Urban Sonoran Desert miniature accent art piece procured from an abandoned, dead, Palo Verde Tree. I guess I would call this abstract art. I resisted the urge to over sand and polish this piece. I simply cross cut the end of this as it was rotted and decaying. When i did, I noticed a most unusual face inside. I think I said some thing like “well hello there”. I often talk to my art in such a fashion. Especially when a piece actualizes or “comes alive”. If that makes me crazy then I don’t want to be sane. Ok, I digress. Sometime words escape me when trying to describe some of my art. This piece seemed to create itself. I had a heck of a time getting my masonry bit through this rock. Not sure what exactly it is, but its not flagstone. I secured this piece with some glue and one drywall screw coming up through the bottom Putting this together was, indeed, a real scream. Enjoy!
All comments and inquiries are welcome. Thanks for taking a look. Cheers!
Dimensions:
base approx. 7”x 5” diameter

I also tend to talk to my wood, but some of the conversations can not be repeated in polite company.
I can see why you picked the title you did, and it does seem fit perfectly, but a Puckish sense of humor
makes me think that it might also be a nice entrance for Robin Goodfellow’s abode. Thank you for
sharing, and I hope you continue to share your conversations with wood.

I understand perfectly what you mean and no, you’re not crazy! I go through pretty much the same things you do and if that makes me crazy too then I don’t wanna be sane either! I think this runs through a lot of the LJ family!

Blue and Bear! Thanks. So glad to know I am not alone…:)
Moment, haha…good question! Hmmmm…have to think about that. How does that song go? “Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate the Positive”. Is that applicable here? Love your fishes by the way.
