation to our family, friends, and community who have served in the armed forces, we say thank you.  May the one that got away, be as large as our Yuengling Trout."   Janise & Ed Crow

This is an evolving photo story about creating fishing themed art that serves as an outdoor wader and boot drying rack out of recycled materials for our veteran community at Camp Breac.
The camp is a fly fishing community for our military, veterans, and their families with the mission of conservation of natural resources, the arts, & education. Located on Spring Creek in Bellefonte, PA.

Good fishing and lots of equipment at Camp Breac meant James Lanning, the proprietor, had a wet stinky storage issue of boots and waders.
So he asked us to help build an outdoor rack that would hold a dozen boots and waders.  The challenge was to use any natural materials around the camp and recycled materials made or used locally in Pennsylvania.
The criteria was to use any natural materials around the camp and recycled materials made or used locally in Pennsylvania.  Then the Crows started to work designing the new boot and wader rack that would serve and honor local veterans.

Note: We are still in the process of making this art piece and will be adding photos and video to this album as we go.  Our goal is to install & dedicate this recycled art project to the veterans on site at Camp Breac on Veterans Day.

We invite you to join us to honor our local veterans with this dedication art piece on November 11th.

Art from Recycled Bottle Caps

10/1/2020

0 Comments

 
We love to support our local community with art projects. This project is near and dear to our hearts as it's for our local veterans at Camp Breac, The Spring Creek House in Bellefonte, PA.   Their mission of serving veterans and families, preserving, recycling, and educating meshed so well with ours, we were happy to see what we could do to solve a problem they had.  

The problem:
Lots of wet fishing boots and waders inside the lodge causing musty storage room.  The host, James Lanning needed a place for the fishermen dry their wet boots before they enter the lodge and store the boots. 

Criteria:
  • Outdoors
  • Use of any natural materials around the camp
  • Recycled materials made or used locally in Pennsylvania
  • Size: hold a dozen boots and waders
  • Theme: Fly Fishing and Armed Forces
  • Serve, preserve, recycle, & educate
We set to work... brainstorming, designing, and prototyping.

It is one part of the larger 14 foot outdoor art piece that will also serve as a fishing wader boot drying rack.  This project was more challenging than I anticipated.

​More on this to come along with the finished fish.
