peace symbol ornament

As the story on the card inserted into every box says, this ornament was the product of a great tree trimming party.
The Peace Symbol in the center moves freely inside its circular frame. It is hand made of aluminum welding rods (careful they’re soft) and comes with a hook.

beaver stick mobiles

These ethereal mobiles are made from sticks I collect from the banks of the Yuba River on fly fishing trips. The bark has been chewed off by the beavers that live there leaving a striking pattern. Each one is unique. They hang suspended from the ceiling and gently spin causing an ever changing composition. They spin lazily and range in size from about 60” to over 90” and about 15” in height. Detailing will vary slightly.

Made with permission from sculptor and mentor Jerome Kirk.  I asked if I could make a version of it…he laughed and said “good luck”.  The original was made in 1954 and all that remains is a single photograph.
