More stuff from eclectic collector


Do you remember last week I mentioned the eclectic old collector who collects old houses? Well, he also had this straw horse with an old cart.  I took the photo late in the afternoon and it had a lot of nice shadows and textures for Shadow Shots and Scenic Sunday!


 I love polar bears - so beautiful and graceful!  The image on the right is a fiber portrait created by me from my polar bear series. I start by making a sketch on paper, using color pencil to help me determine the colors of the final artwork.  Then using the drawing as a template I create the piece using only fabric and thread. This mom and cub are my contribution to Camera Critters!

The artistry in the saying "one man's junk is another's treasure' is so apt here. This refuse wagon as such elegance and style, why call it 'junk'??

This bear is beautiful, made with talent and love. A true work of art!

Really cute "stuff" if I just had some place to put it (attractively). I always admire this kind of art when displayed and wish I could take some home.

The straw horse and cart have such a nostalgic feeling about them. It is no wonder an old person would want to collect them.
I too have a love affair with polar bears...I hope they survive the Arctic melting away on them.

You've captured the essence of nature. Great shot.

I love this eccentric person with the house and this 'yard art'! Glad you caught it all.
