Slide of the Month : NOT FOR SALE

 


WARNING: Some scam (IMHO) web stores claim to have "authentic" products from "trusted suppliers"

Channeling Whittlin Jim does not sell or license the slides I make!


Important Notice Regarding the Thunderbird Rosette Slide

Recently, I discovered that several online stores are displaying the Thunderbird Rosette slide designed by Whittlin Jim and made by me, even using a photo taken directly from my blog—without permission.

Let me be absolutely clear: if you purchased a Thunderbird Rosette from one of these sites and actually received something, it is not authentic and was not made by me. In my opinion, most of these sites are fraudulent and are simply trying to take your money without delivering anything at all.

To set the record straight: I have never sold the Thunderbird Rosette or any slide. The only slides I’ve ever given away were sent free of charge, and I even covered the postage myself.

After doing some research, many of these stores appear to be scams. Please exercise caution before making any purchases and know I do not sell slides!

Lastly, the screenshot shared here, which includes my original image, is used under the Fair Use doctrine (Section 107 of the U.S. Copyright Act) for the purpose of commentary and public awareness.

Slide of the month: Shell


June 2025

Time to make: .5 hours

Finishing: 1 hour
 
Original design:  Wayne Mason













Sea shells are fascinating as nature creates some of the most beautiful thing. Now most folks wont find this Scallop Shell to be that great but what makes this interesting to me is I found it digging in my back yard. (I'm no where near the ocean and we are not big shellfish fans.)

Easy slide to make as all I had to do, after cleaning it up, was to glue a loop to the back of the shell.
