Box/Boats

Handmade family of wooden/painted boats with carry case from PCC this week. This is one of my favorite all time finds, so much love has gone into these things-the perfect balance of rudimentary craft/woodworking, practicality and personal project pride (PPP). The way everything is accommodated in the case-held in by canvas covered blocks and the way all the colors and construction of the boats compliment each other has been driving me a little nuts-something kinda Calder/Bauhaus/H.C Westerman about this thing.

*In house relatives here.

O-

Picked up at Renaissance.

In house decoys-slow your scroll here.

Whittled bird found in the Northwoods WI- I'm drawn to pieces which use minimal descriptive information in the act of whittling to achieve the desired form...it could also be the measure of ones attention span or rudimentary skill~but this bird is singing O<.

In house relatives here...here and here.
