ALUMNIPieces who have found a home
Some of these go to family and friends, and I'm happy to pay them a visit from time to time. But I've also been lucky enough to have these pieces in several stores over the years, selling them to people I've never met and letting these pieces go, knowing I'll never see them again. So the challenge is on to shoot a nice photo of them before I send them off. If you're reading this because you bought or received one, THANK YOU! I do my best to help them weather the inevitable, but know that I'll be happy to fix it up like new if something happens to it, or if age or weather get the best of it. Just contact me and we'll arrange to make it happen. The piece at right, Bird of Prey, was one of my favorites. One single windy piece of manzanita survived a wildfire to take on life in a different form, but instead of leaves and shoots — feathers, hemp twine, coins, shells, bells. I call them jangles. They jingle as they dangle. All of these truly are reborn into a new purpose. I try not to take it lightly when I pull a piece of interesting wood off the forest floor. It had a purpose — to decay and enrich the soil for the next life. This isn't a money maker for me. I break even between buying the shells, bells and jangles (those things don't grow on trees), and trips to find interesting pieces of wood or deliver finished pieces. Thank you for understanding. |
